All-New 2011 Cruze from Chevrolet
Design
An all-star team of international designers pushed the interior boundaries of Cruze. It starts with space and Cruze has plenty of it — more than Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. And it's easy on the ears too. A triple-sealed, acoustic-laminated glass windshield and liquid-applied sound deadeners are just some of the techniques used to help make the road seen, not heard. Cruze also has available finishing touches: leather seat appointments or unique fabric accents for a sophisticated two-tone look.
Fuel
The available small displacement 1.4L turbocharged engine, ideal for the Chevy Cruze, is designed to deliver efficiency without compromising performance. Arriving late 2010, the Cruze Eco is expected to offer an estimated 56 MPG highway. The Cruze Eco adds ultra-low-rolling resistance tires and other technologies to boost efficiency while also sporting a rear spoiler and 17" wheels. Saving gas will finally look as good as it feels with the 2011 Cruze from Chevrolet
Safety
The Chevrolet Cruze sets itself apart from other compacts with 10 standard air bags, including frontal, front seat side-impact, roof-rail head-curtain, rear-seat side impact, second row side, and front knee air bags. Technologies like StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four-wheel anti-lock brakes help you stay on the road and in control. And should the unthinkable ever happen, Cruze is equipped with OnStar® Automatic Crash Response free for the first six months. Built-in sensors can automatically alert an Advisor, who is immediately connected to your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location, even if you're unable to respond.
Technology
The Chevy Cruze blueprint calls for more than you'd expect. That's why every Cruze has the OnStar Directions & Connections plan — including Turn-by-Turn Navigation — standard for the first six months. Hands-free calling is available with Bluetooth wireless technology for select phones. An available USB port for your iPod® and XM Radio for three trial months give you plenty of entertainment options. Best of all, treat your senses to the available nine-speaker Pioneer sound system. There's just some things that no driver should live without, even in a car this size.
