Workers at GM's Lordstown, OH plant just got another shot of good news from the General: the next-gen compact car from Chevrolet will be built there. The Chevy Cruze will replace the Cobalt, which recently had a third shift added to its production, and will make its initial debut at the Paris Motor Show in October. Europeans will get the first shot at the new car with sales beginning in April of 2009. The U.S. won't get the car until the following year, as the Lordstown plant begins phasing out the Cobalt and ramping up production of the Cruze in June of 2010. Both cars will be built simultaneously for a short time, according to UAW Local 1714 President Dave Green, who represents the workers at the Lordstown assembly plant.

A look at recent spy shots has our interest piqued over the new small sedan. Styling looks to be worlds better than the just decent Cobalt and the promised forty miles per gallon sounds like just what the doctor ordered in the face of ever-increasing gas prices


All-new Chevrolet Cruze coming to Paris, sales begin Spring 2009

Chevrolet has big... well... smallish plans for Paris, where the automaker will unveil an "all-new" compact vehicle dubbed the Cruze. Born from Chevy's global design and engineering team, the Cruze will sport many of the exterior elements we've seen on recent concepts, so expect lots of angular lines, a high belt-line and a squat greenhouse. The Cruze will supposedly be able to handle a parcel of five passengers, along with whatever junk they can fit in the trunk, and will measure in at 4.6 meters (181 inches) -- think of it as the next Cobalt.

After its world premier in the City of Lights this October, the Cruze will go on sale across Europe in the spring of 2009, and, according to the press release below the fold, will be available in "other global regions" afterwards.

PRESS RELEASE

Chevrolet Cruze

A new name and a new design for an all-new car

Detroit - Chevrolet announced today that its all-new entry in the compact segment will be called Cruze. The new Chevrolet will make its global debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October.

Cruze was developed by a global design and engineering team and will be built in multiple locations around the world. The Cruze approaches an overall length of 4.6 meters and offers ample interior space and cargo capacity for five passengers, giving it an advantage over competition in the compact segment.

The Cruze features Chevrolet's new global design language that will continue to be a signature element for future vehicles carrying the gold bowtie. Combined with high safety standards and excellent build quality, Chevrolet will again deliver on its promise of offering a very attractive package at an exceptional value.

The new Chevrolet Cruze will be available in European markets in Spring 2009, followed by other global regions.

Chevrolet Cruze revealed ahead of Paris debut
Posted on Thursday 21 August 2008

General Motors has released the first details and images for its new Chevrolet Cruze, which is scheduled to make its world debut at this October�s Paris Motor Show. Joining the recently launched Insignia sedan, the new Cruze has been developed from the ground-up as a global model and will eventually be sold in Europe, North America and Asia.

The version pictured here has been designed for the European market and will be available with two petrol engines and one diesel engine upon its launch in March next year. The petrol engines measure 1.6 and 1.8L and develop 112hp (82kW) and 140hp (103kW) respectively. Both feature variable valve timing on the inlet and exhaust sides to improve fuel economy and boost low-end performance. The oil-burner is a 2.0L turbodiesel and develops 150hp (110lW) and 320Nm of torque. A five-speed manual will be fitted as standard but a new six-automatic will also be available.

The North American version of the car will replace the current Cobalt and is set to receive its own powertrain lineup and trim options. Power for the American version is expected to come from a 1.4L turbo four-cylinder that�s good for 40mpg (5.88L/100km) on the open road, and likely to get close to 30mpg (7.8L/100km) in city use. Production will be handled at GM�s Lordstown assembly plant in Ohio, most likely in early 2010, with first sales to start soon after.

Built around the Delta 2 platform - the first GM vehicle to use the new architecture - the Cruze will be the forerunner of the replacements for many of GM�s cars around the world including the HHR, the Cobalt and Opel�s Zafira.

For the Asian market the car will be badged as a Daewoo and is expected to go on sale about the same time as the North American version.

Americanii s-au msicat repede. In sinteza vine cu cateva noutati foarte tari pentru GMDAT:
- bordul foarte reusit ca design;
- transmisia automata noua cu 6 trepte;
- motoarele au VVT;
- designul exterior foarte reusit;
- pentru piata americana se preconizeaza un 1.4 Turbo.

OFICIAL: Chevrolet Cruze HB5 debuteaza la Geneva






Cea de-a 81-a editie a Salonului Auto de la Geneva va gazdui premiera mondiala a noului model compact Chevrolet Cruze hatchback, intitulat HB5.

Modelul compact este bazat pe aceeasi arhitectura Delta II ca si varianta sedan si fratele vitreg Opel Astra. Platforma este una de ultima generatie, toate motorizarile urmand sa respecte normele de poluare Euro5, iar ESP-ul va fi standard pentru toate versiunile.

Cruze hatchback a fost dezvoltat aproape integral in Europa, rezultatul fiind un model care satisface pretentioasele gusturi europene in materie de stil si dinamism.

Cu un design agresiv si o linie extrem de arcuita a plafonului, al doilea membru al gamei Cruze isi propune sa atraga o clientela tanara si dinamica si va juca un rol important in cresterea cifrelor de vanzari Chevrolet la nivel european.

In contrast cu sportivitatea exteriorului, interiorul spatios, portbagajul generos cu o capacitate de 400 litri si numeroasele spatii de depozitare ne arata ca inginerii companiei americane nu au ignorat nici latura practica a noii compacte Chevrolet.

Sub capota noului Cruze HB5 se vor gasi trei motorizari, doua pe benzina si un diesel. Motorul de baza va fi unitatea de 1.6 litri si 124 cp, iar propulsorul de 1.8 litri si 141 cp va fi destinat celor care isi doresc mai multa sportivitate. Initial, singurul diesel va fi noul VCDi de 2 litri, in varianta de top, ce dezvolta 163cp. Spre sfarsitul acestui an sunt asteptate si doua noi motoare supraalimentate, cu cilindreea de 1.4 litri.

Lansarea noului Cruze hatchback reprezintă un pas critic în Europa, conform lui Wayne Brannon, Preşedinte şi Director Executiv al Chevrolet Europe. „Modelele hatchback joacă un rol critic pe multe pieţe. În total, segmentul de autovehicule compacte din Europa reprezintă aproximativ un sfert din piaţa totală, în timp ce modelele hatchback reprezintă aproximativ 65% din acel volum. Noul Cruze hatchback întăreşte dorinţa Chevrolet de a fi considerată una dintre principalele mărci din Europa şi este un autovehicul care are un raport calitate-preţ mai bun decât al unor concurenţi mai cunoscuţi.”

Noul Chevrolet Cruze hatchback va fi disponibil si in Romania incepand din luna iunie si va continua sa fie asamblat in fabrica General Motors din Coreea de Sud.

[bleunightdanger]

pai nu se compara nici la pretz - Cruze costa dublu
poate au mai imbunatatit materialele... sau poate masina merge brici si atunci nu mai conteaza restul

[Frank SF]

interesant, desi pe softpedia posesorii de cruze vorbesc de diverse probleme...

totusi nu au pastrat linia de la Conceptul hatch aratat la Paris, din pacate e mai urita asa, in serie, parca i-au mai lungit putin hatch-ul, probabil ca sa mai mareasca portbagajul presupun.
