A Diesel Option Will Be Available On Next Year's Chevy Cruze

Chevrolet recently announced that the new Cruze will be offered with a diesel option paired with a manual transmission sometime next year. The previous Cruze diesel was only available with an automatic transmission, so this is marks a big change for the vehicle. Additionally, a six-speed manual transmission will be available on the hatchback version of the Cruze. Both versions are available with a new nine-speed automatic.

GM has confirmed that the Cruze will be receiving the same engine found in the 2018 Equinox- the 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel. The output of this Equinox is 136 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, however it has not yet been announced what the exact output of the Cruze’s version will be. It has been reported that it could hit up to 50 miles per gallon on the highway.


After the release of this information, it is obvious GM is taking big steps towards the diesel market, which has many advantages, so we’re excited to see what happens next. And since we have awhile until the manual transmission Cruze diesel comes out, we hope you will come check out the 2016 Colorado diesel at Mid-MO Powerhouse in Jefferson City, MO!

The 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback has Tons of Room AND a Reasonable Price

Chevrolet has finally announced the pricing of one of its newest vehicles—the 2017 Cruze Hatchback. The all-new vehicle will start out at a reasonable $22,190 and is expected to arrive at dealerships, including MidMo Powerhouse, this fall. 

What we know: the new hatchback has added 3.7 cubic feet of cargo space to that of the traditional Cruze, and has a whopping 42 cubic feet of storage when the seats are folded down! The LT model features a 1.4-liter turbo, four-cylinder engine with 153 horsepower and is available with a six-speed or manual transmission. The staffers here at the dealership think that a diesel powered 5-door Cruze hatchback would be a great vehicle for out in the rural areas. We can’t wait for Chevy to announce this vehicle’s standard and optional equipment! 

Car buyers in the Midwest have been showing increased interest in hatchbacks due to the extra utility that the 5th door adds. Jim Butler Linn Chevrolet invites you to try the Cruze Hatchback when it arrives this fall!
