Dimmitt Chevrolet Previews The All-New 2016 Chevy Cruze

Dimmitt Chevrolet, your local Clearwater, Florida new and used car Chevy dealer, gives you a sneak peek at the stunning, all-new 2016 Chevy Cruze.

Dressed To Thrill

The 2016 Chevy Cruze gets noticed with fresh new exterior styling that's impressive from any angle. Looking like it costs thousands more, the Cruze wears an expressive, sculpted Euro-style body with fluid, contemporary lines that accentuate aerodynamic efficiency. According to Bengt Halvorson of TheCarConnection.com, the 2016 Cruze's styling "…takes advantage of wind-tunnel testing done for the Volt, yet inherits some of the chiseled, handsome look…that's been introduced in the larger Malibu." "It's lower, leaner, and sportier, as well as a significant three inches added to the overall length and an inch more wheelbase than its predecessor," adds Halvorson. "This translates to two inches of additional rear legroom, with the Cruze offering more rear knee room than the Ford Focus or Hyundai Elantra."

Surprisingly Well Appointed Interior

Whether heading uptown for a night out or down the highway for a weekend getaway, the new Cruze's upgraded and roomier interior gets you there in a style that doesn't scrimp on quality or creature comforts. Bengt Halvorson of TheCarConnection.com says, "Since the Cruze is a global model, selling as an upmarket sedan in some markets, it carries an ‘upscale ambience’ inside, with a dual cockpit look and more fine details."

The Cruze's interior also gets high marks for its more spacious interior. No less than Consumer Reports says, "... The new Cruze strikes us as a big step forward. One of the biggest updates comes in the rear seat, where passengers no longer need Japanese subway pushers to cram them inside. It’s one of the roomiest back seats in the class, with plenty of leg and foot room even for six-footers. In fact, the rear seats look like they have more legroom than Chevy’s next larger sedan, the Malibu…Some versions even pamper rear-seat occupants with their own seat heaters — a rare treat in a small car."

Get behind the three-spoke sports steering wheel of the new Chevy Cruze and take command of the road ahead. Chevy engineers paid special attention to all the details, ensuring that your daily drive is as effortless and comfortable as possible. You'd expect to pay more for the convenience of handy steering wheel-mounted controls that put an array of key functions at your fingertips. Two large sport analog gauges trimmed in chrome bracket an advanced driver information center that offers vital vehicle information at a glance.

Another surprising aspect of the new 2016 Chevy Cruze is its long list of available features that prove it's no ordinary compact sedan. Surround yourself in affordable luxury with available appointments such as a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, heated rear seats, supple leather seating surfaces, and deluxe materials.


"Dramatically Improved Multimedia Experience"

Cars.com says that the new 2016 Cruze's multimedia technology has "dramatically improved." One of the reasons for this dramatic improvement is that Chevy now offers compatibility with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® for unsurpassed access to music, apps, texts, maps, and more. (Note: Android Auto is currently unavailable on vehicles with the larger optional 8-inch touchscreen display.) Moreover, the 2016 Chevy Cruze comes equipped with Chevy's exclusive 4G LTE WI-FI connectivity, so you're always in tune and in touch no matter where you go. A full-color, 7-in. customizable touchscreen display controls Chevy's exclusive MyLink suite of "infotainment" functions, including audio, navigation, Internet & phone connectivity, and more.

Spirited Performance & Miserly Fuel Efficiency

In terms of performance and handling, the 2016 Cruze benefits from a 250-pound weight reduction. TheCarConnection.com's Halvorson notes that "The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that’s been offered in the lineup has been replaced by a new all-aluminum 1.4-liter engine that’s 44 pounds lighter than the cast-iron block engine it replaces. It gains direct injection and engine stop-start, and it makes 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque and is mated to a new six-speed automatic transmission—altogether delivering an estimated 40 mpg highway, and capable of accelerating to 60 mph in about eight seconds."

This balance of efficiency and power give the 2016 Chevy Cruze spirited performance and sporty handling that make the daily drive, long commute, or weekend road trip and unexpected pleasure. As Alexander Stoklosa of Car & Driver notes, "Reduced mass enhances handling and agility, which…also benefit from the new suspension tuning…"

Forward-Thinking Safety

The Cruze also takes safety and security seriously. The Cruze comes well equipped with an array of advanced and forward-thinking safety features. Bengt Halvorson states, "On the safety front, the current Chevrolet Cruze has been a standout, with some of the best crash-test ratings in its class. GM claims that the new body structure is stronger yet, and it’s boasting that the Cruze will offer more standard safety technologies than any other model in its class—including ten standard airbags. Side Blind Zone Alert, Front Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert will all be available." Add a standard rear backup camera to this impressive list and it's clear to see why the Cruze achieves outstanding safety scores.

The all-new redesigned 2016 Chevy Cruze demonstrates Chevy's second-to-none leadership in building a quality compact four-door sedan. As Car & Driver's Stoklosa says, "The 2016 Cruze does everything expected of a new-generation car—gain power, gain efficiency, gain features—but it does so while also reducing complexity and, ostensibly, weight. …wherever it’s driven, the newest iteration will seemingly fly the flag of smart engineering. We look forward to sliding behind the wheel on American soil soon."

The new 2016 Chevy Cruze is expected to arrive at Dimmitt Chevrolet sometime early next year.
