2011 Chevrolet Cruze - The Next Toyota Camry

By Ryann Clawson

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze promises to be General Motor's (GM's) crowning glory in the small sized car category. In road comparison tests against the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic, the Cruze performed admirably and out-classed these other vehicles with its aggressive styling. In fact, the interior has been compared to the quality and style of both the Accord and Maxima.
For those interested in purchasing and owning a purely American vehicle, the Cruze would not be it. The Chevrolet Cruze is stated as having a "global nature" to its design. The original architecture was engineered in Germany; however, the Daewoo Lacetti is a product of Daewoo, a Korean company, and that vehicle was transformed into what GM is now calling the Cruze. Nevertheless, no matter where it originated, the Cruze's sticker price, styling, and performance is sure to position this vehicle nicely against the Toyota Camry.
The vehicle boasts that it can seat five adults, but shoulder room in the rear row of seats may make the middle adult feel a little tight. The front seats feature 54.7 inches of shoulder room, 39 inches of headroom, and 42 inches of legroom. The rear seats have 52 inches of shoulder room, 37 inches of headroom, and 36.5 inches of legroom. The Cruze provides 15 cubic feet of cargo space, and can hold a maximum of 15 gallons of gasoline. Fortunately, the turbocharged 4-cylinder, 1.4-liter engine claims to produce 40 miles per gallon fuel efficiency. However, because the EPA has not finished with fuel efficiency testing, the 40 miles per gallon figure has not been qualified.
The Chevy Cruze is available in five trim styles; the LS priced at $18,175, the 1LT priced at $18,175, the 2LT priced at $20,675, the ECO priced at $18,175, and the LTZ priced at $21,975. All styles come equipped with a six-speed transmission. The LS and the ECO come standard with a manual transmission and the others come standard with an automatic. Depending on the trim style selected, the Cruze employs 16-inch steel wheels that can be upgraded to alloy or 17-inch alloy. The LTZ style uses 17-inch alloy wheels as standard and can be upgraded to 18-inch alloy.
In comparison to the Camry, the Cruze is much quieter. GM has strategically placed vibration dampening throughout the passenger compartment and, due to the turbocharged engine and six speed transmission, drivers and passenger will enjoy the lack of engine noise. Another reason the 2011 Cruze may replace the Camry is the price difference. Camry's sticker price is higher than that of the Cruze and the two provide nearly the same options. Lastly, because the Camry is closing in on the end its life cycle, it is unlikely that Toyota will invest large amounts of money into an old product line in order to make it competitive with the new line of vehicles being produced.
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a small vehicle with a grown-up style. From the luxurious interior to the zippy, yet fuel efficient, engine and transaxle, the Cruze is sure to win the hearts of the American public with style and grace.

Future Car - 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

By Matthew Keegan

General Motors (GM) has been absolutely transparent when it comes to new product reveals, choosing to show as much as they can about a future product even before it goes into production. This move on GM's part is meant to shore up consumer and shareholder confidence, offering proof that the automaker is heading in the right direction by building smaller, much more fuel efficient vehicles.

Introducing The Chevy Cruze

One of the cars that will influence GM for years to come is the Chevrolet Cruze (pronounced cruise) a compact car slightly larger than the current Chevy Cobalt. Originally, it appeared that GM would replace the Cobalt with the Cruze, but after the August 2008 press reveal in Lordstown, Ohio, management has indicated that the Cobalt may soldier on as a separate model.

Regardless of where GM stands with the Cobalt, the Cruze is the car that could make or break the automaker when it goes on sale in Europe beginning in Spring 2009 followed by its US debut one year later. Though the US model will probably have a slightly different powertrain offering than what the European market will see, GM says that the Cruze will still get at least 40 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a gasoline model, putting it in the diminutive Smart Fortwo's territory while delivering a bigger and safer car.

Excellent Engine, Transmission Choices Means 40+ MPG Highway

GM says that the Cruze will be available with 16-valve, 1.6-liter (112 hp) and 1.8-liter (140 hp) gasoline engines featuring variable valve timing (VVT) on both inlet and exhaust sides. This will give the car additional power as well as better fuel economy while producing lower emissions. The automaker's new 2.0-liter turbo diesel, developing 150 hp will add more power with even greater fuel thriftiness. A five-speed manual transmission will be standard, but an optional six-speed automatic transmission will round out the Cruze's offerings. The latter transmission choice is unusual in that it'll be the first time that a six-speed transmission is used in the compact car class.

Interior styling is still a bit of a mystery, one that GM plans to talk more about when the car officially makes its debut at the Paris Auto Show in September 2008. Seating for as many as five occupants is likely, with optimum capacity for four adults.

Will customers be attracted to the Cruze? That remains to be seen but with its arching roof-line and coupe-like proportions, the Cruze certainly has a sporty flair, something lacking in most cars of its size.

Look for the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze to appear in North American Chevy showrooms by Summer 2010.
