Chevy Cruze goes on a diet - Gizmag
We're not sure if you could call the design complex, but with its sloping roofline and swept back headlamps the Cruze is a handsome looking car. The new Cruze offers 2 inches (51 mm) more rear knee room than its predecessor and if you're keen to pamper rear seat passengers, it can be fitted with rear seat heaters. Chevy has packed the Cruze's cabin full of tech. At its American launch, the Cruze will be fitted with a 1. 4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 153 hp (113 kW) and 240 Nm of torque – enough to send it to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8 seconds. The engine is fitted with an aluminum cylinder block and head, and takes advantage of a low-friction oil pump, camshaft drive and low-friction piston rings for improved efficiency. GM is claiming the Cruze will achieve around 40 mpg (5. 9 l/100km) on the highway, which equates to a maximum range of 530 miles (853 km). No official combined figure has been released yet. Chevrolet is yet to release pricing details for the Cruze, but we do know that it will be available in four different trim levels: L, LS, LT and Premier. Source: www.gizmag.com
