Does anyone know the lifting points for a floor jack or hoist on a 2017 gen2 Cruze LS ? .There should be two at each corner. One for the floor jack, and a second for the safety stand. The rear axle beam is too high up between the battery compartment and the trunk spare tire well, to be of any use. One location could possibly be under the pocket that the rear coils spring sits in ? Don't know what is safe in the front, because there are many plastic covers under the engine hiding potential locations from view. I'd like to know where a shop would put the hoist when the tire has to come off to do the front brakes.The locations where the factory jack is to be placed are OK, while the car is new, but with all the salt used on the roads in the winter, this sheet metal rusts and just buckles when trying to lift the car as I know from my two previous GM cars. I hope the car does not need any work for a long time, but I would like to be prepared for after warranty. Any pictures would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the picture of the lifting points. It is definately showing the Gen 2 , and they are showing the weld flanges. With time these will rust and not be strong enough to support the weight of the car without buckling. There should be two jacking points at each corner, one for the floor jack and a second for a safety stand.

I don't want to damage my car by jacking at the wrong locations either. Thanks for the link to the video. It shows the Premier model which has a different rear suspension than the LS that I have. I posted some pictures of the underside of my Cruze. I can't get further under the car when it is up on the ramps that I have, to get better pictures.

Thanks for the links to the 2 videos.Good job finding them, they are excellent. If not exactly the same ,the Chinese Cruze is very similar. They do seem to use the pinch welds as jacking locations.There are a lot of plastic panels under the front of the car. I think under the spring tower is a good location at the rear of the car. At 4:43 in the second video, there is a large pad with a hole in it just inside of where they have the hoist located, that might work at the front. I know where the brake lines are ,they are painted black now, so they should not rust through as quickly.

Next time I am out near a dealer, either where I bought my Cruze, or another dealer I will stop in, and if they have a Cruze on the hoist I will take pictures if they let me into the shop.
