General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general motors/) has announced the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/cruze/) will return 46 miles per gallon highway based on Environmental Protection Agency estimates, besting original projections by some 4 mpg. As GM points out, the figure is better than "any non-hybrid passenger car in America," including the Volkswagen Passat TDI (http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/passat/) at 43 mpg and the Volkswagen Jetta TDI at 42 mpg. The Toyota Prius (http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/prius/), meanwhile, still bests the Cruze Diesel thanks to the hybrid's 48 mpg highway rating.
Still, Chevrolet (http://www.autoblog.com/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 (http://motorgen.com/2013/04/18/2014-chevrolet-cruze-diesel-gets-46-mpg/#continued) for more information.Continue reading 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel gets 46 mpg (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/18/2014-chevrolet-cruze-diesel-gets-46-mpg/)
