The 2017 Cruze Diesel!


Attention St. Louis drivers: it's time to take a road trip in the 2017 Cruze Diesel Sedan! This vehicle offers an EPA-estimated highway mileage of 52 MPG when equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, making this the highest highway fuel economy of any non-hybrid/non-EV in America.

"Chevrolet is dedicated to offering customers a wide range of propulsion options. We know there are customers looking for the right combination of fuel efficiency, driving dynamic, fuel type and more. With the EPA-estimated 52-mpg highway Cruze Diesel Sedan, they can get it all," said Steven Majoros, Director of Chevrolet Marketing.

This vehicle will feature a new Ecotec 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that offers a SAE-certified 137 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. The 2017 manual Cruze even beats the fuel-efficient Prius by 2mpg! The six-speed manual Cruze Diesel gets an EPA-estimated mileage of 30 mpg in the city, resulting in 37 mpg combined, while the nine-speed automatic achieves 47 highway mpg and 31 city mpg, which results in 37 mpg combined.

Your trip will be well equipped with a variety of technology features, thanks to this Cruze. These features include available 4G LTE connectivity, built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay which will be compatible through Chevrolet MyLink.

The 2017 Cruze Diesel Sedan starts at $24,670 (not including $875 destination charge). Later this year the 2018 Cruze Diesel Hatch will be available for purchase! Visit us at Jim Butler Chevrolet for more information!
