The all-new Chevrolet Cruze isn’t expected to launch for another year or so after a reported delay, but from the latest spy shots, it seems everything is going just fine. And the latest prototype 2016 Cruze photographed driving in the cold white north shows something we haven’t seen before: a finished tail lamp design.
From the looks of things, the lights incorporate an LED setup, with the yellow indicator lights fixated above the angular red brake lights. Looks aggressive, and definitely different from what we see today with the larger, jeweled look of the 2014 Cruze. We’re also noticing a shortened rear decklid, giving the D2xx Cruze more of a fastback look than before, and kind of similar to today’s Volt. This leads us to believe that the shape was sculpted this way for aerodynamic purposes, as the Volt has the lowest drag coefficient in Chevy’s stable outside of the Corvette.

I like the fact that it shares its tail lights with the traverse and the fact that it shares an interior with an impala,but that grill is ugly looking. Mr. Reuss please do us all a favor and carry on with with the impala trend and not the cheaply made, disgusting looking sonic from Korea
SSWWEEEET!! The next Cruze is looking better all the time 🙂
Cruze diesel needs a manual transmission.
Still too little to pass much judgment here yet.
The body lines look pretty plain accept the hood to fender where there is a large rising ridge. Not sure how that will look less the wrap but time will tell.
the lights and grill have more detail to show so do not get too worked up on them yet.
Looks like they want to make it into a baby malibu
I’m impressed by people who can tell a lot from a car with that much camo. Or are they imagining things. What we can see and guess looks good so far, though. But I think weight, engine and tranny will say a lot about how well it stacks up against the competition, and I believe we know little about that yet.
So now every GM vehicle is going to have that style taillight?
It started with the Camaro, then it went to the Corvette, Traverse, and Malibu, and now its coming to the Cruze…
Hey GM, ever heard “Too much of a good thing is bad for you”? Well it applies to taillights too.
No every Chevy may have a similar tail light and this is the same thing they sis with many of the cars in the late 60’s and 70’s with the 4 round tail lights.
Most car companies use a family trait like this. If it works it is good if it does not work it is a fail.
These at least appear not to be in the wrong direction so it should be ok.
Is it too much for people to just wait until the car is done to complain about it?
God fucken dammit!
You guys label the car a failure and it’s not even done yet! At least let GM take the wrap off before killing the car!
God help us if that’s the case.
