Europe is to get its own Chevrolet Cruze model in a car that General Motors is backing in a big way. A five-door hatch Cruze will appear at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and it should be a European-specific model with the continuing resistance to (or at least perception of it) hatchback models in the US.

It would provide some competition to the new Ford Focus and not only – there are plenty of hatchback models in Europe to take on if one is so inclined. At the moment, the Cruze is what is described as a show car – between concept and prototype – although it shouldn’t change greatly from what we can see in these pics.

The European Chevrolet Cruze will also be available in Europe by mid-2011, although no pricing has been announced as yet. Judging by the pics, it’s quite a sexy little model and could find itself a niche here, depending on just how good a competitor it will be. Europe is already loving the new Focus and the continent has plenty of other hatchback models to look to, as well.
