6 Continents Built It. 60 Countries Love It. 6 Million Test Kilometres Proved It.

Assemble teams of outstanding engineers from around the world. Give them the challenge of redefining the compact car – in every area that matters. Put that car through the most gruelling testing perhaps any car had to endure. Then make the car available in more than 60 countries – and let the public and the journalists be the judge. So what's the response to the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Cruze? Autoblog.com says: "Quite simply, we love it…" AutoWeek.com called it "The grown-up small car." And Caranddriver.com described it as a "thoroughly well-engineered car…" Making your choice quite straightforward. Don't just drive. Cruze.

6,000,000 Km Of Testing

It logged over 6 million kilometres of real-world testing across six continents. It endured some of the harshest conditions on the planet, from the heat of the Saudi Arabian desert to the cold of a Russian winter — and from the mountain passes of the Alps to the mud of Thailand's monsoons. So what does that odometer reading tell you about Cruze? That it is all-new, yet its quality and durability have already been proven.

Best-In-Class Fuel Efficiency^**

Engineering a car to deliver Best-in-Class^** fuel efficiency requires creative thinking to produce innovative technology. Which is exactly what was done with Cruze Eco. Not only does it squeeze remarkable efficiency out of the 1.4L ECOTEC^® Turbo VVT engine. It also uses breakthrough engineering in the form of the class-exclusive automatic air shutter system behind the front grille. At low speeds, It cools the engine by letting air flow through the grille. At highway speeds, the shutters close, improving aerodynamics and further enhancing fuel efficiency — which is anticipated to be Best in-Class with fuel consumption ratings of 4.6 L/100 km (highway) and 7.2 L/100 km (city).^**

Life Is Better Turbocharged

It's the ticket to both legitimate performance and anticipated Best-in-Class fuel efficiency^** — the 1.4L ECOTEC^® Turbo four-cylinder engine that's standard on Cruze LT Turbo, LTZ Turbo and Eco models. Turbocharging makes extra torque available at low rpms, where it makes a real difference accelerating and passing. Even better, turbocharging enables an engine to produce more power from a smaller displacement. That translates into unbeatable fuel efficiency that is further enhanced by the 1.4L Turbo engine's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and a lineup that includes 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions.

“…The Interior Of The Cruze Shines” — caranddriver.com

Cruze sets a different tone for the compact car class. That begins with a sporty twin-cockpit design and extends to a look that is exemplified by the available two-tone interior with leather seating surfaces. The spaciousness will remind you more of a mid-size sedan than a compact. And the attention to detail and fit and finish set a new standard. As for the level of quiet — here's what Autoblog.com had to say: “Triple-seal doors, a laminated windshield and hydraulic engine mounts make the cabin Lexus-quiet. We know that sounds absurd, but we don't make the comparison lightly.”

Class-Exclusive 10 Air Bags^†

Cruze takes compact car safety to a whole new level. The extensive safety package is highlighted by a class-exclusive 10 standard air bags — a number no competitor offers.^† But Cruze is also engineered to help prevent collisions, thanks to a range of driver control technologies, including StabiliTrak^®, 4-wheel ABS and traction control. And, for added reassurance, OnStar^® with Automatic Crash Response is included on Cruze LTZ Turbo and is available on all other models.
