Cole Krum Chevrolet, the premier Vicksburg Chevy dealer, is anticipating the arrival of the 2011 Cruze, which features a segment-leading 10 airbags.

Michigan dealer Cole Krum Chevrolet is looking forward to the arrival of the 2011 Cruze.  Chevy’s newest compact car features a segment-leading 10 airbags and is expected to arrive in stores later this fall.

Michigan Chevrolet dealer Cole Krum Chevrolet, serving Vicksburg Chevy drivers, has announced that the eagerly anticipated 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is designed with the safety of its passengers in mind.  The car has a segment-leading 10 air bags!

The airbags are standard on all Cruze models and include dual stage airbags, head-curtain airbags mounted in the roof rail, seat mounted, side-impact airbags and front and rear airbags.

Other safety features are front passenger seat occupant sensing system and rollover sensing and protection system.  The Cruze also has a collapsible pedal assembly, which can minimize injuries to the driver in a head-on collision.

Chevrolet sought the help of Scott Thomas to make this car as safe as possible.  Thomas has 30 safety patents on his resume.  Most of the patents were awarded for new or improved air bags and restraint systems.

“My co-workers and I have put a lot of personal effort and thought into Chevrolet products like the Cruze,” says Thomas.  “Anyone who buys this car will have peace of mind knowing that they are driving a vehicle with some of the most advanced safety technology in the segment.”

The 2011 Cruze is a 4-door sedan created to replace the Cobalt as the compact car in the GM lineup.  Besides the safety features of this car, Chevy drivers have a lot more to look forward to in this all-new vehicle.

The Cruze is available in four models, LS, LT, LTZ, and fuel-economy-oriented Eco trim levels.  The Cruze Eco models have ultra-low-rolling-resistance tires and other aerodynamic tweaks designed to increase fuel economy, which is an EPA-estimated 40 mpg.

All models are available with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.  The LS has a 136-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine and all other models have a 138-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine.

Standard features for driver comfort on the Cruze include satellite radio, traction control and air conditioning.  These features are not standard on other vehicles in the Cruze’s class.

The 2011 Cruze is set to arrive at the Vicksburg Chevrolet dealership later this year.  To learn more about the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, visit http://www.coleautomotive.com.
