New 2012 Chevy Cruze in Tulsa at Momentum Chevrolet of Tulsa
The Cruze debuted for the 2011 model year as an all-new model and has gone on to be a success story for Chevrolet. The reasons are plentiful, but the bottom line is that the Cruze is simply a quality car. It looks sharp inside and out. Attention to detail is apparent the first time you close the door and notice it shuts with a solid "thunk." The feature content is up to date with options such as hard-drive-based navigation and keyless ignition/entry.
On the move, the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze provides a quiet ride inside the cabin and capable handling. Under the hood you have a choice of two engines. Base LS models have a 136-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder, but most Cruzes actually come with a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine. Horsepower is about the same from this smaller engine (138 hp), but torque rises significantly to give the Cruze a boost in around-town acceleration. The turbo also sees duty in the Cruze Eco variant. Thanks to various modifications, the Eco achieves an impressive 42 mpg highway EPA rating.
The 2012 Chevrolet Cruze is a small sedan that comes in four main trim levels: LS, Eco, LT and LTZ.
The Cruze isn't all about styling and horsepower, its chock full of safety features as well. All 2012 Chevrolet Cruze models come with stability control, antilock brakes, full-length side curtain airbags, front knee airbags and front and rear side impact airbags as standard. All trims except the 2LT and LTZ have a front-disc/rear-drum brake setup; those models are upgraded to four-wheel disc brakes.
