2014 Chevrolet Cruze





            Parkway Chevrolet has put some extra emphasis on the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. With expressive styling, outstanding fuel efficiency and standout safety technology, Chevrolet Cruze is redefining the compact sedan. The ingenious Cruze Eco offers 42 MPG highway. The all-new Cruze Turbo Diesel offers the best highway MPG of any gas-only or diesel engine in America. And Cruze was the first car in its class with standard air bags. Cruze—its way beyond the everyday drive. Cruze has you captivated with its confident stance and pleasing proportions. Centered by the strong, attention-grabbing grille, its sweptback headlamps lead the eye across sculpted fenders, around the sides and back again. And don’t forget that those curves, lines and angles do more than just turn heads. They are designed to improve aerodynamics, which optimizes fuel efficiency and helps you get the most out of every gallon, which makes a huge difference in rush hour traffic on Sam Houston Toll-Way. The RS Appearance Package, available for LT and LTZ, includes unique front and rear fascias, rocker moldings, and a rear spoiler, giving your Cruze the look to match the feeling behind the wheel. Even the fog lamps offer a custom touch, with RS-exclusive chrome highlights.
            It’s called a compact but don’t let that fool you. The spacious Cruze interior not only offers more passenger room, but it also has more cargo volume with15.4 cubic feet in total. The Cruze is smart about how to use all that space, with 60/40 split-folding rear seats so you can find room for those larger items. Refinements such as soft touch interiors, rich colors and available heated leather appointed front seats give Cruze a premium feel. And you’ll enjoy a quiet drive with a triple-sealed laminated windshield, one of 30 acoustical treatments designed to help keep outside noise outside.
            These days it’s all about mileage, and Cruze has plenty to spare. But you don’t have to sacrifice power just to save a buck. Cruze takes you farther for less. The available 6-speed automatic transmission offers up to an EPA-estimated 38 MPG highway. Cruze Eco and the all-new Cruze Turbo Diesel take efficiency even further. For those who don’t like to hesitate, the available ECOTEC® 1.4L turbocharged engine delivers a remarkable 148 lb.-ft. of torque and a gutsy 138 horsepower.  While driving on the Houston highways, the turbocharger increases engine power, allowing for a more robust, immediate driving experience. Premium design elements include dual overhead camshafts and continuously Variable Valve Timing. With the available 6-speed automatic you’ll feel all the power Cruze has to offer. Driver Shift Control allows you to switch from automatic to manual operation. Just move the gearshift into Shift Control mode and a quick tap is all that’s required for smooth, crisp shifts. With rack-mounted Electric Power Steering and an available race-proven Z-link rear suspension, along with other fuel-maximizing choices like Eco and Diesel, Cruze is a driving experience that just might surprise you.
            The ingenious design of Cruze Eco contributes to outstanding fuel economy.
By incorporating smooth underbody panels, a rear spoiler and a lower front grille air shutter that closes at high speeds, air resistance decreases so there’s nothing standing between you and your destination. We’ve also chosen lighter-weight wheels and ultra-low rolling resistance tires, and lowered the ride height for enhanced aerodynamics. These innovative features help Cruze Eco offer 42 MPG highway.
            Parkway Chevrolet stands by the Cruze, because it’s got the accolades to prove it. The 2013 Cruze was an IIHS 2013 Top Safety Pick and the 2014 Cruze received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).Simply put, it’s our “more” approach to safety. All Cruze models feature frontal and knee air bags for driver and front passenger, head-curtain side-impact air bags for front and rear outboard passengers and front and rear seat-mounted side-impact air bags to further help protect outboard passengers. The StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System helps assist you with directional control in difficult driving conditions. Sensors continually monitor the path being steered and the direction in which the vehicle is actually turning. If there is a difference, the system selectively applies brake pressure to the appropriate wheel to help move the vehicle back to the path being steered.
-A. SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT: This available feature uses radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle to help “look” for other vehicles in the blind zone areas and alerts you to their presence. It’s like having an extra pair of eyes.
-B.REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT This available system alerts you to crossing traffic behind your Cruze when traveling in reverse, such as backing out of a parking spot—including angled parking. Audible alerts, as well as visual alerts on the rear vision camera screen, are triggered if approaching vehicles are detected.
-C.ONSTAR Standard for six months with the Directions & Connections Plan, OnStar features Automatic Crash Response. In many collisions, built-in vehicle sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor who is immediately connected into your vehicle to see if you need help.

            The 2014 Chevy Cruze is blurring the lines between sedan and compact with a fantastic reputation and ability to save owners money. Parkway Chevrolet could not be happier with the vehicle that has become so popular with many customers.
