Chevrolet Cruze - 2011 Canadian Car of the Year

Hits: 297

CHEVROLET CRUZE WINS THE 2011 CANADIAN CAR OF THE YEAR

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze has won the coveted Canadian Car of the Year award, at the Canadian International Auto Show, as voted on by the AJAC journalists.

The Cruze was up against a tough list of competitors, but with its long list of standard features, top safety rating and its incredible performance and handling, it comes as no surprise to GM Canada, or most of the AJAC journalists.

"The Chevrolet Cruze is a vehicle that has done quite well overseas. In Europe and Asia, it's a best-seller, so I don't think it's a big shock that it won this award." - Globe and Mail Auto columnist Petrina Gentile

"The Cruze was our opportunity to say for the first time in a long time that we're going to create the best car that serves our customers best," "We want to show people we're back by creating the world's best cars, not just the world's best trucks." - GM Canada President and Managing Director, Kevin Williams

2011 Cruze - At Lakewood October 25, 2010

Hits: 413

 The 2011 Cruze will arrive at Lakewood on October 25, 2010. We expect to have 10 units on hand at that point in time. If you are interested in getting one of the first Cruzes in Edmonton stop by Lakewood for a visit. There are a lot of good reasons to consider a Chevrolet Cruze:

Global Success:

Cruze is having sales success in over 60 countries around the world. Globally, more than 250,000 Cruzes have been sold to date.
Cruze Offers Segment-Leading Fuel ConsumptionRatings
With 138 horsepower, the 1.4L Turbo is like having two engines in one - the fuel efficiency of a small displacement engine and the performance of a larger engine.
Based on preliminary GM Canada testing, Cruze's high efficiency Eco model is anticipated to achieve segment-best highway fuel consumption - as low as 5.0 L/100km.
With the 1.8L Ecotec and 1.4L Ecotec Turbo engines, Cruze is anticipated to achieve a driving range up to 1,000 highway kilometres (620 miles) based on preliminary GM Canada testing.

Cruze Is Designed for Optimum Safety:

Cruze will offer more standard safety features than any other compact car. Features include 10 standard air bags, ABS, StabiliTrak® with traction control and rollover sensing system. We expect Cruze to build on the top crash safety performance ratings already received in other parts of the globe.

Cruze is Engineered to the Highest Quality and Durability Standards:

Cruze engineers have logged more than 6.5 million kilometres of customer durability testing across all major continents in the harshest geographical and climate conditions.
The quality story can be demonstrated in many ways, from our meticulous execution and craftsmanship to the use of premium materials and tight gap tolerances.

Cruze Brings Midsize Car Presence to the Compact Car Class:

The all-new Cruze offers midsize car roominess, including more interior room and cargo capacity than Civic and Corolla. It also offers amenities more commonly found on upscale vehicles - available features such as a Pioneer® 9-speaker audio system, navigation system and 18-inch aluminum wheels.
