2015 Cruze unveiled at NYC auto show this week


General Motors later this week will unveil the new 2015 Chevrolet Cruze, featuring revised exterior styling, more interior convenience and greater connectivity for the LS, LT, RS and LTZ models.

The exterior-styling cues, inspired by the new Impala and restyled 2014 Malibu, provide a more-cohesive look across Chevrolet’s sedan range, while more intuitive controls update the Cruze interior, the company said.

The updated, standard technology features include a text-message alert system that reads incoming messages, Apple Siri integration and OnStar 4G LTE with available Wi-Fi hotspot.

The 2015 interior will also feature new cupholders, a trunk release on the center console and door-lock switches that were moved from the center to the front doors.

New interior and exterior colors will be available as well.

GM said the 2015 Cruze lineup will include the Cruze Eco and Cruze Diesel, with a driving range of up to 717 miles per tank.

The standard safety features include 10 air bags, a side blind-zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, rear park assist and a rearview camera.

The automaker said the 2015 Cruze will make its debut at the New York International Auto Show, set to begin at the end of the week.
