In a few hours from now, Chevrolet will debut the updated North American version of its Cruze sedan at the New York Auto Show. A few thousand miles across the North Pacific Ocean, Chevy is preparing to do the same to the Chinese market-specification Cruze, albeit with a different makeover (not to be confused with the next-gen model).

Seen for the first time in these revealing shots, China’s updated version of the Cruze gets a completely different nose job with a more protruding front grille (notice how it no longer extends into the hood) together with restyled bumpers on both ends and new tail lamps similar to those found on the Malibu.

The refreshed, current generation 2015 Cruze will debut at the Beijing Auto Show later this month, possibly alongside the all-new Cruze sedan for China – GM may offer both models on the market.
