Cruze Eco, shown in Silver Ice Metallic.
TURBOCHARGED ADVANTAGES
The 1.4L ECOTEC Turbo engine combines a small displacement with
the enhanced turbocharged torque needed for added acceleration
and passing power, while also achieving outstanding fuel efciency.
The ECOTEC Turbo delivers its power with minimal lag and runs on
regular fuel. It also features torque and fuel-efciency optimizing
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and a variable displacement oil pump
that reduces the amount of torque required to pump the oil,
further increasing fuel efciency.
IT’S NOT ONLY CRUZE ECO THAT’S ECO-FRIENDLY
Cruze Eco is expected to produce Best-in-Class 5.0 L/100 km
highway and 7.1 L/100 km city fuel consumption ratings.* It also
features lightweight 17-in. forged polished alloy wheels, low
rolling-resistance tires and enhanced aerodynamics highlighted
by a class-exclusive** automatic air shutter system behind the
front grille. This represents a new way of thinking at Chevrolet.
Where nothing less than Best-in-Class is accepted.
Cruze’s eco-friendly credentials extend to a cartridge oil lter
that makes for easier lter disposal and recycling compared
with conventional steel canister-style oil lters.
But what awaits you on the open road behind the wheel of Cruze
is a different form of satisfaction. Cruze holds the road as well
as it holds your attention, with a showcase of advanced handling
technologies, including the StabiliTrak® electronic stability control
system, traction control and a Z-link design rear suspension.

Breakthrough thinking and innovative engineering were required
for Cruze to set its anticipated Best-in-Class fuel efciency
standard.* That starts with the 1.4L ECOTEC Turbo four-cylinder
engine that is standard on Cruze Eco, LT Turbo and LTZ Turbo
models. In other words the Turbo is standard on all but Cruze LS,
which features the fuel-efcient 136 horsepower 1.8L ECOTEC
dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine.

AUTOMATIC AIR
SHUTTER SYSTEM
The problem: at low speeds
airow through the grille is
required to cool the engine – but
at highway speeds reduced wind
drag is required to maximize fuel
efciency. The solution? Chevrolet
engineers designed an automatic
air shutter system housed just
behind the front grille. Its sensors
monitor wind and temperature,
then open or close the shutters
automatically, when appropriate.

WHEN WE DISCOVER SOMETHING
NEW OR INNOVATIVE THAT
ALLOWS US TO DO SOMETHING
BETTER THAN WE OR OUR
COMPETITION HAS DONE BEFORE.”
