With an audience of 350 automotive journalists from around the world, Chevrolet premiered the stars of its lineup at the Mondial de l'automobile de Paris. On top of the Orlando and Volt concepts, Chevrolet presented the production models of the Camaro and Cruze.
These cars were already well known, except for one major detail, the passenger compartment of the Cruze, the compact sedan that will be replacing the Cobalt on the North American market. With the introduction of the Cruze, Chevrolet has revolutionized the way its cabins are designed.
The overall feel is greatly inspired by the Malibu's dashboard, with two deep waves in front of the driver and passenger. However, the Cruze really sets itself apart with the charismatic quality of its design. Reminiscent of the Ford Verve concept's interior lines, the centre console features fully integrated components.
As with the majority of Chevrolet's new products, a two-tone interior is available. Chevrolet thus limits the use of plastics, dressing up its dashboard in the same fabric used for the seats.
The manufacturer has taken a giant step forward in the compact sedan class. Unfortunately, we'll have to exercise a little patience, as the Cruze won't be available in North America before April 2010 as a 2011 model.
