The import brands—especially Honda and Toyota—have done an excellent job providing small-car buyers with good basic transportation. Now it’s Chevy’s turn to prove that there is life beyond Civics and Corollas. The new Chevy Cruze is the small car with greater aspirations.
The Cruze delivers the essentials—an attractive price, low operating costs, and impeccable durability—with attributes that both the Civic and the Corolla lack.
• So much extra interior and trunk room that the EPA lists the Cruze in its mid-size category.
• Ten air bags, antilock brakes, and StabiliTrak stability control are all standard for maximum safety.
• Standard OnStar and XM radio with trial subscription.
• Exceptional highway fuel economy, plus a special Eco model that gets 40 mpg on the highway.
• A wealth of options such as DVD navigation, leather trim, a Pioneer nine-speaker sound system, Bluetooth
connectivity, a handy USB audio interface port, ultrasonic parking assist, and 18-inch aluminum wheels.
Chevrolet’s confi dence in the Cruze rests on the fact that more than 330,000 of them are already on the road
in 60 countries. Prior to its U.S. introduction, the Cruze will have logged more than 4 million test miles.
With the goal of providing the compact class’s smoothest, quietest ride, 30 acoustical treatments were developed, including body cavities fi lled with sound-absorbing foam, a fi ve-layer headliner, and reinforced door structures. Limiting the gaps between exterior panels to less than an eighth of an inch yields a long-lasting, top-quality appearance.
The Cruze’s claim to fame will be providing superior value as the best compact car not much money can buy.
