The Chevrolet Cruze is the first vehicle to use GM's revamped Delta 2 platform, an architecture that is also used on other GM small cars around the globe, including replacements for the Chevrolet HHR, Opel Zafira and its related siblings. The Cruze's bodywork carries a design vocabulary that is incorporated into all vehicles across the globe that carry the Chevy bowtie. Chevrolet Cruze is available in three variants: Chevrolet Cruze LT , Chevrolet Cruze LTZ and Chevrolet Cruze LTZ AT.

Exterior

Chevrolet Cruze is a looker - the huge double front grille dominated by Chevrolet's new logo in the centre is a show stealer. Cruze's arching roof-line, extending from the steeply raked windshield to its sloping rear pillars and short rear deck, brings coupe-like proportions to a compact sedan.

Chevrolet Cruze features a dramatic re-interpretation of the traditional sedan featuring Chevrolet's new global design language that is becoming a signature on all new products carrying the gold bowtie. New Cruze is the result of a development process harnessing GM's global expertise and is the first of a new family of compact products that is expected to deliver world class quality.

Wider and longer than most of its competitors, Chevrolet Cruze has a purposeful stance with its wheels located at the outer edges of the tautly drawn bodywork. Noticeably tight body panel fits and a restrained use of exterior trim add to a high quality, 'hewn from solid' appearance. Chevrolet Cruze's dramatic profile is matched by bold front styling, with large headlamp housings that wrap around the front corners and sweep up, arrow-like, into the fenders and sculpted hood.
