2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco achieves segment-leading fuel economy with an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 42 mpg (with manual transmission models) and city fuel economy of 28 mpg.
Cruze Eco's highway fuel economy beats non-hybrid segment competitors, including the Honda Civic and Ford Fiesta subcompact, and many hybrid models, such as the Ford Fusion Hybrid, Nissan Altima Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid.
"Chevrolet Cruze continues to redefine the compact segment, offering class-leading standard safety features, upscale amenities - as well as hybrid-like fuel economy without the price," said Chuck Russell, vehicle line director. "The Cruze Eco is in a league of its own and will challenge perceptions of the efficiency available in a more affordable non-hybrid."
Cruze Eco is powered by an Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged engine and a standard six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission is available, with EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 26 city and 37 highway.
The following charts show how it compares with primary competitors and popular hybrids.
