Here at Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine we are very excited to be getting the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. People have been and are still calling daily just waiting for it to arrive so they can take it for a test drive. Do you know how unique the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is? Well, just for one it has the most airbags for a small car. It also has a very smooth quiet drive as you witnessed in a previous post of mine. Check out this safety video from Chevrolet on the 2011 Cruze. When you are ready to take this new car for a spin make sure you head on over to your local Grapevine Chevy dealer. The Cruze is waiting for you to drive it!
The all new 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is on its way to your local Texas Chevy dealer. I wanted to give you a first look at how it drives, handles and let you know a little bit of what some of the critics are saying. The Chevrolet Cruze is going to be the replacement for the Chevrolet Cobalt and even though it is a smaller car, it has a big bite. Thanks to Consumer Reports for sharing their thoughts with us on the brand new Chevrolet Cruze. I don’t think you will be disappointed by any means of the word. Check out this story, watch the video and then weigh in with your thoughts on the brand new Chevy!
Chevrolet replaces the mediocre Cobalt this September with an all-new sedan, the Cruze. Already on sale in many markets around the globe, the Cruze will give the division a much more competitive small car in the States than in the past. We borrowed one recently to give our auto engineers a chance to preview this significant new model and share their impressions in this First Look video.
The Cruze will be offered with two engines: a base 1.8-liter, four-cylinder and an up-level 1.4-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that has the potential to optimize performance and fuel economy. Both the automatic and manual transmissions offered are six-speed units. Much of the marketing attention will be on the 1.4-liter turbo, with its promised 40 mpg on the highway.
However, the bigger story is that all Cruzes, regardless of trim level or engine, are a marked improvement over the outgoing rental-ready Cobalt. Most of GM’s recent small cars have been underwhelming, but in our time with the Cruze, we found it to feel substantial and much more refined. We think the car handles well, with responsive steering and a well-controlled ride. Noise levels are relatively low, and the cabin feels roomy for the class. Price concerns aside, the Cruze has much promise, and we are looking forward to purchasing a production example and running it through our exhaustive test regimen when it goes on sale.
Check out this video that Chevrolet put together showcasing the all new 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. It is one of the coolest videos I have seen in a while coming out of GM. This video features audio test footage captured in the soundproof anechoic chamber during the development of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. Not only is this entertaining but it clearly shows why the Chevrolet Cruze is one car you should be excited about! The music is simply beautiful… Ha!
