2016 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback

Chevy hasn’t altered the design of its successful compact much, except for in the rear, where the modified Cruze provides more space: With the rear seat folded, cargo space expands to 47.2 cubic feet. And this model is more than 200 pounds lighter than the previous one. But with the dramatic fall of gas prices, the public's appetite for small cars is dwindling and the 2017 model doesn't provide much to lure buyers back to a more fuel-efficient offering. Hatchback cars have also been out of fashion, since they carry a perception of being cheap. Chevrolet hopes that more practically minded millennials think otherwise and will embrace their practicality.
