“I was very impressed after driving the new Chevrolet Cruze for the first time,” said Randi Payton, publisher of Decisive Media. “I immediately saw it as a contender for Urban Car of the Year and there was no doubt in my mind that our 15 judges would think so too.”
Well, it turns out that Payton was right: Those judges—all of them independent auto journalists—recently recognized the 2011 Cruze with just that honor, which will be presented during the prestigious 15th Annual Urban Wheel Awards in January during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, to the delight of Warrenton Chevrolet dealers.
“If you really want to see evidence of a turnaround at GM, look no farther than Cruze,” added Lyndon Conrad Bell, the editor in chief of Decisive Auto, who lauded the car for its “handsome styling, an attractive interior, competent powertrains, an enjoyable driving experience, exceptional practicality, and ready affordability.”
Plus, you can also add to that list “incredible fuel efficiency” thanks to the Cruze Eco. Meticulously engineered to provide the best EPA ratings in its class, the Cruze Eco can achieve a hybrid-like 42 mpg highway to go with an impressive mark of 28 mpg city, all while featuring an affordable MSRP of $18,895, nationwide and also at TN Chevrolet Dealers.
“We set out to redefine the compact segment with Cruze by offering Minneapolis Chevrolet Dealers customers more of the features they want for less money than comparably equipped competitive models,” said Margaret Brooks, Chevrolet small car marketing director. “The Cruze offers significantly more value than the competition—with more standard equipment, segment-leading safety features, segment-leading fuel economy and a fun-to-drive ride characteristic.”
And as evidenced by its Urban Car of the Year honors, there’s something else the Cruze now offers: A steadily growing list of important third-party awards.
