GM Reveals 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback
Chevrolet Introduces 2017 Cruze Hatch
General Motors January 7, 2016 HERE’S THE STORY Ahead of its debut at the North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet today introduced the 2017 Cruze Hatchback. Developed with all the technologies and dynamic driving attributes of the all-new 2016 Cruze sedan, the new hatch adds a functional and sporty choice for customers. It joins Colorado and Trax as the latest Chevrolets to push into new segments. PRODUCT DETAILS The Cruze Hatch has the same, class-leading 106.3-inch (2,700 mm) wheelbase as sedan models, but features a unique roof and rear-end structure – including wraparound taillamps and an integrated spoiler at the hsatop of the liftgate. It opens to offer 18.5 cubic feet (524 liters) of cargo space behind the rear seat. With the rear seat folded, cargo space expands to 42 cubic feet (1,189 liters). ON SALE Fall 2016 QUOTABLE “With 9 percent market growth in small hatchbacks last year, it’s the perfect time to bring the Cruze Hatch to America,” said Alan Batey, president, General Motors North America and Global Chevrolet. “As Cruze continues to set the tone for Chevrolet globally, it articulates the brand promise of offering cars with the latest technologies, more features and greater efficiency, performance and safety with fresh, distinctive styling.” ABOUT THE NEW CRUZE An all-new, more rigid and lighter architecture is the Cruze’s foundation for driving dynamism, while also playing a significant role in safety and efficiency. It is more than 200 pounds (91 kg) lighter than the previous-generation model due largely to a body structure that is 100 pounds lighter and an engine that’s 44 pounds (20 kg) lighter. The Cruze lineup in North America is offered in L, LS, LT and Premier – and a more expressive RS package, featuring unique front and rear fascias, rocker panels, rear spoiler, fog lamps and – on the Premier model – 18-inch wheels. The 2017 Cruze Hatch will be offered in LT and Premier trims, and with the RS package. KEY FEATURES

That's actually a nice looking hatch. An AWD performance version might be a good option.

Not bad at all. Being that my wife stepped up to an SUV, when it comes time to replace my daily driver ('14 Fusion 2.0L Ecoboost) I was thinking of getting something smaller. If they make a more powerful version of this, I may be sold. I don't even want a Focus RS, or WRX STi competitor for my daily driver, but if they tossed in the 250 horsepower turbocharged 2.0L that is optional in the new Malibu, that would be perfect...

It would also be nice if they would offer this in the diesel..
Great fuel economy, lighter and more cargo space? Perfect daily driver for me..I'd buy one in a heart beat and at the drop of a hat....any hat. |

Effing gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for. Sadly, I already purchased because at the time there was no definitive yes this would even happen.
My fear is the dolled-up version seen above will equal the price of a Focus ST1/2. I'd rather pay the same 23k and get the turbo/tight handling than the LTE/pleather. As others have said, don't let it go the Sonic RS route. MOAR POWR! |
