Here are some new images of GM's next generation 2016 Chevrolet Cruze with a regional twist; it's the China market specification model and it will debut alongside the facelifted version of the current Cruze at the Beijing Auto Show on April 20, that we told you about in our previous post.
After the first photos of the car came to light, GM responded by saying that it will differ from the North American model, featuring among other things, a slightly shorter wheelbase. The Detroit brand didn't divulge any more details, but prototypes we've seen testing in Europe sport the same overall design.

Sources from China learned that the new Cruze measures 4,567mm (179.8 inches) long, 1,786mm (70.3 inches) wide and 1,458mm (57.4 inches) tall, riding on a 2,662mm (104.8 inches) wheelbase, while in base trim, it will tip the scales at 1,245kg (2,744 lbs) or 115kg (254 lbs) less than the current model sold in China.

According to the same people, power for the new model is said to come from GM's latest 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 149hp and 235Nm of peak torque paired to "a 7-speed dual-clutch auto or six-speed manual gearbox", and a 1.5-liter direct-injection four delivering 114hp and 146Nm matched to a five-speed manual or six-speed auto.

Looks a bit cramped in the back still no rear headroom, Cruze always seemed to get marked down for that in reviews..

But it won't matter to much to a 4ft 1" Chinaman.

Wonder why its being tested in Europe Chevy are all but gone now, even UK What Car have pulled the plug on the Korean ex Daewoo made Chevrolets on their website, it only has US made Corvette & the Chevy Volt left on their website that must have lifted the Chevy brand reputation 1,000% in a instant in Europe.
