Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

2017 Chevy Cruze Hatchback:

While the Cruze sedan is available in four trims – L, LS, LT, and Premier – the five-door will only be available in LT and Premier guise, but can be had with the optional RS appearance package. All Cruze models are powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, with 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. Standard amenities include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via Chevy's MyLink infotainment system, as well as a raft of high-tech safety features.

Pricing information isn't available as of this writing, though we expect the Cruze Hatchback to command a slightly higher premium than the sedan. For comparison, a new Cruze LT sedan starts at $21,995, with the Premier coming in at $23,995. We'll have official numbers closer to the Hatchback's on-sale date this fall.

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

Saw this on Jalopnik today.  Actually think it looks pretty cool.  People are gonna complain that it's not fast and sporty enough and compare it to the Focus ST, but I don't think that's the segment it's trying to fit in.  I would still drive it  cool

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

Wait a 1.4L Cruze starts at $21k?  WTF are people smoking?  That's a $16k car at most.

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

What Hammy said  arrow-up I like how it looks from the exterior, but a Cruze starting at $23k? That should be starting in the teens right?

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

It doesn't make a lick of sense.  A 4 door Mazda 3 starts at $17k... that's where this things should be.

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

4 door 2016 Cruze starts at $17495 (L trim).  They are starting the hatch with LT trim and above.  That's the difference.

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

And now it makes some actual sense, way too lazy to look further into it lol.

But I don't get how any LT Cruzes sell holy fuck.

After rebates with either the Tech or Convenience pack they usually sell for $17,200 to $18,200. I've been in Sales at a chevy dealership for a couple months now and they sell like crazy.

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

I would take that with a diesel and a stick or a 280hp 2.0T/6mt combo.

Re: Chevy Cruze Hatchback arrives this fall

I wish it came with the Solstice GXP motor..

I really don't like it all that much, it's just seems like playing catchup. Chevy's small car history is terrible.
