2016 Chevrolet Cruze offers 42 mpg on the highway

2016 Chevrolet Cruze

Offering EPA-estimated highway mileage of 42 mpg, the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is unsurpassed in its segment for fuel highway economy.

The Cruze’s EPA-estimated 42-mpg highway rating for L, LS and LT models rivals its competition. It tops competitors such as the Focus with a 4-cylinder (40 mpg highway), Nissan Sentra FE (40 mpg highway), Mazda3 (41 mpg highway), Hyundai Elantra (37 mpg highway) and Volkswagen Jetta (40 mpg highway - non-hybrid).

The Cruze’s efficiency is rooted in a new, direct-injected 1.4L Ecotec turbo and a leaner architecture, which contributes to a nearly 113 kg weight reduction on L, LS and LT trims over previous models. Stop/start technology bolsters efficiency in stop-and-go traffic, helping the Cruze offer an EPA-estimated 30 mpg in city driving - a 7 percent increase over previous models.

The Chevrolet Cruze range expands in the fall with an all-new hatchback model and the Cruze diesel returns in early 2017.
