Oshawa, Ontario (Wednesday, April 20, 2016) – Offering a fuel consumption rating of 5.6 L/100km highway, the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze with a new Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged engine featuring standard stop/start technology delivers enhanced efficiency in stop-and-go driving.
“The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is a more efficient and sophisticated evolution of the brand’s best-selling global car,” said Laura Pacey, brand director, Chevrolet in Canada. “The next-generation Cruze elevates the segment with innovative safety and technology features that are accessible to compact car customers.”
The Cruze’s fuel consumption rating of 5.6 L/100km highway for the LS and LT models rivals its competition. It tops competitors such as Focus with a four-cylinder (6.0L/100km hwy), Nissan Sentra (6.1L/100km hwy), Mazda3 (5.7L/100km hwy), Hyundai Elantra (6.3L/100km hwy) and Volkswagen Jetta (5.9L100km hwy – non-hybrid).
The top-line Cruze Premier offers a fuel consumption rating of 5.9 L/100km highway.
The Cruze’s efficiency is rooted in a new, direct-injected 1.4L Ecotec turbo and a leaner architecture, which contributes to a 113 kilogram (nearly 250-pound) weight reduction on L, LS and LT trims over previous models. Stop/start technology bolsters efficiency in stop-and-go traffic, helping the Cruze offer a consumption rating of 7.8 L/100km in city driving – a 7-percent improvement over previous models. Comparing the all-new Cruze LS with automatic transmission to the same trim of the previous generation Cruze, equipped with the 1.8 L engine, provides a fuel consumption improvement of 18 percent highway and 26 percent city.
The most connected car in its class based on built-in 4G LTE WiFi and connectivity features, including offering new technologies such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility*, a more comfortable ride and an athletic, aerodynamically optimized design, the 2016 Cruze elevates the compact car segment.
It also offers 10 standard air bags, as well as an expanded range of available adaptive crash-avoidance technologies, including Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision Alert.
The Cruze range expands in the fall with an all-new hatchback model and the Cruze diesel returns in early 2017.
