The Chevrolet Cruze has been on sale in other parts of the world for over a year now, but the eventual Cobalt replacement will finally make its United States debut at December’s Los Angeles Auto Show.
The U.S.-spec Chevrolet Cruze will officially take to the LA stage on December 2nd. Although the EPA has yet to release its official ratings for the 2011 Cruze, General Motors says the sedan will return an impressive 40mpg on the highway.
“With expected highway fuel economy up to 40 miles per gallon, Cruze will be extremely gas friendly while,” Brent Dewar, vice president, Chevrolet , said in a statement. “Chevrolet’s focus is on forward-looking technologies to the benefit of our customers, such as the highly efficient, small-displacement turbocharged engine in the Cruze.â€
The Cruze will use a 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder, likely to be rated at 140 horsepower. Chevy has yet to announce pricing for the Cruze, but look for the compact sedan to arrive in Chevrolet showrooms during the third-quarter of 2010.
