Quicker, smarter

The all-new 2011 Cruze 1.6A LS sets a new global standard for Chevrolet. No where is this more apparent than in the area of value and design.

A result of an orchestrated effort by a select team of designers, engineers and manufacturing talents from all over the world, the new Cruze injects an exceptional degree of design and refinements in the high volume sector – setting a new benchmark in the process.

With a top scoring 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating*, and WTCC titles under its belt, the Cruze is wasting no time to establish itself as a top class world player.

With the LS, this premium built mid-size sedan is now 14% quicker, offers an impressive 7.4 l/100km combined fuel efficiency, and comes with the integrated NAVTRAK – a multi-function, touch-screen voice guided GPS navigation system.

The Cruze Design: A revolutionary goal

SPLIT-DESIGN TAIL LAMPS: Premium split-design tail lamps are integrated into the rear corners and deck lid.

AUTO HEAD LIGHTS: Larger and dynamically shaped headlamps with dual bezel design and Auto On/Off feature.

WHEEL-OUT, BODY-IN: A wheel-out, body-in posture strikes a dynamic and sleek statement.

FOG LIGHTS: The fog lights are encased in a sporty vented panel to complement the dynamic styling of the Cruze.

DESIGNER DOOR HANDLES: Door handles on the Cruze are designed to allow design customization as illustrated in the chrome option.

ALL-NEW CHEVY: Even the iconic bow-tie gets a stylized new look and is embellished with great detailing.

A treat for the senses

Chevrolet interior designers paid close attention to creating an environment that was harmonious with the exterior. The result is a distinct, confident and upscale impression – the hallmark dual cockpit design, an integrated NAVTRAK multi-function GPS navigation and a full host of colour and trim offerings ensure a flowing and uniquely inviting treat for the senses.

Setting new standards in safety

*The Chevrolet Cruze is the first passenger car to receive maximum scores in both frontal offset collision and side impact crash against a moving deformable barrier tests since EuroNCAP began providing crash test ratings in 1997.

The Cruze incorporates a host of structural enhancements and a full range of active and passive safety systems – all designed to place it among the safest vehicles in its class. In fact, it has earned, with flying colours, the top 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating and has also made Euro NCAP history by scoring top marks in two collision tests.

	STRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURE A unibody of high-strength steel incorporates full-length frame rails and a safety cage into a single, welded unit. Body Frame Integral (BFI) architecture is stiffer than any other in the global compact car segment. An extremely strong structure and stiff body with efficient and effective load paths provide Cruze maximum protection in the event of a collision from virtually any direction.
	SUSPENSION MacPherson strut-type front suspension system with damping and spring rates that are tuned to ensure an optimal balance of comfort and handling agility. Hydraulic ride bushings (found more commonly on luxury vehicles) that help result in a higher degree of ride isolation and a quieter performance.
	COMPLEX NERVE SYSTEM Rollover Sensing uses sensors to proactively predict vehicle “tip up” on a flat road surface, and applies brake force to the outside front and rear wheels in order to reduce lateral force in the vehicle. Vehicle Stability Enhancement System+ with Traction Control (VSES) works to automatically correct oversteer and understeer, keeping Cruze traveling in the desired direction. Collapsible pedal assembly reduces the chance of lower extremity injuries to the driver in the event of a front collision. 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
	INTELLIGENT AIRBAGS Standard driver and front-seat passenger air bags incorporate the latest technology to trigger low-powered or high-powered bag deployment depending on crash severity.
	SAFETY COMES AS A STANDARD From its Rain Sensor wiper system to the rear shelf-mounted Center High-Mount Stop Light (CHMSL) that incorporates 12 light-emitting diodes (LED), the Cruze offers many safety features as standard.

Competition is in our genes

The WTCC features cars from around the world that are close to regular production specification and the championship’s tag-line, ‘real cars, real racing’, encapsulates both the spirit of the WTCC and Chevrolet’s approach to competition.

It is one of only three official FIA-sanctioned world championships, alongside Formula One and the World Rally Championship.

Chevrolet has recently completed its fifth year in the WTCC and the Cruze is its first contender having been designed from the outset with a c ompetition application in mind.

The Cruze race car cuts a distinctive presence in the 2009 WTCC races and its debut has been remarkable – winning many races and picking up 4 titles to add to the 12 that Chevrolet has won in previous years.
