Chevrolet claims the Cruze has ‘midsize presence’ in the solid section. In fact, it’s a nice enough looking sedan, and even the base model has a decent level of standard equipment. But the 2011 Chevy Cruze has just one year to make a big bang, and then the 2012 Ford Focus, its only real domestic opponent will be launched.
Initially available only as a front-wheel-drive sedan, the Cruze will be offered in base, LS, LT, and LTZ trims. Power will be provided by a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder and an all-new turbocharged 1.4-liter Inline-4 engine, both connected to either a 6-speed manual or automatic.
