2013 Chevrolet Cruze Features "Smart" Airbag
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
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.”
