The current Chevrolet Cruze (more than one million made) will continue alongside the new 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. It will be called ‘Cruze Classic’ and positioned as a budget alternative to the new Cruze, in the same fashion as Ford does with the Focus Classic and new Focus.

Split grille stays on, now with the Chevy bow tie sitting kinda cramped in the upper part. Headlights having a tad of Kia.

  1. Fordified front end, just a bit…

    The interior is rather ghastly, with a vast expanse of baby poop colored faux leather…

    My goodness, if the interior looks like shite, it probably is shite.

  2. Despite the clumsy front grille an improvement on the current model – hardly a great achievement though – but too generic in appearance. No evidence of any Chevrolet design language, it looks like a Toyota/Kia blend. Not good enough.
