2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel gets 46 mpg
Still, Chevrolet should be proud of its four-door. The car's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, bolted to a six-speed automatic transmission. Drivers will also enjoy an overboost function that can crank the engine to 280 lb-ft of torque for brief stints. This all means that the Cruze will be able to travel 700 miles on a single tank of fuel, while achieving a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Chevrolet Cruze Diesel 46 MPG Sets Highway Fuel Economy Benchmark
Best Highway Fuel Economy of Any Non-Hybrid Passenger Car in America
Can travel 700 highway miles on single tank
DETROIT – The new 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel, delivers an industry best EPA-estimated 46 MPG on the highway – better than any non-hybrid passenger car in America. It will be available in certain cities this spring and nationwide and in Canada in early fall.
Equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, the latest addition to the Cruze powertrain family has an estimated range of 700 highway miles on one tank of diesel fuel based on the EPA highway estimate and the vehicle's fuel tank capacity. That's about 10 hours of highway driving.
"We harnessed generations of diesel expertise to adapt our world-class global engine for the North American market," said Gary Altman, chief engineer, Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. "The Cruze Diesel is the best diesel passenger car out there. Chevrolet is redefining the meaning of great fuel economy with this car."
With a starting price of $25,695, including an $810 destination charge, the Chevrolet Cruze Diesel is a better value than a similarly equipped VW Jetta TDI automatic. Compared with Jetta, the Cruze Diesel offers standard equipment including the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, larger 17-inch alloy wheels, leather-appointed seating, a longer five-year 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and a two-year maintenance plan.
Cruze Diesel also beats its rivals in performance with a segment-leading estimated 148 horsepower (110 kW) and estimated 258 lb-ft of torque (350 Nm), and can go 0-60 in about 8.6 seconds. Its advanced 2.0L turbo-diesel engine has an overboost feature capable of increasing torque to an estimated 280 lb-ft (380 Nm) for short bursts of stronger acceleration when needed, such as entering freeway traffic.
Cruze Diesel is powered by the cleanest diesel passenger car engine produced by General Motors. The vehicle generates 90 percent less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and particulate emissions when compared to previous-generation diesels. Chevrolet has sold more than 2 million Cruze models globally since it was launched in mid-2010. More than 33,000 of those were diesel powered.
Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4.5 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature spirited performance, expressive design, and high quality.

Meet the 2014 Chevrolet SS. Available at George Chevrolet late 2013.
Chevy’s “SS” badge has been applied to more cars than Turtle Wax.
That “Super Sport” moniker has graced great rides like the ’63 Corvette Sting Ray, ’66 SS396 Chevelle and ’69 Camaro SS, to name a few, along with some odd birds, as well – the 2004 SSR hard-top convertible pickup, the 2006 Trailblazer SUV and the V6-powered, front-drive Impala of 2004.
For 2014, SS is back in an iteration that shows promise aplenty of joining the ranks of great SS Chevys, even though this new SS isn’t really a Chevy and isn’t really new.
It’s built in Australia in the classic rear-drive American muscle car tradition by GM’s Holden division, appearing on these shores in its first generation as the 2008/2009 Pontiac G8. Alas, after a mere 18 months, G8 – considered by many the last great Pontiac – was tossed onto the ash heap of history as part of GM’s bankruptcy unpleasantness and resulting euthanization of the “Excitement Division.”
Subsequently, this Holden platform, which also underpins Camaro in a shorter, 112.3-inch wheelbase version, returned stateside as the Caprice PPV (police patrol vehicle), riding a stretched 118.5-inch wheelbase.
Now, back on the old G8’s 114.8-inch underpinnings, this big, rear-drive, four-door performance sedan, sold Down Under as the Holden Commodore, returns to U.S. civilian hands in the form of the 2014 Chevy SS.
When it hits showrooms this fall, SS will feature a 6.2-liter, 415-hp V-8 borrowed from Corvette that cranks out 415 lb.-ft. of torque through a paddle-shift, six-speed automatic transmission.
With that tranny channeling power to the rear wheels, Chevy figures this new SS will greet 60 mph in about 5 seconds.
Bringing all that fury to a halt are Brembo brake calipers pinching front rotors the size of pizza platters – 14 inches up front, 12.8 in back.
It all rides a fully independent sport-tuned suspension – Mac struts up front, multilink architecture in back – and staggered Bridgestone Z-rated performance rubber: 19x8.5 wheels up front hugged by 245/40ZR19 tires; 19x9.0 wheels aft embraced by 275/35ZR19 tires.
Of course, this package, with its leather-swathed cabin, makes available all the expected gizmos, too, such as Chevy’s MyLink touch-screen navigation, Bose audio, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, rear camera and Automatic Parking Assist.
The first rear-drive performance sedan from Chevrolet in 17 years (hey, it’s about time!), SS will arrive in the fourth quarter of this year. No pricing yet, but word on the street suggests a number in the neighborhood of 40 grand.

Callaway’s 2014 Corvette Stingray Aerowagon concept gets tongues waggin’

Chevrolet never built the 1954 Corvette Nomad wagon that Harley Earl built for General Motors' Motorama traveling road show, but ever since a few hearty after-market designers have attempted to graft a taller hatch onto the Vette's rear flanks to form a proper two-door shooting brake (British for "sports car station wagon") — often with questionable results. Now long-time Corvette customizersCallaway Cars has announced it may produce an add-on kit for the 2014 Corvette Stingray that would create what it calls the Aerowagon.
Callaway says its modifications would use a custom carbon-fiber bodywork and glass to the Vette, with minimal impact on its performance or mileage. Total cost for making your Kentucky-built sports car into a Ferrari FF fighter: no more than $15,000, if there's enough interest. Which, should enough journalists win a few MegaMillions drawings over the next few months, there would be.
