Car shoppers looking for a 2011 Chevy Cruze in Parksville will love the great features included in all models of the Cruze.  When setting the standard features for the Cruze, Chevy did not spare anything, as the Cruze LS offers more features that drivers want and need than other compact cars.  Standard equipment Chevrolet shoppers in Parksville will love include air conditioning, power windows, power locks with remote keyless entry, OnStar with Turn-by-Turn Navigation, XM Radio, with three-month trial subscription, AM/FM Single-CD radio, a 6-speaker stereo system, rear side impact and knee airbags, passenger seat height adjustment and a telescoping steering wheel.

The Cruze is available in LS, LT, LTZ, and fuel-economy-oriented Eco trim levels.  The LS has a 136-horsepower 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine. The LT, LTZ, and Eco use a 138-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-litre 4-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission is available on all models.
