2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited 1LT Auto

Packed with new technologies such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and new active safety features, as well as a more spacious interior and an athletic, aerodynamically optimized design, the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze elevates the compact car segment - from San Francisco to Shanghai and from Boston to Buenos Aires. It's offered in more than 40 global markets when it goes on sale in early 2016.

A new 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with direct injection and 153 horsepower helps enable an estimated 40 mpg on the highway with the available six-speed automatic transmission. Stop/start technology helps enhance the Cruze's efficiency in stop-and-go driving.

The new turbo engine and a leaner architecture reduces up to 250 pounds of weight, as well as contribute to the new Cruze's stronger performance, with an expected 0-60-mph acceleration of 8 seconds.

The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze's design balances the designers' inspiration and the efficiency-optimizing input of wind tunnel testing - leveraging the aero experience of vehicles including the Volt. The result is one of the sleekest-looking cars in the class, with a 0.29 coefficient of drag - an attribute contributing directly to an estimated 40 mpg on the highway.

The sleek profile is complemented by detailed, layered line work in the hood and body-side panels, contributing to an overall impression of muscularity - with an athletic stance enhanced by the longer wheelbase.
