2017 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback revealed

The 2017 Cruze hatch, which will be marketed as a more sporty and practical choice, shares its 2,700 mm (106.3”) wheelbase with the existing sedan variant. Opening the tailgate reveals 643 litres (22.7 cu. ft.) of cargo space, or 1,336 litres (47.2 cu. ft.) if the rear seats are folded flat.
