It
already has a reputation for
providing class-leading levels
of style, safety and luxury at
an affordable price, and now
buyers of Chevrolet’s
top-of-the-range Cruze 2.0 VCDi
LT can take advantage of an
automatic gearbox to further add
to the car’s upmarket appeal.
The six-speed transmission can
operate in full auto mode,
saving drivers the legwork in
heavy traffic, yet at the same
time offers a manual shift
function, offering all of the
performance and flexibility of a
manual gearbox when needed.
Powered by a 150PS 2.0-litre
common rail diesel engine, the
new model accelerates from
0-62mph in an impressive 9.9
seconds, on to a top speed of
124mph where conditions allow.
Yet at the same time, it retains
Chevrolet’s core value of low
running costs – offering up to
51.4mpg on the extra urban
cycle. Combined MPG is 42.2mpg,
with CO2 emissions of 177g/km.
With a five-star Euro NCAP crash
test rating, the only car ever
to achieve maximum points in
offset frontal and side-impact
tests, the Cruze is also one of
the safest cars on the road
making it the perfect choice for
family motorists or high mileage
fleet drivers. Standard
Electronic Stability Control and
traction control add to its
driver appeal.
It
also comes with a huge list of
standard equipment, rarely found
in a car at this price level.
Luxury features include full
climate control, reverse parking
sensors, cruise control, front
fog lamps, 17-inch alloy wheels,
rain sensitive wipers, automatic
headlights, front and rear
electric windows, follow-me-home
headlights, a six-CD autochanger
and MP3 socket, and a Thatcham
category 1 alarm system with
remote locking.
The Cruze 2.0VCDi LT automatic
costs £17,145 on-the-road. |
