The first really genuine Chevrolet to hit South Africa’s shores – the cool, unpretentious Cruze – is one of the best buys on the market. Developed from a cheeky concept car launched in the east, the Cruze has been carefully tweaked and engineered to create a compact sedan that is not only performance driven but is consistently rated amongst the safest cars on the road today!
Budget Cars Cape Town
Notwithstanding its reputation as a family car of note, the Chevy Cruze 1.6 L is retailing at low, low discounted prices at leading GM dealerships in the Mother City. Amongst a fleet of Cape Town cars for sale, comprising both new and G2 certified pre-owned cars, is the sleek and economical Chevrolet Cruze that has been marked down to R184 900, registering a savings of almost R10 000!
About the Cruze
Defined as ‘simplicity in motion’, the Cruze features clean lines, a single arc roof and proportions significantly larger than those of its self-proclaimed rival, the Corsa.
Split rear seats with the capability of folding flat enhance the already impressive boot space that clocks in at 450L, while nifty cubby holes secreted on the dash, central island and in the passenger compartment enable easy stowage of clutter.
Superb Build Quality
Excellent build quality is obviated by a virtually silent on-road performance enhanced by an isolated four-point engine mount, a triple layer sealing system on all the doors and sound damping material built-in to offset noise and vibration.
Cool Features
Standard features designed to optimise driving pleasure include hydraulically assisted steering enabling a 10.9m turning circle, power windows and side mirrors, an on-board computer, air conditioning and a radio/CD combo with MP3 compatibility. Top end models feature a host of additional extras including cruise control, audio steering controls, dual climate control and Rear Parking Assist.
Safety First
It is, however, the Cruze’s reputation as one of the safest cars ever to be built that more often than not seals the deal, and safety features there are aplenty:
• Traction control system
• StabiliTrak electronic stability control system
• Driver and passenger airbags
• Tyre pressure and oil life monitors
• Z-link rear suspension standard to all but the LS
• 4-wheel ABS brakes
• 65 percent high-strength steel body structure
In fact, the Cruze has consistently raked in the highest safety star rating possible in crash safety tests conducted across the world and, in 2011, the Chevrolet Cruze was awarded the ‘Top Safety Pick’ by the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety!
