2013 Chevrolet Cruze Features "Smart" Airbag

Chevy_bags

The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze features a "smart" airbag that reduces the risk of injury to the driver.

GM said on Tuesday the special airbag cuts the risk of "inflation-induced injury by allowing the driver's forward momentum to effectively push the air out and away." The automaker described the airbag as an "industry first."

The airbag is standard equipment on the 2013 Cruze.

"This new airbag technology is a smart way to manage crash forces," said Gay Kent, GM general director of vehicle safety and crashworthiness, in a statement.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety say that airbag-related fatalities are relatively rare.

"The energy required to quickly inflate airbags can cause injury," said the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in a statement on its Web site. "This used to be a serious concern with frontal airbags, but, thanks to new government requirements, airbag injuries are becoming a thing of the past. Fortunately, even with older airbags, most of the injuries that occur are minor scrapes and abrasions, and serious injuries and death are relatively rare."

NHTSA estimates that during 1990-2008, more than 290 deaths were caused by frontal airbag inflation in low-speed crashes. Nearly 90 percent of the deaths occurred in vehicles manufactured before 1998, and more than 80 percent of people killed were unbelted or improperly restrained.

Unbelted occupants are likely to move forward if, for example, there is hard braking or swerving before a frontal crash. These occupants can end up on top of, or extremely close to, the airbags as they begin to inflate.

Volt Voyages Past 100 Million All-electric Miles

Volt

The innovative Chevy Volt is just now celebrating its second anniversary, having gone on sale in December of 2010, and its owners have plenty to celebrate as well. Since on average Volt owners are relying on electric motivation for more than 65 percent of their travel needs, the Volt has now provided more than 100 million miles of zero-emissions, all-electric transportation. Just as importantly, that translates into a total fuel savings of some 5 million gallons, with owners recouping an average of $1,370 annually in fuel costs.

 In fact, the typical Volt driver gets about 900 miles per tankful of gas when regularly recharging the car, and refuels approximately once every 90 days. And while individual results may vary, they also can be very much more impressive than that. Consider the performance posted by Volt driver Andrew Byrne, from Los Angeles, who reported: “Since my daily driving is all electric, I only really need to buy gas for long road trips. I drove over 1,900 miles on my last tank of gas.”

Then there’s this from Farris Khan in southeastern Michigan: “My commute is 55 miles round trip, but with the Volt I use 80 percent less gas and save over $150 each month. Plus the Volt is really fun to drive because of its instant torque; driving anything else feels like yester-tech!”

As a reminder, the Chevy Volt boasts a breakthrough powertrain that combines both electric drive and a high-efficiency gas-powered engine. It can travel an EPA-certified 38 miles on a single charge by using electricity only, and can then seamlessly switch over to its gasoline engine to travel more than 330 further miles. Keep in mind, too, that even when the Volt does happen to use gasoline, it still achieves some of the best fuel-economy grades in the country. The Volt’s EPA line runs 35 mpg city/40 mpg highway/37 mpg combined, giving it better city and combined fuel-efficiency ratings than any other gas-only vehicle in its size class. (In its all-electric mode, the EPA rates the Chevy Volt at 98 MPGe.)

It’s no wonder the Volt was just named the No. 1 vehicle in Consumer Reports’ annual Owner Satisfaction Survey—for the second year in a row.

“The best sign of a great product is when your customers are the most satisfied in the industry,” said Cristi Landy, Chevrolet Volt marketing director. “Volt owners have found the Volt is not only fun to drive, but provides technology and performance where consumers need it most.”

New 2014 Chevy Silverado Pickup -- it's here!

We’ve made it our life’s work to make Silverado the benchmark of full-size pickups. And we’ve raised the bar yet again. When we set out to perfect our Silverado, not a single component went untouched. We’ve reengineered and reimagined everything from interior and exterior styling to ergonomics and performance. It’s stronger, smarter and more capable than ever.

Designed for truck use

The all-new interior is developed entirely around functionality, but with premium materials and the smartest technologies. The new front seats are built for all-day comfort, and a reimagined use of interior space provides more rear-seat leg room in the Crew Cab. From the driver seat, controls are grouped by function and strategically located for optimum visibility and accessibility. And if you want to talk “organized,” new control pods connect you to top-of-the-line technology while the reconfigurable center console features spaces for laptops, hanging file storage, multiple USB ports, and more.

Instruments and steering wheel

A new 6-gauge instrument cluster with an upright design includes the available Enhanced Driver Information Center. It displays your truck’s vital stats like trailer brake settings and coolant temperature. Plus, it works with the available 8-inch Chevrolet MyLink Radio to display the channel or song you’re listening to. Best of all, steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to flip through the displays, activate the available heated steering wheel, change songs, and set the cruise control without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

Performance

Introducing EcoTec3

The 2014 Silverado offers all-aluminum engines backed by 95 years of truck-making heritage and propelled by innovative technology. And now it’s better than ever before thanks to EcoTec3, an entirely new engine family that optimizes fuel economy and power. Featuring Active Fuel Management, Variable Valve Timing and Direct Injection, EcoTec3 optimizes efficiency based on how you drive. And with three EcoTec3 Engine options, there is one to perfectly meet your driving and hauling needs. No matter which engine you choose, Silverado delivers the most fuel-efficient and powerful pickup lineup ever. (Final EPA estimates not yet available.)

Exterior

Look the part

The 2014 Silverado is an athlete, muscular yet refined. We’ve taken the classic aesthetics of Silverado to a new level with a taller dual power dome hood, wider, stronger styling and wraparound bumper and fender flares. The signature-stacked headlamps blend Silverado heritage with modern styling. The durable and smartly redesigned pickup box makes it easy to access, organize and secure your cargo.

Pricing Revealed for 2014 Impala

Chevy

 

Chevrolet’s all-new full-size flagship—the 2014 Impala—will set sail with a price tag that starts at $26,725 (before an $810 destination charge). That represents a fairly modest $865 bump over the MSRP of the current model, especially when you consider just how thoroughly the 2014 Impala has been upgraded.

 Wrapped in a strikingly sophisticated new exterior, the redesigned Impala will offer:

  • Three powertrain choices, including both a high-efficiency eAssist option that delivers 35 mpg highway and an available 305-hp V6
  • A full complement of advanced safety features, like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot and lane-departure warnings, and rear cross-traffic alert
  • Chevy’s next-gen MyLink entertainment system, with a customizable eight-inch screen, natural voice recognition, and Bluetooth audio streaming
  • Upscale illumination treatments such as LED daytime running lights and HID headlamps
  • Standard 18-inch wheels and available 19- and 20-inchers
  • An interior distinguished by premium materials and active noise cancellation for a refined driving environment

The Impala is slated to go on sale in the spring of next year, with V6-powered models arriving in dealerships first, with MSRPs that open at $29,950, followed by the base models with Chevy’s new 2.5-liter I4, and then the eAssist variant, which is still waiting to be priced.

“This all-new Impala delivers on our promise that every new car that wears the Chevrolet bowtie will embody the pioneering spirit that has defined the brand for more than a century.” said Chris Perry, vice president, global Chevrolet marketing. “With the striking new design and the right mix of comfort, technology and efficiency, we have recaptured the magic that attracted millions of consumers to the Impala nameplate for decades.”
