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 CrossTraffic 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.

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.
