Chevrolet Cruze achieves 5-Star crash test rating

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze earned five-star crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), further building on the vehicle’s strong safety record in markets around the world.

• Cruze was tested under NHTSA’s new rating system, which was implemented this fall for the 2011 model year
• The new rating is based on more rigorous frontal and side crash tests in addition to rollover resistance testing
• Under the new system, these three test conditions are combined mathematically into an “Overall Vehicle Score”
• The Cruze is the first vehicle tested under NHTSA’s new rating system to achieve five stars in each of the individual crash impact conditions, leading to an Overall Vehicle Score of five stars – the highest rating possible

Safety Comes Standard
• The 2011 Cruze offers more standard safety features than any vehicle in its class
• Standard features include:
StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control
Antilock brakes
Panic Brake Assist and Enhanced Smart Pedal/Brake Override
OnStar with a 6-month Directions & Connections subscription
• In addition, Cruze is the first car in its class with 10 standard air bags, including dual-stage frontal air bags, seat-mounted side-impact air bags and head-curtain side air bags in the frontand outboard rear seating positions, and front knee air bags – a first for the segment
