Next Holden Cruze revealed

Holden parent company General Motors is set to officially unveil the next Chevrolet Cruze at the New York motor show this week, but has already released images and information that give a good idea of what's on the way -- and what we'll get here with Holden ceasing local production of the model.

The Cruze has been given a facelift with a more angular split grille and reshaped front bumper that echo the more recent styling of the Malibu sedan. Upper-spec models will get LED daytime running lights in the fascia.

The rest of the exterior echoes the current Cruze styling, but there are changes in the cabin, the most significant being a better infotainment system featuring a 7-inch screen and extra USB ports, 4G connectivity that makes the car a wifi hotspot, smartphone handsfree integration that will read text messages to the driver, and Apple's Siri system for iOS 6 and 7.

Minor updates include the relocation of switchgear, revised cupholders and new exterior and interior colours. There's no confirmation that we'll get all the connected technology here in the Cruze update, but we expect more information from Holden after the car is revealed.
