2019 Chevrolet Malibu, Cruze, Spark – Video
Chevrolet is strengthening its car lineup with premium, sporty styling, enhanced features and expanded choices for the 2019 Malibu, Cruze and Spark.
Cars are important part of today’s industry retail and fleet markets, and represent a quarter of the industry’s retail market.
“We are committed to offering consumers a full lineup of products with fresh designs, new technologies and efficient powertrain options,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet. “The investments we have made in Spark, Cruze and Malibu will help position the brand for success in competitive segments that still make up a significant part of the total industry.”
The 2019 Cruze, Malibu and Spark will offer a wide variety of trims, packages and models — from entry level to high end — to meet the needs of today’s car buyers. Chevrolet’s car lineup has proven effective at bringing in new and younger customers to the brand who then become loyal advocates.
Design DNA
Design and performance are important to today’s car customers, no matter the vehicle. The restyled faces of Chevrolet cars offer signature lighting that makes each car instantly recognizable as a Chevrolet, day or night. Redesigned front ends for the Spark, Cruze and Malibu offer a more premium look while maintaining their athletic body sides.
“The restyled face of Chevy cars for 2019 is characterized by a family-like appearance, with each model honoring its Chevrolet heritage while showing off expressive designs,” said John Cafaro, executive director, Global Chevrolet Design
A greater attention to detail includes intricate, sculpted grilles and integrated signature headlamps. All three models incorporate Chevrolet’s signature dual-element taillamps.
