Parksville, BC -- (SBWire) -- 03/12/2011 -- Members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada evaluated and tested all of the new vehicles in the running for the exclusive award and then narrowed the field down to three before announcing the winner. The 2011 Chevy Cruze beat out the Ford Fiesta and the Volkswagen Jetta TDI for this year’s prestigious title.
The 2011 Chevy Cruze isn’t an ordinary compact. Designed with one word in mind – ‘more’, the Cruze offers power and efficiency under the hood, a spacious interior, and plenty of innovative technologies to provide an unparalleled driving experience.
Available with a 138 horsepower 1.4-liter Turbocharged engine and a rack-mounted electric power steering system, drivers are sure to enjoy its precision handling and quickness. The leading Nanaimo Chevy dealer is also excited to present a vehicle that boasts best-in-class fuel efficiency. The 2011 Cruze averages 5-litres per 100 highway kilometers – that’s about one tank of gas for every 1,000-kilometers.
Cavernous is the only word to describe the Cruze’s interior. With more room than other comparable cars, the 2011 Cruze offers owners plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The Cruze also features a redesigned information console so drivers can easily see and touch every gadget necessary without sacrificing safety or convenience.
With available technology like Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, ultrasonic rear park assist, and a Pioneer premium audio system with 9-speakers and XM radio passengers won’t want to get out of the car. The leading Nanaimo Chevy dealer is sure shoppers will also love its Remote Vehicle Starter System, which allows owners to start the car from the comfort of their home.
The Chevrolet Cruze also sets itself apart from most other compacts in the category of safety. With 10 standard airbags, the 2011 Cruze has more airbags than the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic DX, Ford Focus S, or the Hyundai Elantra Blue.
In addition, standard features like StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four-wheel antilock brakes help drivers stay in control and on the road. If an accident were to occur, the Cruze is equipped with OnStar Automatic Crash Response standard for the first six months.
