2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback exterior

The appearance of the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback has been updated rather than completely new. Fitted modern style, modern technology and unique character. The first generation of this model was presented back in 1999, during such a long period the car has gone through more than one change. There are no fundamental changes in the appearance of the hatchback, since the design is still quite fresh and enjoys positive popularity.

Designers have changed individual features of the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback 2019 optics, and also added a couple of elements to distinguish the new product from the pre-styling model. The front optics have received a sharp style, with a characteristic black background.

The designers decided to leave the previous arrangement of the optical elements of the Cruze Hatchback 2019. In particular, the outer part is decorated with L-shaped LED running lights, the main part was taken under the lighting lenses, and closer to the radiator grill there are small direction indicators. The basis for the front optics of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019, in most cases, are xenons, top-end configurations, or you can optionally add LED lighting.

Not less attention is paid to the radiator grille of the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback 2019. Designers have divided it into two parts due to the horizontal chrome line. The upper part is small and rather serves as a decorative insert, the lower part of the grille is open and occupies the main part of the front of the car. Depending on the selected configuration of the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback 2019, the radiator grille insert can be simple mesh or in the form of shapes (rhombus, trapezoid, and others). In most cases, the grille is black with chrome edging, but the option of a chrome insert in the center is not excluded. Such pleasure will cost about $ 400- $ 600.

Front bumper sedan and hatchback Chevrolet Cruze 2019 differs initially, both in design and in the complete set of details. The bumper will be similarly different for the charged version of the hatchback. In the usual configuration, inserts, foglights and extruded lines are added to the sides of the bumper. The inserts can be large, almost for the entire side of the bumper of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019, or an order of magnitude smaller in the lower part of the bumper.

The hood and windshield of the updated 2019 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback remain unchanged. To add more anger to the hatchback, the designers added several sharp lines to the hood, the main one in the center, it also divides the hood into two parts, a couple more lines stretch from the radiator grille to the front struts, thereby raising the central part. The windshield has migrated from the previous Chevrolet Cruze model, the middle-class configurations received partial heating, in the area of ​​the wiper parking area, more expensive options will acquire full heated glass.

Side part 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback looks more like a Honda Civic in a similar body. Sporty features, small wheel arches and modern, elongated styling. The front and rear wheel arches stand out only slightly from the main body of the body, while a sloping line stretches from the front arch to the rear stops, it also divides the car into an upper and lower part. To give a little symmetry to the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback, door handles were placed on the same line, exactly as before the restyling. The plus is that the handles are standard, the designers abandoned the idea of ​​hiding the tailgate handles, as this could well spoil the overall look of the Chevrolet Cruze.

The lower part of the doors was embellished with an additional curved line, as well as door sills. Another feature that has changed is the side rear-view mirrors, it should be said right away that they are different for the Chevrolet Cruze sedan and hatchback, both in terms of body shape and functionality. The standard set of hatchback mirrors includes LED repeaters of turns, heating and an electric adjustment drive, optionally or in top trim levels, automatic folding and memory for two settings will appear. Otherwise, the side part of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019 hatchback does not stand out with special features and speaks to many about the sporty character of the car.

The colors of the body of the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback are the most diverse, from dark to bright options:

• silver;
• red;
• dark grey;
• white;
• the black;
• arctic blue;
• golden;
• graphite;
• Orange;
• blue;
• burgundy.

The manufacturer does not offer other shades of the Chevrolet Cruze body color, but for a metallic shade it will be necessary to pay from $ 395. To finally emphasize the style of the hatchback around the perimeter, the designers have added chrome inserts and edging. The basis for the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback was 15 "steel wheels (for the basic configuration) or 16" steel wheels for more expensive options, you can also optionally add 17 "alloy wheels, but with a lower profile rubber.

The rear of the new 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback looks no less stylish. The designers added a slight slope to the trunk lid and accentuated the rear feet. As for the spoiler, depending on the selected configuration, it can be small or sporty with a characteristic raised border and notches. A large LED stop repeater has been added to the center of the spoiler, while earlier it was an order of magnitude smaller. The glass of the trunk lid of the Chevrolet Cruze itself is small, as well as the general part is made in a sporty style.

The rear feet and bumper of the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback stand out the most. Like the front optics, the designers have refined the rear feet, giving them an expressive and modern style. In structure, the feet stand out from the base of the body, and the LED technology served as the basis for the feet. To the extent that the hatchback body is small, and the feet are quite massive, the designers divided them into two parts, one installed on the body of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019, and the second on the trunk lid.

It should be noted right away that the lid is small, with a high fit, which means that it will not be very convenient to load large things.

The rear bumper of the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback also gives out the character of the car to many. The basic bumper is simple, with a pair of LED foglights, an exhaust tip and a license plate notch. The sports version of the hatchback is distinguished by a highlighted black insert under the license plates, the same insert stretches as a base for the LED fog lights and smoothly goes into the diffuser. Otherwise, there are no special differences between the trim levels, but in comparison with the pre-styling version, the car has been updated for the better.

The final exterior detail of the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback is the hatchback roof. It should be noted right away that it largely depends on the configuration. It comes standard with a shark fin antenna on the back.More expensive versions of the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback received an electric sunroof, the most "charged" options will get a panoramic roof.

If we talk about the general appearance of the new Chevrolet Cruze 2019 hatchback, then there are no special and radical changes. The designers preferred to make partial, and little noticeable changes, but against the general background, the style of the hatchback has improved significantly. Still, there are significant differences between the basic and average configuration of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019, both in style and in individual decorative elements, although many brands have begun to move away from such a division.

2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback interior

Rumors that the interior of the new 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback will be asymmetrical have been around for several months, but after the official show of the novelty, all theories have faded into the background. The central part of the panel is symmetrical and is quite accessible to both the driver and the passenger. Despite the novelty and updates of the exterior details, the hatchback interior is made in the style of the brand. The changes were made to the trim material, as well as decorative inserts and the location of a pair of buttons, otherwise everything is the same as before the restyling of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019.

Steering wheel The new 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback is no different from the previous model. Small spokes on the sides and one in the center, although the steering wheel rim has become more massive.

The steering wheel of the Chevrolet Cruze 2019 can be adjusted in height and depth using an electric drive, the adjustment stroke is large enough that you can set the steering wheel for a driver of any physique.

In contrast to the exterior, the interior of the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback received an order of magnitude fewer changes. On the other hand, the designers used better materials and good functionality for driving a car, which made it possible to bypass competitors even with such minor modifications.
