The Chevrolet Cruze, General Motors' replacement for the aging Cobalt compact, will be built in plants around the world and sold in 60-plus countries. Our man Bob Gritzinger drove prototypes at GM's proving grounds in Milford, Mich., back in April, and now we've spent a day in some no-excuses production models.
Power comes from one of two sources: a 1.8-liter four producing 136 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque or a 1.4-liter turbocharged four making 138 hp and 148 lb-ft. Chevy says 0-to-60-mph times should be in the low-9.0-second range. A 1.8-liter, 128-hp, 123-lb-ft four will be offered later in a fuel-sipper model. The current versions can be had with a six-speed manual, and a six-speed automatic is also offered. Chevy figures the take rate on the turbo will be about 70 percent.
