The new Chevrolet Cruze 5-door hatchback will go on sale across Europe mid 2011, followed by other global markets. While the Cruze sedan will arrive at U.S. dealers in September, the Cruze hatchback will not be offered in the U.S. market.

A show car version of Chevrolet�s compact hatchback will be seen for the first time at the Paris Motor Show, on September 30. It will be one of four world Chevrolet premieres at the show.

With the introduction of the new Cruze hatchback, customers have an alternative body style to the traditional sedan.

According to Wayne Brannon, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe, the potential for meeting further customer demand is significant. �Cruze is turning out to be a real success story. We are selling it in 70 countries around the world and it is our top-selling passenger car globally.��

Since its launch in the spring 2009, the Cruze sedan has been warmly welcomed by markets all over the world, seen as a game changer for the brand with customers attracted to its coupe style, build quality, European 5-star NCAP rating and driving dynamics. It was also elected the AUTOBEST car of 2010 by a jury of leading auto writers in Central and Eastern Europe.

Outside of Europe, Cruze�s sales momentum is equally evident. In China alone, Chevrolet has sold nearly 90,000 Cruze vehicles since the start of the year, while the sedan is also selling well in Russia, parts of South America, and in India and other emerging markets.

Chevrolet Cruze 5-door

The Chevrolet Cruze, which will go on sale in the United States later this month, is already a pretty huge success in other parts of the world. General Motors will now be expanding the Cruze lineup with a new 5-door hatchback variant that will go on sale across Europe in mid-2011, followed by other global markets.

�Hatchbacks play a critical role in many markets. For instance, the total compact segment in Europe represents around 4.8 million units which is over a quarter of the total market, with hatchbacks representing around 65% of that volume,�� Brannon said. �We therefore expect to see increased business in a number of regions.��

GM says that the Cruze hatchback �will not be offered in the U.S. market.� We�re really hoping they change their minds and we encourage you to comment in the comments section after the jump if you want the Cruze hatchback to come to the United States.

Chevrolet Cruze goes on sale in the U.S. this month

When the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze goes on sale in the U.S. this month, it�s going to bring a whole new experience to the compact car segment, including a brand-new approach to fuel economy. The Cruze is expected to deliver a best-in-segment 40 mpg highway, and that comes courtesy of some impressive work on the part of Chevrolet engineers. For example, a unique variable-displacement oil pump rests under the hood of the Cruze, helping both reduce strain on the engine and increase fuel efficiency.

Here�s how it works: The pump features a pivoting control-chamber mechanism and sliding vanes that allow its displacement to be varied based on engine rpm. When the engine�s first warming up, or when its operating at high speeds, the pump�s displacement is reduced as compared to during other conditions.

�By lowering the volume of oil we reduce the amount of energy, or torque, required to pump the oil, without taking necessary lubrication away from the engine,� said Mike Katerberg, assistant chief engineer for the 1.4-liter engine used in the Cruze. �Reducing the torque demand reduces fuel consumption. It�s a simple, durable, maintenance-free design that we have used in our transmissions for years and more recently in our hybrid vehicles.�

It�s just another way Chevrolet is taking fuel-efficiency to the next level with the Cruze, which will also feature such technologies as variable valve timing and, on the Cruze Eco model, a unique grille-shutter system. The latter automatically opens or closes slats in the car�s grille to optimize engine cooling and aerodynamics based on driving conditions. Other efficiency enhancers for the Cruze Eco include 17-inch alloy wheels with ultra low-rolling resistance tires, as well as a comprehensive aero-oriented body-kit.

The bottom line on the all-new Chevrolet, according to Margaret Brooks, the brand�s marketing director for small cars: �Cruze delivers the amenities, quietness and roominess you expect in larger, more upscale vehicles with the fuel economy of a compact.�

The all new 2011 Chevy Cruze has enough test miles on its tires to circle the Earth over 160 times. The Cruze made a lot of stops as it went around the globe, each one seemingly more punishing than the last. Chevy Cruze took on driving rain, mountains, deserts, potholes, mud, bad roads, ice, snow, dry heat, humidity and more. After all that, it finally hit the test track and showed just how fun it was to drive. Even after 4,000,000 test miles, there's much more of the Cruze story to tell.

An all-star team of international designers pushed the interior boundaries of Cruze. It starts with space and Cruze has plenty of it � more than Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. And it's easy on the ears too. A triple-sealed, acoustic-laminated glass windshield and liquid-applied sound deadeners are just some of the techniques used to help make the road seen, not heard. Cruze also has available finishing touches: leather seat appointments or unique fabric accents for a sophisticated two-tone look.
The available small displacement 1.4L turbocharged engine, ideal for Cruze, is designed to deliver efficiency without compromising performance. Coming late 2010, the Cruze Eco is expected to offer an estimated 40 MPG highway.³ Cruze Eco adds ultra-low-rolling resistance tires and other technologies to boost efficiency.

Technologies like StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four-wheel antilock brakes help you stay on the road and in control. And should the unthinkable ever happen, Cruze is equipped with OnStar� Automatic Crash Response⁵ standard for the first year. Built-in sensors can automatically alert an Advisor, who is immediately connected to your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location, even if you're unable to respond.
The Cruze blueprint calls for more than you'd expect. That's why every Cruze has the OnStar Directions & Connections plan� � including Turn-by-Turn Navigation⁶ � standard for the first six months. Hands-free calling is available with Bluetooth� wireless technology⁷ for select phones. An available USB⁸ port for your iPod�⁹ and XM Radio¹⁰ for three trial months give you plenty of entertainment options. Best of all, treat your senses to the available nine-speaker Pioneer�¹¹ sound system. There's just some things that no driver should live without, even in a car this size

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a good car, although at least part of its goodness comes from the fact that it isn�t really that small. It�s well-positioned against the Civic and Corolla. I believe that it beats both of those cars in significant, measurable ways. This is what it is: a good car, a bold car, a car for which no purchaser need make an excuse or feel any concern. This is what it might be: great. That�s for the buyer to decide. This is what it is not: American.The issue of American engineering for the Cruze hardly came up. In the modern era, GM seems to source its electronics in China, its major systems in Europe, and its brainpower in Korea. It�s smart business � TTAC readers know about China�s market and the limitless potential there � but for those of us who wanted an all-American small car to draw a line in the sand, there�s only disappointment.

The rest of you can buy a Cruze with a clear conscience. It�s built here, it�s feature-packed, it doesn�t lag behind the competition, and it�s likely to be a reliable, decent vehicle. That�s all this segment asks for. Anything else can be dismissed as the worthless dream of a wandering dreamer like myself, a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floor of silent seas, wishing for the day that General Motors shows us a great American small car.

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a good car, although at least part of its goodness comes from the fact that it isn�t really that small. It�s well-positioned against the Civic and Corolla. I believe that it beats both of those cars in significant, measurable ways. You are looking at the Cruze�s not-so-secret weapon: an interior that represents a Cloverfield-sized leap past the competition. It�s part Cadillac CTS, part Buick LaCrosse, part Chevrolet Malibu, and unmistakably GM in the way the exterior does not quite manage to be. Forget the Civic or Corolla. From the touchable dash panels to the big, comfy seats, the Cruze is fitted-out to compare directly with Accords and Maximas. The interior is spacious.
