General Motors’ next Cruze world car has been scooped in a totally undisguised state in a Shanghai holding yard, previewing the model we’ll see as the replacement for the locally manufactured Holden JH Series II model.
The new Cruze is expected to make its official debut at the Beijing motor show later this month, and introduces a new look for the small car lineup that will likely be little changed when it touches down locally sometime next year.
We’ve already seen spy photos of the new model undergoing winter testing early last year, and this undisguised example looks to echo the shapes visible beneath that mule’s camouflage, but is the first sighting of the production model’s head and taillights.
This example is wearing the Chevrolet bowtie badges used by the current model across several international markets, and the new interior features similar shapes to several recent GM models including our VF Commodore.
The new model is expected to ride on a revised version of the current model’s Delta II underpinnings, and will enter a market already populated by fresh examples of the Mazda 3, Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Corolla.
Under the bonnet will be new 1.4 and 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engines, following a similar reduced-displacement policy to the Volkswagen Golf.
