CHEVROLETCruze Hatchback 2018 - Present

　　Chevrolet introduced a significant facelift for the Cruze lineup in 2018 for the 2019 model-year. Besides the new visual changes, the carmaker introduced new transmissions and revised trim levels.

　　Chevrolet found an intelligent way to cut the development costs of the Cruze and took the European Opel/Vauxhall Astra K, adapted it to the North-American market, and sold it as the Cruze. It was something it had tried before with the Saturn Astra, but the timing was so bad that the brand had to be deleted from GM's inventory.

　　With the introduction of the refreshed lineup, the Cruze received a front fascia that followed the same design language as the Camaro. The swept-back headlights incorporated sharp lines for the daytime running lights fitted inside the headlamps. A wide grille with horizontal slats adorned the lower bumper, and it was flanked by extended, taller side scoops that hosted the foglights. The hatchback featured a new roof spoiler mounted at the top of the tailgate. At the same time, the rear bumper was redesigned and sported a new black trim that decorated the lower and the sides of the rear valance.

　　In 2019, Chevrolet introduced the Cruze Hatch LS. The car's interior received a new 7" touch-screen for the infotainment system. For the LT trim level, Chevrolet offered cruise control, aluminum wheels, and a six-speaker Sirius XM Satellite radio. Moreover, the Cruze was available with a keyless entry and push-button start option.

　　Under the hood, the carmaker offered just two options: a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a 1.6-liter turbo-diesel. The former was paired to either a six-speed automatic, while the oil burner got paired to a nine-speed automatic.
