POLOKWANE – Chevrolet last week introduced the all-new, 2016 Cruze, a larger and lighter, more efficient and more sophisticated evolution of the brand’s best-selling global car.
Packed with new technologies such as available Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and new active safety features, as well as a more spacious interior and an athletic, aerodynamically optimised design, the 2016 Cruze elevates the compact car segment. It will be offered in more than 40 global markets and goes on sale first in North America in early 2016.
The new turbo engine and a leaner architecture that contributes up to a 113 kg overall weight reduction also contribute to the new Cruze offering stronger performance, with an expected 0-100 km/h acceleration of eight seconds.
Vehicle highlights include:
• Next-generation Chevrolet MyLink with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, including a standard seven-inch diagonal screen and available eight-inch diagonal screen (at launch, eight-inch screen only with Apple CarPlay).
• New 1.4 L turbo engine with direct injection and stop and start technology matched with a standard six-speed manual or available six-speed automatic transmission.
• Maximum highway range of 853 kilometres per tank.
• All-new, stronger and lighter body structure enhances agility, efficiency and safety, with approximately 113 kg lower curb weight.
• 2 700 mm wheelbase enhances roominess, contributing to greater rear-seat legroom and more rear knee room.
• Projector headlamps with light-emitting diode (LED) signature lighting and LED daytime running lamps on up-level models.
• More standard features than most competitors such as ten air bags, four-wheel disc brakes, rearview camera and available OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot.
• New available features including wireless phone charging, heated rear leather seats and heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
• Available advanced safety features include Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision Alert.
The next generation Chevrolet Cruze will be introduced to the South African market at a later stage.
Model range, specification, and pricing will be announced at time of launch.
