The Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback is a fat-bottomed, tech-laden, family-friendly machine
Packing nearly the same specs as the sedan, the Cruze Hatch throws a bit more cargo space into the mix, with great results.
If you're in the market for a hatchback, the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback could be right up your alley.
Its new rear end adds 3.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up.
Put the rear seats down and cargo space expands to more than 47 cubic feet.
It's meant to be a competitor to the Mazda3 hatch, the Focus hatchback and the new Civic hatch.
While it might not be the best driver of the bunch, it packs a hell of a technological punch.
Standard equipment includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Optional tech bits include a whole host of active and passive safety features, as well as built-in navigation and OnStar's 4G LTE hotspot.
Two trims are available here -- LT and Premier.
LT gets cloth seats and smaller wheels, while the Premier adds leather, larger wheels and LED running lights.
Fuel economy is estimated at 29 mpg city and 38 mpg highway, figures I was able to meet and exceed with ease.
