CHEVROLET CRUZE ADDS INFOTAINMENT AND SAFETY TECHNOLOGY

The Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet’s best-selling passenger car around the world, provides

the amenities, quietness, safety features, infotainment and roominess expected of a

larger sedan, but with the efficiency and value of a compact car.

For 2013, Chevrolet adds infotainment and safety technologies that bring even more

value to Cruze.

They include the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, standard on 2LT, Eco and LTZ

models and available on 1LT. Two audio systems – including an AM/FM audio system

with GPS-enabled navigation and a seven-inch-diagonal color touch-screen, are also

new for 2013.

Cruze also adds an Enhanced Safety Package – available on LT, Eco and LTZ models –

that offers crash-avoidance technologies such as Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross-

Traffic Alert and rear park assist.

Cruze is available in LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ models, as well as a gas-sipping Eco model

that, when equipped with a manual transmission, achieves an EPA-estimated 42 mpg

highway, making it the most fuel-efficient, gasoline-powered non-hybrid car in America.

Cruze design

Cruze features Chevrolet’s global signature face – a two-tier grille with the gold bowtie

logo. An arching roofline connects a steeply raked windshield and fast-sloping rear

pillars that provide a sporty, coupe-like proportion.

Prominent headlamp housings wrap around the corners and sweep upward into the

fenders and hood. The short rear deck is typically found on sport coupes. Wheels are

planted at the corners with minimal front and rear overhangs, which make the car appear

longer.

Inside, the twin-cockpit motif is matched with high-quality interior materials and

exceptional assembly tolerances. Grained, soft-touch components and low-gloss trim

panels exude a level of quality uncommon in the segment.

The instrument panel features richly detailed instruments backlit with light-emitting diode

(LED) technology. The integrated center stack houses the infotainment display, climate

controls and radio controls, and blends harmoniously with the instrument panel.

The interior pillar and other moldings are color and grain-matched to the headliner, while

the seat inserts are color-matched to the instrument panel accent trim, giving the cabin

the detailed appearance of a larger, more upscale sedan.

New exterior colors include Cyber Gray Metallic, Champagne Silver Metallic and Atlantis

Blue Metallic.

Cruze standard and available features

All Cruze interiors include premium materials and unexpected standard equipment,

including air conditioning, vehicle anti-theft system, USB port, adjustable steering wheel

with audio controls, AM/FM stereo system with CD player, MP3 playback capability, six

speakers, auxiliary jack for personal playback devices, two power outlets, remote

keyless entry and a trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

painted center stack and instrument panel cluster accent rings, power windows

with express down on all windows, power door locks, carpeted front and rear

floor mats and Bluetooth for select phones

 Cruze 1LT adds cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob,

power driver express-up window and 16-inch alloy wheels. The available All-Star

Edition package includes a power sunroof and premium Pioneer nine-speaker

audio system. New for 2013, the 1LT Driver Convenience Package includes

driver six-way power seat adjuster with manual recliner, driver and front

passenger illuminated vanity mirrors, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror,

outside heated, power-adjustable mirrors and remote vehicle start on automatic-

transmission-equipped vehicles. A new, available Technology Package includes

Chevrolet MyLink and a rear vision camera.

 Cruze Eco adds 17-inch lightweight aluminum wheels, color-touch AM/FM

stereo, MP3 playback capability and seven-inch-diagonal color touch-screen

display. New for 2013, the Chevrolet MyLink system features Bluetooth

streaming audio for music and select phones; voice recognition for phone, music

and radio; Pandora and Stitcher smartphone compatibility; Gracenote (playlist

and album art); software updatable for radio software and Gracenote database.

An available Eco Driver Convenience Package includes driver six-way power

seat adjuster with manual recliner, driver and front passenger illuminated vanity

mirrors, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, rear vision camera and outside

heated, power-adjustable mirrors.

 Cruze 2LT adds Meridian leather-appointed front bucket seats, six-way power

driver seat and heated driver and front passenger seats. New for 2013, the

available Driver Convenience Package includes driver and front passenger

illuminated vanity mirrors; auto-dimming inside rearview mirror; rear vision

camera and outside heated, power-adjustable mirrors.

 Cruze LTZ adds 18-inch wheels, automatic climate control, rear vision camera,

auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, uplevel instrument panel with chrome trim

rings, driver and front passenger illuminated vanity mirrors, outside heated,

power-adjustable, body-color mirrors, front fog lamps, chrome door handles and

keyless entry/keyless start.

A sporty RS Appearance Package is available on LT and LTZ models. It includes

unique fascias, rocker moldings, rear spoiler and fog lamps. An uplevel instrument

cluster includes chrome accent rings in place of the standard silver finish, and opaque

cluster bezels that allow the cluster’s ice blue backlighting to shine through for a sporty

nighttime appearance. On the 1LT model, the Z-link rear suspension.

The Enhanced Safety Package is available on LT, Eco and LTZ models and includes

Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and rear park assist.

A power, sliding sunroof also is available on LT and LTZ Cruze models.

Chassis and suspension

The Cruze features a strong body structure and chassis system that enabled engineers

to more precisely tune the chassis for comfort and driving control. StabiliTrak electronic

stability control with traction control, rollover mitigation and anti-lock brakes are

standard.

Additional features include a MacPherson strut front suspension and, available on 1LT

and standard on 2LT and LTZ, a rear suspension with a technically advanced Z-link

design. It helps deliver a more balanced driving experience, as the rear suspension

better follows the lead of the front suspension.

Rack-mounted electric power steering is standard on all models. It helps with Cruze’s

excellent fuel economy because it removes the conventional power steering pump from

the engine’s driven accessories.

Cruze is equipped with a family of 16-, 17- and 18-inch wheels.

Efficient, proven powertrains

Cruze models sold in North America are equipped with one of two efficient four-cylinder

engines and a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. At 42 mpg

highway, the Cruze Eco with the manual transmission is the most fuel-efficient, gasoline-

powered/non-hybrid car in America.

Standard on LS models is the 138-horsepower (103 kW) Ecotec 1.8L four-cylinder with

continuously variable valve timing that optimizes performance and fuel economy across

the rpm band. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 25 mpg city and 36 mpg on the highway

with the manual transmission and 22 mpg city and 35 mpg highway with the automatic.

Standard on LT, LTZ and Eco models is an Ecotec 1.4L turbo. Its exhaust-driven

turbocharger helps the engine perform like a larger engine when needed, but retains the

efficiency of a small-displacement four-cylinder in most driving conditions.

Also rated at 138 horsepower (103kW) with 148 lb.-ft. of torque (200 Nm), the Ecotec

1.4L turbo enables a cruising range of more than 500 miles (800 km), meaning it can go

longer between fill-ups.

EPA fuel economy is 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway on LT and LTZ, and 28 mpg city

and 42 mpg highway on Eco when equipped with the manual transmission. With the

automatic transmission, Cruze Eco highway fuel economy increases to 39 mpg.

Backing the Cruze’s four-cylinder engines are six-speed manual and automatic

transmissions. Each contributes to Cruze’s excellent fuel economy.

Cruze is backed by GM’s five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty – the best

coverage in America.

Safety and crash-avoidance features

Cruze offers more standard safety features than any vehicle in its class, each

contributing to Chevrolet’s goal of protecting passengers before, during and after a

crash.

Safety begins with a strong, unitized body structure that incorporates high-strength steel

(HSS) in key areas to enhance strength and crash protection by helping to prevent

intrusion into passenger compartment. Underbody main rails extend from the front of the

structure all the way to the rear, further enhancing the body’s strength and stiffness. A

cross-structure beam behind the instrument panel supports the body in the event of a

side-impact crash.

The new, available Enhanced Safety Package includes crash-avoidance technologies

such as a rear park assist, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Cruze was the first in its segment to provide 10 standard air bags, including frontal driver

and passenger air bags, roof rail-mounted head curtain side air bags that help protect

the front and outboard rear seating positions; seat-mounted side-impact air bags (front

and rear); and front knee air bags. Other safety features include:

 Front passenger seat occupant sensing system and rollover sensing and

protection system

 Collapsible pedal assembly to help protect against lower-extremity injuries

 Three-point safety belts in all five seating positions, safety belt retractor

pretensioners and lap pretensioners in the driver and front-passenger positions,

and safety belt load limiters (with pretensioners) in the front safety belt retractors.

 LATCH child seat latching system in the rear seat

 Tire pressure monitoring system, daytime running lamps and automatic

headlamps.

OnStar details

is the global leading provider of connected safety, security and mobility solutions and

advanced information technology.
