Metroland Media Carguide Magazine The official fuel consumption numbers for the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco are in and they deliver on Chevrolets best-in-class prom- ise, with a Natural Resources of Canada (NRCan) highway fuel con- sumption rating of 4.6 L/100km for manual transmission models. In fact, Cruze Ecos highway fuel efficiency beats non-hybrid & diesel competitors and matches the 2011 Honda Insight hybrid based on NRCan results. It also wins out over the smaller 2011 Ford Fiesta and provides 17 per cent greater highway fuel effi- ciency than the 2011 Honda Civic. The Cruze Eco carries an MSRP of $19,495 and can be ordered today at Chevrolet dealers across Canada. To achieve its segment-leading highway fuel efficiency, Cruzes engi- neers focused on aerodynamic per- formance, mass optimization and powertrain enhancements. The refinements in each area paid big dividends towards the cars overall efficiency, while providing engineers with valuable information to help enhance the efficiency of future. Many were developed and refined in more than 500 hours of wind tunnel testing of the Chevy Volt, which shares a core architec- ture with the Cruze. Examples include the upper grille, which has more closeouts to improve aerodynamics, a lower front air dam extension, a rear spoiler, a lowered ride height and underbody panels that smooth air- flow beneath the car. The Eco model also features an all-new technology in the compact segment: a lower front grille air shutter that closes at higher speeds to reduce aerodynamic drag and opens at lower speeds to opti- mize engine-cooling airflow. Another contributor to reduced drag is the use of ultra-low rolling resistance 17-inch Goodyear tires (used with lightweight wheels), which are also used on the Volt. 24 Hr.

BRAMMMMM! Thanks to traction control, sta- bility control and all the other safe- ty system that are now mandated, there was no screeching of tires or rear end squat as all 470 lb/ft of torque found their way to the pave- ment but oh what a marvelous sound. First, the sound went way up to that bellow you only get from a V8. Next, the 392 explodes off a stand- ing start like a howitzer shell. But, and this is a big but, steer- ing inputs were not overpowered despite what was happening at the rear wheels. Thanks to the new and improved suspension, rounding a posted 50 mph curve was childs play and could have been taken at 100 mph without lifting my foot had I tried. There was a chance to take the 392 out on the track at Infineon, but experience has taught me this proves nothing as driving like that on the street could, and should, result in instant license suspen- sion. Yet the 392 is another example of how todays engineering allows anyone to drive this car including Grandma motoring over to bingo. And the other thing is you can have performance that will humble a BMW and at half the price. Lastly, because this car is built in Brampton, Ont., by the good men and woman of the CAW, let me tell you the way this car was assem- bled and turned out is a credit to them and this country. Summing up, the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is one of the best bangs for the buck on the mar- ket. New Chevrolet Cruze Eco achieves best-in-class highway fuel efficiency The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze has delivered on their best-in-class promise, achieving a high fuel consumption rating 4.6 L/100 km.
