最近谍照记者首次在南欧拍到了2017款雪佛兰科鲁兹掀背车照片。虽然当时车身进行了重度伪装，但仍能看清基本轮廓。车身前半部分与轿车版无异，而车尾透过伪装看到尾灯组，发现与老款车型有很大不同。新车尾灯组为水平设置，一直延伸到行李箱盖，另外，车顶还有突出的扰流器，使车身更突出运动风格。预计掀背车与轿车共享2700毫米轴距，车重则比老款车降低113公斤。新款科鲁兹轿车比老款车更具动感，而这种运动风格也将体现在掀背车上。该车动力系统为一台1.4升涡轮增压引擎，功率113千瓦/153马力@5600转/分，扭矩240牛米，搭配六速手动变速器，可选装六速自动变速器。轿车版0-96公里/小时加速时间8秒，预计掀背车也能保持这一水平。

2017 Chevy Cruze hatchback spied for the first time, coming to US

Our spies have sent us the first batch of images with the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback.

 

The new Cruze hatchback was caught on camera testing in Southern Europe with a significant amount of body disguise, but we already have an idea about how it will look like. The front half of the car will be virtually carried over from the new sedan and that’s actually a good thing as the new model is quite a looker.

 

As for the rear end, you can see the production taillights through the camouflage and these are substantially different than the ones on the old Cruze hatchback. The new clusters have a horizontal arrangement and extend onto the trunk lid, and there’s also a prominent roof-mounted spoiler to give it a sportier look.

 

The generous 2,700-mm wheelbase from the sedan should be carried over, just like the 113 kg (250 lbs) weight loss compared to its predecessor. The Cruze sedan has a more aerodynamic body than the old one and chances are it will be the same story with the hatchback.

 

Power will be provided by a 1.4-liter turbo producing 153 bhp (113 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 177 lb-ft (240 Nm). Output will be sent to the front axle through a standard 6-speed manual or an optional 6-speed automatic. The sedan runs the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in 8 seconds, so expect the hatchback to have just about the same level of performance.
