No official photos and we just data, but we can give you a name: Chevrolet Cruze. Under this heading, Chevrolet has announced that Paris will present a "compact" something talludito, with 4.6 meters long and a high habitability, will try to conquer these consumers hitherto somewhat reluctant to get on a vehicle of the mark.

At first we thought the same thing would be the final version of the Chevrolet Beat, but by size (4.6 m has little compact), it seems clear that we are talking about the new generation of Nubira, a saloon overall judging by spy photos will represent a major step forward in the catalog of Chevrolet

The new Chevrolet Nubira, or Cruze, to get you started getting used, will be making long in the city of lights in October, and was put up for sale in Europe during the spring of 2009. Later it will be marketed in other countries under different names (Cobalt in the U.S., for example).

PS: This information is corroborated by the news that we arrived from Poland a few weeks ago. In that country, the Chevrolet Nubira is sold under the name Lacetti sedan.

PPD: Flashback total. A few years Chevrolet sold in Japan highlighted a version of Suzuki Ignis also called Chevrolet Cruze. Obviously similarities with the new model start and finish in the name.

1.4 L turbo engine and content consumption for the Chevrolet Cruze

Slowly begin to get the first details about the serious Chevrolet Cruze, a new global model Chevrolet designed to replace the old Nubira, Lacetti, Optra and Cobalt where sold. According to Automotive News, the vehicle will be launched with a new 1.4 liter turbo engine that will yield between 120 and 140 hp, throwing roadside consumption of 5.8 litres/100 km (17 km / L).

As we already knew, the first version of Chevrolet Cruze will be a conventional sedan, but also we will see variants Hatchback and family. The production work will be carried out in South Korea (Asia-Oceania and perhaps Europe), United States (americas) and Russia (local consumption). His exact date of launch is still unknown, although we know that sales will boot in the spring, a few months after it is lodged at the Paris Motor Show.




At the Chevrolet Cruze and spied what we have seen from all angles (and even without camouflage), but this possibly is the best photograph of the carrier that has appeared on the network. Although not TheCarFanatic points to the source or origin of the image, the symbol of Daewoo seems to have been taken in South Korea, where it will be assembled for Europe and Asian markets (Russia and the U.S. will have their own assembly lines).

What is clear is that we are facing one of the most polished Chevrolets so far, as evidenced by the elegant design of the instrument panel and plastics combined with the upholstery. The creation of the vehicle has borne by an international team, something that shows in detail the form on the center console and panels from the board. The result is a mix very grateful (and surprisingly balanced) between Insignia Opel and Chevrolet Malibu, to name only two models with which bears a certain resemblance.

Surely you know already, but if you have not heard yet, the Chevrolet Cruze will be the task of replacing the Nubira / Optra, arriving later to replace the U.S. as Chevrolet Cobalt. His mechanics are in the restrained, and after its launch in early 2009 versions arrive Hatchback and family. We will have much more information shortly before his presentation at the Paris Motor Show, within two months.
