2013 Chevrolet Cruze Goes Diesel

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Goes Diesel

It seems that the new 2013 Chevrolet Cruze will be available as an optional diesel engine for North America, with sales scheduled to begin in 2012. GM Inside News sources Lordstown, Ohio Assembly, where the Chevrolet Cruze is produced, said to have confirmed that it will begin construction of a model diesel by 2013. The Chevrolet Cruze is a popular car sold in over 60 countries around the world in gasoline and diesel and was released recently in North America. With Americans increasingly interested in energy efficiency and smaller companies car, the Cruze diesel could be a step in the right direction.

The engine, which can be used in North America is a modified version of GM's corporate 2.0-liter turbodiesel. And 'now available on models sold in Europe, Cruze, Cruze and Holden in Australia, among other markets.What can we expect in the U.S.? We know that in Australia, 2.0-liter common-rail turbo diesel engine is rated at 148 hp (110 kW) and a strong 236 foot-pounds (320 Nm) of torque.

Although diesel engines are more efficient and provide a number MPG better than petrol engines with similar power, they do not constitute a significant share of U.S. passenger vehicles.

Would you buy a diesel Cruze? What fuel would be delivered, and at what price sticker? (Be realistic: "60 mpg for $ 12,000" is not realistic.)

When it comes to the Pony Car Wars, rivals Chevy and Ford have always taken things seriously, with the Mustang Shelby GT500 currently wearing the heavyweight title belt with its 550 horsepower engine that rockets the car from zero to sixty in 3.7 seconds.

Rising to Ford’s challenge is the Camaro ZL1 that was unveiled earlier this year in Chicago with a preliminary 550 horsepower — equal to that of the GT500. However, being that the ZL1 is also expected to be the heavier car, it would seem that 550 horsepower may not be enough to outpace the lighter GT500. But according to a report from Camaro5, the ZL1 may produce much more than the initial 550 horsepower that was announced, which to us sounds like just what the doctor ordered. We will have to wait until the end of the year to find out for sure.

The Cruze Chevrolet 2011 is a compact sedan with performance, style, practicality and dependability in one taut and handsome package. It replaces the Chevy Cobalt in North America and the Daewoo-built Chevy Lacetti/Nubira in Europe. The new Cruze car has redefined value with a dynamic exterior and interior styling, plus a good list of standard features.

Form outside view, this new Chevys Cruze takes styling cues from the brand new Malibu, and guarantees to be a much sharper car than the current Cobalt. Chief designer Taewan Kim says that the new Cruze’s design is supposed to be “bold”, not evolutionary. We desired to take a giant step ahead, make strong design assertion for Chevrolet products across the world.

The new Cruze 2011 is a four-door sedan that comes in LS, LT, and LTZ trim levels. The LS has a 138-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. The LT and LTZ have a 140-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission is available. All Cruze models will get six-speed gearboxes – either manual or automatic. The turbo Cruze is supposed to score an impressive 40 mpg EPA highway rating.

The Equinox is crisper and sportier than its predecessor, with nice proportions and a look that blends in well with the rest of the Chevy lineup. Inside, the cabin has lots of dramatic shapes and a central control panel that comes strikingly close to those in the Cadillac SRX—with vents flanking the radio and climate controls. It's an appearance that's also filtered down to the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles, and we like the new direction.

Under the hood you'll find a choice of either a 182-horsepower inline-4 or a 264-hp V6. Both of these engines deliver respectable acceleration, and the four-cylinder is notable for its above-average fuel economy (even though we've found it doesn't quite meet its lofty EPA estimates). Another Equinox selling point is its upscale good looks; the cabin is attractive and expensive-looking and features interior materials quality that's finally competitive with other choices in this segment.

One more thing that is lauded about the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is the wide array of standard features. You can enjoy luxury amenities with a complementary one-year service with GM’s OnStar assistance. For the base model of Equinox, you can enjoy air conditioning, power windows and locks. It also has the keyless remote entry, bluetooth cellphone connectivity – which is very helpful i f you wish to talk on your cellphone without needing to bother about holding the cellphone. You can listen to the MP3 music using the USB iPod interface. Your kids may enjoy the dual screen rear seat DVD. Besides that it has rearview camera, navigation system. You may like to pay extra for the optional heated seats, and climate control.
