2011 Starting Price $16,995 Chevrolet Cruze-Eco
Some modifications had to be made to the car to hit that MPG goal. A lower front grille air shutter that closes at higher speeds was used. It improves aerodynamics and opens at lower speeds to optimize engine cooling airflow. The upper grille has more closeouts to also improve aerodynamics. There is a lower front air dam extension along with extensive use of underbody panels and a rear spoiler. These all enhance the car's aerodynamics. The ride height of the Cruze was lowered to also improve the car's aerodynamics to help reach a higher mileage per gallon. The car also features 17 inch lightweight aluminum wheels to lessen the car's overall weight. It also has ultra low rolling resistance Goodyear tires.

Starting at $16,995, GM is set to pit the Cruze against their competitors' offerings such as the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Ford Focus. While GM has a long way to go in terms of reestablishing dominance in this market, the Cruze most certainly appears to position itself as a best-in-class vehicle.
