Power Profile: Chevrolet Cruze
There are two versions of the Chevrolet Cruze for sale in 2016. The first is the old Cruze, now called the Cruze Limited, which sounds much fancier than it really is. The second is the new Cruze, a completely redesigned car, which arrived late enough in the year that it really could have been introduced as a 2017 model.
With the new Cruze, Chevrolet aims to improve fuel economy and driving dynamics while enlarging the car’s interior, upgrading its infotainment systems, and improving its driver-assistance and collision-avoidance technologies. Perhaps these changes can help the car to rank higher in the J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.SM In 2015, the Cruze ranked 14th among 19 entries in the Compact Car segment.
