2015 Chevrolet Cruze at the New York Auto Show

At the 2014 New York Auto Show, Chevrolet has officially unveiled the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. The new exterior styling cues are inspired by the all-new Impala and restyled 2014 Chevrolet Malibu as it adopts a new front bumper, a "dual-port" grille and LED daytime running lights (on LT and LTZ variants). The model also has revised taillights and an updated color palette, while more intuitive controls update the interior. New voice-controlled features enhance safety when responding to text messages in the vehicle.

Interior changes are limited but include revised switch gear and improved cupholders which "make it easier to insert and remove cups." The model also gains Siri Eyes Free technology and a Text Message Alert system which can read text messages aloud. Other notable highlights include a seven-inch color touchscreen display, OnStar 4G LTE connectivity and an optional GPS navigation system.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze declined to mention any powertrain changes, so engine options will likely include:

    - A 1.8-liter four-cylinder petrol with 138 bhp (103 kW) and 125 lb-ft (169 Nm) of torque
    - A turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder petrol with 138 bhp (103 kW) and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) of torque
    - A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel with 151 bhp (112 kW) and 264 lb-ft (357 Nm) of torque

The 2015 Chevrolet Cruze will go on sale this fall and pricing will be announced closer to launch.
