雪佛兰科鲁兹系列的车型阵容还在继续扩展，最近谍照记者首次拍到了科鲁兹混动版照片。当时该车正在密歇根州进行测试，车身进行了轻度伪装，该车采用了熟悉的设计，但不像去年发布的科鲁兹RS那么突出运动风格。虽然伪装遮盖了大部分细节，但仍可看到该车采用了新的前保险杠，改款进气口，较为普通的侧裙。车尾也变得更为普通，这款车主要是为提升燃油经济性而非造型风格。车厢内与标准版一样，预计有一系列高科技配置，包括倒车摄像头，可支持安卓Auto和苹果CarPlay的MyLink信息娱乐系统。目前还不清楚该车动力系统细节，但预计将搭载一台取自沃蓝达的1.5升四缸引擎，或者是一台取自迈瑞宝混动版的1.8升四缸引擎。无论搭载何种引擎，都将提供锂电池和至少一台电机。科鲁兹混动版将于今年春季发布，随后在今年底或明年初上市。

 

Chevy Cruze Hybrid spied for the first time

The Chevrolet Cruze lineup continues to grow as our spy photographers have snapped the first pictures of what is believed to be the Cruze Hybrid.

 

Caught undergoing testing in Michigan, the modestly camouflaged prototype has a familiar design but is nowhere as sporty as the Cruze RS that was unveiled last year. The camouflage hides most of the details but we can see the model has a new front bumper, revised air intakes, and less extreme side skirts. The rear end should also be more conventional as it will focus on efficiency instead of style.

 

The cabin will echo the standard model so expect an assortment of high-tech goodies including a rearview camera and a MyLink infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.

 

Performance specifications remain unconfirmed but the model is expected to use either a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine from the Volt or a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine from the Malibu Hybrid. Regardless of which engine is used, it will be backed up by lithium-ion battery pack and at least one electric motor.

 

The Cruze Hybrid is expected to be introduced this spring with sales starting either late this year or early next year.
