Cruze offers upscale presence with the fuel economy and price tag of a compact i.e, $16,995, starting MSRP. And with its sculpted exterior and refined interior, it feels more like a sanctuary than a car when you’re behind the wheel. Looks like you’ll have to get used to more. Cruze has a distinct look — one you won’t see in other cars in its class. Its beveled hood, sharp angles and sculpted fenders are details generally reserved for luxury vehicles — but not anymore. The available 1.4L turbocharged engine is the ideal size — small yet powerful — designed for efficiency without compromising performance. It delivers 138 horsepower and accelerates with authority. Cruze takes on tight corners with rack-mounted electric power steering and a race-proven Z-link rear suspension. It’s a driving experience you might not expect in a compact. Cruze offers 36 MPG highway. Coming late 2010, Cruze ECO is expected to offer up to 40 MPG highway. That’s better standard highway fuel economy than 2011 Ford Focus or 2011 Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla offer. Bluetooth® wireless technology(12) for select phones comes standard in 2LT and LTZ and is available in every other Cruze model. Take all your calls with one simple touch of a button on the convenient steering wheel-mounted controls.
