Chevrolet reveals new-gen Cruze interior

Shanghai GM has released interior photos of the new Chevrolet Cruze sedan, which made its world premiere at Auto China 2014 in April. A month ago, the automaker had unveiled the model's exterior design.

The new Cruze features Chevrolet's flowing signature dual-cockpit design inspired by classic sports cars like the Corvette and Camaro. Though it incorporates a sports-car-like style, the cabin is roomy and comfortable. The three-spoke multi-function leather steering wheel is combined with a dual gauge sporty instrument cluster

According to the company, despite being a compact vehicle, the new-generation Cruze is very spacious thanks to an optimised layout and structure, moving forward the cowl point, as well as adopting four wheels that extend outward and a roof curve that extends backwards. Moreover, an all-new downsized engine helps maximise cabin space. Other highlights of the interior are class-leading rear knee-room, roomy interior dimensions and a butterfly-shaped centre console

The bold use of a rich, saddle-brown color throughout enhances the feeling of luxury. The front dash, door panels and seats are all wrapped in hand-stitched saddle brown premium leather. There’s superior connectivity with an eight-inch multi-point touch-screen, abundant personalised built-in APPs, and the Chevrolet MyLink II system, which allows customers to get directions, access their personal contacts, and stream music and images by connecting their smartphone via Bluetooth. They can also use voice controls to access features such as hands-free calling. Luxurious chrome accents, which echo the exterior chrome detailing, are accompanied by a piano-black-trimmed center console and ice blue ambient lighting.
