Revealed by GM ahead of its official debut.the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback is a five- door car developed by Holden in Melbourne.

According to Holden chief designer Richard Ferlazzo, his team spent more than 12 months working with GM designers from across the globe to develop this car. “Our brief was to create an alternative body style to the traditional sedan that retained the same dynamic proportions that has made Cruze such a success around the world,” he said.

Apparently, the design of the Cruze hatchback that we see here is final, as the design team created the production car first, before adapting it to look suitably glamourous for a motor show. This means that once you take off those huge wheels and fancy headlamps, you’re looking at the production Chevy Cruze hatchback.

This five-door Cruze, which sits on GM’s Delta II platform like the Opel Astra, has neat proportions and shares styling cues with the sedan – the front end is mostly identical while the profile signature line and the placement of door handles are familiar. It remains to be seen if there’s any change to the “double cockpit” interior.

Australia currently imports the Cruze sedan from Korea, badging it as a Holden.

The Chevrolet Volt MPV5 crossover concept rolled silently out of the gates during the 2010 China Auto Show.

The Volt MPV5 measures 4,585mm long, 1,871mm wide and 1,612mm tall. It rides on a 2,760mm wheelbase, which is only 15mm longer than the wheelbase of the Chevrolet Volt.

As expected, the concept features an electric motor with 111 kW (150 hp / 152 PS) and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque. The 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack allows the MPV5 to travel up to 51.5 km (32 miles) on electricity alone. When the battery is depleted, a 1.4-liter engine recharges the battery while simultaneously providing power to the electric motor. This enables the MPV5 to have a range of 482 km (300 miles). While detailed performance specifications weren't released, the MPV5 has a top speed 160 km/h (100 mph).

According to Doug Parks, GM's Global Vehicle Chief Engineer for Electric Vehicles, "The Volt MPV5 concept demonstrates the flexibility of the Voltec propulsion system, which can produce enough electric power to propel a range of vehicles from a compact sedan like the Volt to a crossover like the Volt MPV5 concept."

GM's green machine the Chevrolet Cruze ECO packs a 1.4 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder underhood. With variable valve timing and the 6-speed manual transmission, Chevrolet expects the Eco to return up to 40 mpg Highway (City mileage and that of Automatic-equipped cars will be announced shortly).

The Cruze ECO isn't just an efficient power/drive train either. A lot has gone into the whole package, from the lightweight wheels and "ultra-low" rolling resistance tires to the lowered ride height, this particular Cruze was prepped for good fuel economy.

It seems like the entire front end was engineered for aerodynamics; it has "a lower front grille air shutter that closes at higher speeds to improve aerodynamics and opens at lower speeds to optimize engine-cooling airflow, [the] upper grille has more 'closeouts' to improve aerodynamics, [and a] lower front air dam extension."

As expected, the gearing is for fuel mileage, not roaring fun. Chevrolet says you expect to pass the 60 mph mark in 10 seconds with the the stick (or about 9 with the automatic).

The Chevy Cruze RS is available in two trims in the US namely the LT and LTZ models. According to Chevrolet, the said package "bolsters the car's styling with unique fascias, rocker moldings, rear spoiler and fog lamps."

Inside, drivers get classy chrome-rimmed gauges and "opaque cluster bezels" for a sporty, glowing appearance at night...right. Well, at least the chrome trim will be a nice touch.
