The 2013 Chevy Cruze

            The 2013 Chevy Cruze is becoming the standard for fuel efficiency, comfort and power for the smaller class of cars out there today.  At Handy Chevrolet, we have a variety of different model Cruzes to choose from to suit anyone’s needs.  Approaching 40mpg highway, you won’t have to be filling up the tank once a week, more like once every two weeks.

            The engine in the Chevy Cruze is a 1.4 Liter I-4 with 16 valves and an intercooled turbocharger.  The Turbo 1.4L makes 138hp at 4900RPM and 148 ft-lbs of torque at 1850RPM.  You can also choose from a naturally aspirated I-4 that makes the same 138hp but at 6300RPM.  Torque is down slightly from the turbo 1.4L to 125 ft-lbs at 3800RPM.  Both the turbo and non-turbocharged are electronically fuel injected. Also being offered this year is the 2.0L turbocharged diesel I-4, which makes 151hp at 4000RPM and 264 ft-lbs of torque at 2600RPM.  Both of the non-diesel engines feature electronic fuel injection and the diesel is direct injected. 

            Interior packages come in the LS, 1LT, ECO, 2LT, and LTZ.  The LTZ is the most luxurious of the options, which feature options like leather seats, heated steering wheel, and a premium 9-speaker sound system.  The lower models are still features with 6-speakers as standard.  The LS, 1LT, ECO and 2LT Cruze models can also come with a manual 6-speed transmission if you want.


            What is the starting price for the Chevy Cruze?  $17,170 and the highest price for a new Cruze is in the low $30,000 range.  With the cheap price and the fuel savings you will get driving a Cruze to and from work, it is worth buying.
