Auto Car | New York 2010: Chevrolet Cruze RS | Besides the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco, GM also revealed today, at the New York Auto Show the brand new RS Package for the 2011 Cruze.
The new package, which will be available for the LT and LTZ trim levels and bolsters the car’s styling with unique fascias, rocker moldings, rear spoiler and fog lamps. Chevrolet offers also an uplevel instrument cluster which includes chrome accent rings in place of the standard silver finish, as well as opaque cluster bezels that allow the cluster’s ice blue backlighting to shine through – providing a sporty nighttime appearance. “For customers who want even more personality and presence in their vehicle, the RS appearance package builds on the already bold face and coupe-like proportions of the Cruze,” said Michael Simcoe, executive director, North American Exterior Design
Here's the skinny: The Cruze RS is an appearance package for Chevy buyers who want a Cruze with a higher level of panache. That out of the way, the RS sports sexier front and rear fascias along with more aggressive rocker panels. Don't forget the pretty OK-looking fog lamps. There's a slick rear spoiler, too. We're also pretty smitten with the big, aluminum wheels that are slathered in some impressive rubber – 235/40/19 to be specific. That's pretty large. Inside features a blacked out interior with leather seats and fabric dash materials.
The Cruze RS get's the same 1.4-liter VVT turbo as the Cruse Eco (as well as 70% of all Cruzes, so says Chevy) and should be coming on line just after the regular Cruze (finally) arrives in the third quarter of this year to eventually replace the aging Cobalt. Until then, make the jump to read the press release.
