We see new spy shots of prototype vehicles nearly every week. The vehicles are usually wearing some type of camouflage meant to cover-up any details the manufacturer might want to hide, but more often than not they can be easily identified. This new set of photos from TFL Car is a little different though, it looks like some type of Chevrolet, but we can’t pin point exactly what it may be.
TFL Car points out it could be the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. It looks much different than the existing Volt, however it appears to have a hatchback which incorporates the large rear window pane, just like on the current car. It also appears to have the same two red light strips which are seen on the lower rear bumper of the Volt. The only detail throwing this assumption off is the small exhaust pipe sticking out from beneath the rear bumper, though this doesn’t mean we aren’t looking at the next-generation car.
It’s hard to say exactly what this prototype may be considering Chevrolet has at least three different small cars currently under development. We have seen spy shots of both the next-generation Chevrolet Spark and Cruze, and to our eye, this prototype looks like neither. However we still haven’t seen official photos of the U.S. market 2016 Cruze, so we’re not ruling anything out. If you think you might have a guess, check out the photos here and let us know what you think the mystery vehicle might be in the comments below.

Or cruze hatchback?
The Volt will be the one with the rear bumper with the sharp corners on the edge. they can not change this aspect as it added Electric miles.
Like vic1212 I’d speculate Cruze hatch, front and headlight area looks similar but too much camo design to clearly see edges in this blurry shot. They have said we would be getting one this go-round so it might be.
Tough call. I was thinking Cruze, but the headlights look very much related to those on the current Sonic. The body style appears to be a hatch/sedan. Not sure which car that makes more sense for.
I would call it a Cruze 5 door but I could not tell you what market it is for.
The aero is wrong for a Volt on the back.
Doesn’t it look like there is a different colored place in the cammo right where the charger is on the volt would be?
Its a cruze hatch probably and more so the front bumper facia looks similar to the impala which would put the font end in line similarity as car mfgers seem to do in their line…no way can that be a volt from the front pic and the back lights seem too big on the ends for the volt.
