We've gotten a pretty good look at the 2010 Chevy Cruze already, but the model that had been making rounds in the U.S. was nothing more than a styling buck with no guts inside. Today, just a few hours ahead of the Paris Motor Show, General Motors has revealed the rest of the Cruze, including its interior, and we like what we see. The exterior looks crisp and shows off Chevy's latest design language, especially with the Malibu-esque face and sharp headlights. Everyone agrees that it's a step-up styling-wise from its Cobalt forebear. It's the interior that really shines, though. What appears to be a tweed-like fabric covers sweeping colored panels from the dash to the doors. Two large gauges, two smaller ones and a digital readout places the most important information front-and-center while a cluster of buttons sits just below a centrally-located LCD screen. Meanwhile, the center stack appears to be a fresh design, though any judgment on its ergonomics will have to wait.

Very very nice. Much nicer than the exterior. This is definitely class leading.

GMusa · 10-01-2008, 03:57 PM

That is great looking! For sure one of the, if not the best interior in its class! And for sure the best interior for GM in a compact car.

oooo...sport mode button!

JerryL · 10-01-2008, 04:13 PM

So the Camaro won't be the only one with multi-color sport interiors. I do like it a lot.

Family Man · 10-01-2008, 04:22 PM

Nice, however somehow I think GM will find a way to screw this up when they finally release the car in NA.

CADILLACSIXTEEN · 10-01-2008, 04:30 PM

I never thought I'd say this about a GM non-luxuary car, but I couldnt ask for a better interior, especially in this class!!!
But GM needs this NOW, not in 2 years :/

Jimmy Jive · 10-01-2008, 04:35 PM

That little screen on the right side of the center-console had me believing one would have the option to turn their passengers air-bag on or off, haha...

Smart looking little car though, and a truely class leading interior.

Astra RL · 10-01-2008, 04:37 PM

WOW! That is all I can say about this interior, it has truly beaten my expectations. I wasn't sure if the loth would look good on the dash, but it does. I agree this needs to be here ASAP rather than in 2 years. Please GM just once blow the competition out of the water.

JeffInDFW · 10-01-2008, 04:42 PM

So, WHAT IS THE REASON GM IS GIVING AS TO WHY EUROPE GETS THIS CAR NOW, AND WE GET IT 2 YEARS FROM NOW?

I honestly do not know. I doubt they just want to keep selling the Cobalt because they printed up too many Cobalt sales brochures.

bballer113 · 10-01-2008, 04:42 PM

I just pray that the coupe version isn't a afterthought design wise and that we get a worthy SS model.

Lutz says it's because the Cobalt is selling so well!

The interior really is class leading.....Now....two years from now when the US finally gets it?....

Here we go... Click through for more live pics of the unveiling.

I already posted the above in another thread, but since this thread is a repost of what I posted in that thread anyway, here's a look at the full unveiling.

bballer113 · 10-01-2008, 04:58 PM

What a tease if we really have to wait 2 years for this to come to the US.

toddr19 · 10-01-2008, 04:59 PM

The center stack under the NAV screen seems to have alot of buttons

That steering wheel is definately better looking than any other GM steering wheel.
