2011 Chevrolet Cruze Offers Fuel Efficiency Without Hybrid Price Tag

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruz will offer buyers a car with mid-size presence, but compact car fuel-efficiency:

At the New York Auto Show, Chevrolet reveals the compact 2011 Cruze Eco. This high-efficiency model is powered by a 1.4L Ecotec turbocharged engine with variable valve timing that achieves an estimated 40 mpg on the highway when combined with a six-speed manual transmission. Cruze Eco is expected to deliver the best fuel economy in the compact segment, while offering midsize car presence.

“The Cruze Eco delivers hybrid-like efficiency without the price tag,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president Chevrolet marketing. “Along with the Volt electric vehicle, it demonstrates how Chevrolet is working to bring new products to market that range from gas-friendly to gas-free.”

Chevrolet also shows an optional RS sport appearance package for the Cruze LT and LTZ trim levels.

Update on Chevrolet Volt Battery Testing

The battery for the upcoming Chevrolet Volt has undergone some rigorous testing with impressive results:

Recent calibration drives of pre-production Chevrolet Volt electric vehicles have achieved up to 39.9 miles of emission-free, electric-only driving range, chief engineer Andrew Farah said Monday during a program update for news media.

The Volt, which can travel up to 300 miles beyond its pure electric range because of a small on board gasoline engine, recently completed a round of cold weather testing in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada, and will undergo additional hot weather testing in Yuma, AZ, in June and July.

The Volt remains on schedule for start of regular production in the fourth quarter. Farah, chief engineer for the Volt and the Opel Ampera, said more than 500,000 test miles have already been put on the pre-production Volt vehicles.

Chevrolet and Youth Baseball: Working Together for Communities

Chevrolet has long been a supporter of youth baseball in communities across the country, and that strong partnership continues this year.  In fact, it has been expanded:

Chevrolet has expanded its support of youth baseball players in communities across the country through the Chevy Youth Baseball program. Since its beginning in Atlanta in 2006, Chevy Youth Baseball has benefitted more than one million youth baseball players and their families.

Participating youth baseball leagues receive equipment and monetary donations, unique Major League Baseball experiences including tickets to games and invitations to exclusive instructional clinics, as well as fundraising opportunities compliments of Chevy and its dealers.

And this year, Chevrolet is partnering with Major League Baseball® , MLB Advanced Media and The Scotts Company (the Official Lawn Care Company of MLB) to refurbish five youth baseball fields in the U.S. through ‘Building Diamonds and Dreams.’ At www.chevybaseball.com fans of their local youth baseball team can enter their ZIP code for a chance to win the field makeover. An ongoing tally of the most active ZIP codes will be shown on the web site. Five winners will be drawn from the ZIP codes submitted. Nominating a ZIP code numerous times could increase the chance of being selected.

Each consumer who nominates a ZIP code on-line gives kids a chance to win a ballpark makeover, and also will be entered for a chance to win their choice of a new Chevy Malibu, Traverse, Equinox or Silverado.

The program will run from MLB Opening Day (April 5) and continue through the MLB All-Star Game®, ending July 16, 2010.
