If you’ve been keeping up the recent developments at Chevy, it’s definitely already clear that the 2016 Chevy Cruze is getting some very positive reception from critics and customers alike lately. Even if you haven’t, that’s quite alright, since we’ve got the rundown on everything you need to know to get caught up on all of the advantages that a new Chevy car can bring to drivers looking for the best current options. After a successful debut, the reports continue to find the Cruze successfully stacking up against the competition in a range of categories. Now, the official numbers on one of the most important considerations in buying a new car these days have arrived to prove that the 2016 Chevy Cruze has got more than what it takes to meet the highest modern standards.

One of the most important considerations for buying a car these days is efficiency and environmental impact, a detail that affects not only our surroundings but serve as a considerate address of long-term financial economy as well. As it stands, official government reports are required to independently verify the fuel efficiency of new vehicles, providing a reliably impartial rating. As these reports show, the Cruze’s fuel efficiency rating has no problem stacking up to the best of what modern automotive technology has to offer.

Measuring up to longtime efficiency leaders like the Honda Civic, the 2016 Cruze proudly offers drivers a possible combined 35 mpg, thanks to the available option for a nimble 1.4-liter turbo inline four cylinder engine working in combination with the standard Cruze’s six-speed automatic. The other configurations don’t lose much steam, either, as the standard manual option and upgrade packages only lose a point or two in their own combined ratings. That means that the Cruze Premier and LT trims each offer detailed upgrade packages, without sacrificing the dedication to basic values that make Chevy an easy, customizable choice.

Beyond this now-essential aspect, the Cruze offers a very well-received array of accommodations, including an updated MyLink entertainment and information system capable of meeting the highest modern standards in terms of personal technology and connected functionality. Luxury comfort features, like heated seats, leather, and subtle lighting upgrades abound, and a host of additional automated safety features including rear sensors, blind spot monitoring, and forward collision alert, all thanks to the available Driver Confidence packages, are also available with the Cruze Premier. Of course, lots of styling add-ons complete the available details, making the 2016 Chevy Cruze a strong competitor in the realm of truly well-balanced ‘renaissance’ vehicles.

With plenty to offer no matter what your preferences and priorities may be, we think that the Cruze deserves every bit of the attention it’s getting lately.
