The Hatch is Back — Chevy Returns Hatchback to US with 2017 Cruze

The Cruze is Chevrolet’s top-selling vehicle globally, and part of that reason is the hatchback variant, popular throughout Europe. For the 2017 model year, Chevrolet plans on bringing the hatchback version to America.

As your Knoxville Chevrolet dealer, West Chevrolet is excited for the opportunity for Chevrolet to continue expanding its portfolio to offer the Tennessee new car buyers more options! As with the all-electric Bolt, this 2017 model year Chevy Cruze will add a new dynamic to West Chevy’s inventory in 2016.

Like the 2016 Cruze, this hatchback managed to shave off more than 200 pounds for a lighter and more responsive driving experience. Current hatchback competitors on American soil include the Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Prius, Scion iM, Ford Focus hatchback, Hyundai Elantra GT, Mazda 3 hatchback and the Kia Forte5. Many news has been made on the emerging CUV market, but it looks like the hatchbacks are making a comeback.

Like a Cruze but with a twist

Specs for the 2017 Chevy Cruze hatchback include a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine with up to 153 horsepower and 177 lb.-ft. of torque. With the seats down, the max cargo capacity rings in at 47.2 cubic feet. If you grew up driving a hatchback with a manual transmission, you’ll be happy to know that both an automatic and a manual transmission will be offered on the ’17 Cruze hatchback.

Many of the same convenience, safety and technology features that a new 2016 Cruze owner would enjoy will be found in the Cruze hatchback. Lane keep assist, side blind zone alert and the available Teen Driver package will help keep the Cruze and its precious cargo safer. The popular 4G LTE Wi-Fi availability will turn the Cruze hatchback into a mobile hot spot, and the new available smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will put the Cruze hatchback ahead of the competition.

An RS package will be available as well with features such as unique front and rear fascias, rocker panels, rear spoiler, and fog lamps.
