The Chevy Cruze Features an Industry-First Air Bag

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 20, 2012 - As one of Chicagoland's premier auto dealerships (http://www.homewoodchevy.com/chevy-dealers-homewood), Chevrolet of Homewood has long stood by the automaker's dedication to delivering drivers some of the safest vehicles on the road. It is with that history of support that Chevy of Homewood is proud to announce that the 2013 Chevy Cruze will feature a newly designed air bag that is meant to keep passengers even safer in the event of a collision.

Engineers at Chevrolet have developed a new air bag that, rather than deploying with either low or high force, deploys with an appropriate level of force for the situation. Whereas previously, airbags could sometimes cause serious injuries, this new design allows the momentum of the driver to decompress the airbag, allowing it to give against their pressure and cushion them better.

The new system was recently tested by the NHTSA under their New Car Assessment program, and the Cruze earned the highest rating, 5 stars, for overall vehicle safety.

Not only are these tests a great way for automakers to ensure that they are working in the right direction toward providing a safe driving experience, but they also serve drivers by letting them know whether or not the many new safety features being added to vehicles are actually protecting them.

The 2013 Chevy Cruze (http://www.homewoodchevy.com/2013-chevrolet-cruze), with its industry-first air bag technology, is available now at local dealerships such as Chevrolet of Homewood. Safety is not all that's featured on the new Cruze, however. Standard features on the base model include power accessories, satellite radio, and Bluetooth smartphone integration, while upper level trims add on options like automatic climate control, a rearview camera, and leather upholstery.
