Chevy Cruze is expected to delivery fuel economy in the 40mpg range – a number fairly unrivaled in the segment with the exception of some hybrid models. The Cruze will also offer a handful of features like their RS package, allowing you to make your 2011 Cruze sportier looking and if you want more luxury, items like heated leather seats and rear park assist are straight out of the higher end GM models.
