The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze has hit the market, Chevrolet’s entry into the small car segment. The 2011 Cruze will be available in two engine variants, 1.8L (4 cylinder) and 1.4L (turbocharged inline four with variable valve timing). It also boasts of a cool interior upgrade which should be modern and attractive to people looking at interior car make as well.
A bunch of goodies to go with the 2011 Cruze include Bluetooth connectivity, leather seats, USB port for audio devices, satellite navigation and 10 standard airbags. That is quite a batch of features considering this compact car may find it hard to appeal to the mass car market. The Cruze will be replacing the Cobalt.
