2012 Chevrolet Cruze Review
Overview
The 2012 Chevrolet Cruze challenges conventional compact wisdom with one simple word: more. More fuel saving technology including up to 42 highway miles per gallon! The available 1.4 liter turbocharged engine is the ideal size — small yet powerful — designed for efficiency without compromising performance. It delivers 138 horsepower and accelerates with authority with help from a standard six-speed transmission. Cruze takes on tight corners with rack-mounted electric power steering and a race-proven Z-link rear suspension. The cavernous interior of Cruze not only has more room than it’s competitors but it also has more cargo space too. Cruze has so much standard and available technology designers had to take a fresh approach to console design. The result is ergonomic and sharp-looking to run features like Navigation Ultrasonic Rear park assist and more. Cruze comes with 10 standard air bags— to help protect heads chests and knees. It comes with a high-strength steel safety cage and roof crush resistance that outperforms the requirements. Best of all every Cruze comes protected and connected by OnStar. The 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. More for you.
