Build Your Own Chevrolet Cruze Eco
Want to schedule a test drive in that sexy new 2012 Chevrolet Cruze, but don’t know where to start? Using a clever web app from GM, the Build Your Own tool via Chevy’s official website, getting a better idea of what YOUR Cruze will look like, and cost, is only a few clicks away.
Getting started: A base model 2012 Cruze, with 138-hp 1.8L DOHC I-4 engine and six-speed manual transmission, is available for $16,800. This makes it one of the least expensive vehicles in its class on the market today. But don’t let bare bones driving get you down. Opt for the fully stocked ECO with extra horsepower (as well as better gas mileage and more transmission options) for just under $20,000 Still a bargain!.
Next: After choosing your interior and exterior color schemes, click through the different tabs and upgrade transmission to automatic (or stick with manual for even greater MPG’s), super-size those alloy wheels to 17″, pick additions like all-weather floor mats and upgraded audio system.
As the box in the lower right hand corner updates with live price changes, it’s time to check those accessories. Fog lamps or molded splash guards add personal touches to your all new Cruze.
Finally: Request a quote, and let the Chevy app guide you towards a local dealer, who has that exact Cruze model and trim level ready for you. With 42 MPG, the 2012 Cruze ECO is a purchase you won’t ever regret.
