Chevrolet showed dealers and employees a hatchback version of the upcoming all-new 2016 Cruze alongside the updated 2016 Chevy Silverado during its recent national dealer meeting in Las Vegas.

According to dealers, the 2016 Cruze hatchback will go on sale at the same time as the sedan in the Untied States, finally answering the calls of enthusiasts to offer the Cruze hatchback variant in North America. Pictured above is a show car version of the current Cruze hatchback for sale all over the rest of the world.

GM will unveil the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze (and the 2016 Camaro Convertible) this Wednesday, June 24th, 2015. The compact vehicle range will be completely overhauled (redesigned and re-engineered), ride on GM’s new D2XX platform to enable notable weight savings over the outgoing model, feature an all-new engine lineup, a plethora of new in-vehicle technology, and a host of other new features. It will also be different from the Chinese-market Cruze. Our only question is how The General has managed to hide the Cruze hatch from prying spy photogs for so long.

Stay tuned as we bring you continuos coverage of the all-new 2016 Cruze, along with Chevrolet news, right here at GM Authority.
