Chevrolet has had the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze drive over 4,000,000 test miles, enough to circle the Earth over 160 times. After making many stops, driving through all sorts of conditions including rain, ice, snow, dry heat, humidity and through mountains, deserts, potholes, mud, and bad roads, Chevrolet is certain the 2011 Cruze is finally ready to make it available to drivers at Chevy Fort Worth.

A car that includes more standard safety features, interior room, and fuel economy than competing compact car segment vehicles, the 2011 Cruze is sure to impress the masses. Designed by an international team of designers, the 2011 Cruze’s interior has been pushed beyond its limits, and fitted with plenty of space and stylish features.

The interior has been equipped with On Star Directions and Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn navigation, standard for the 1st six months. Bluetooth wireless technology, a USB port, XM radio, and a 9 speaker Pioneer sound system to make sure you enjoy you music, are all part of the package.

And to make sure you actually hear your music and not the road, Chevrolet has equipped the 2011 Cruze with a triple-sealer acoustic-laminated glass windshield and liquid-applied sound deadeners.

As one of the safest cars in its class, the 2011 Cruze is equipped with nine standard safety airbags. The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System wit Traction Control and four wheel antilock brakes help you stay on the road and in control.

In the occurrence of a crash, the 2011 Cruze is also equipped with OnStar Automatic Crash Response, standard for the 1st six months. Built in sensors automatically alert an advisor that can immediately connect to your vehicle and request emergency help to your GPS destination, all without you having to utter a word.

The 2011 Cruze promotes efficiency without compromising performance with its 1.4 liter turbocharged engine. The 2011 Cruze Eco, expected late 2010, will get an estimated 40 mpg highway due to ultra-low rolling resistance tires and other technologies to boost efficiency. And with 17” wheels and a rear spoiler, you can feel as good as you look all while you’re saving gas.

Expected to have a 3rd quarter arrival in 2010, the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze starts at just $16,995. The 2011 Cruze has the fit and finish of a world class car. For arrival information and to schedule at test drive, visit your Fort Worth Chevrolet dealer today.

Since its introduction as an all-new model for the 2008 model year, the Chevrolet Malibu has continued to earn praise from consumers, automotive critics and industry experts. Malibu was recently named a Best Buy by Consumers Digest for the second year in a row, and a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for 2010. That’s on top of 2008 North American Car of the Year honors by automotive journalists, and more than 40 other awards since the car’s introduction.  More importantly, the proof of Malibu’s success is on the road, because consumer demand for Malibu has been steadily increasing.

A strong stance and bold proportions highlight the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu’s design.  Clean, pure lines and wheels pushed to the corners, as well as a visually lower, yet longer, greenhouse and a shorter deck suggest motion, agility and attitude. The body sides are clean and elegant, interrupted only by distinctive, wheel-oriented forms that communicate an aggressive, stable stance and a rear profile with Corvette cues that connects to Chevrolet’s rich performance heritage.

Inside the Malibu drivers are treated to a Chevrolet signature dual-cockpit design that features flowing instrument panels, prominent gauges backlit in blue and metallic or wood grain accents.

Here are the details:

The Chevrolet Silverado has maintained pace not only with changing demands, but also in leading the way with innovative engineering and technology that delivers everything from outstanding fuel efficiency and enhanced driver control to high-strength steel and the latest electronics. While the Silverado 1500 pickup truck hasn’t changed significantly for the 2010 model-year, Chevrolet fine-tuned some of the truck’s features and moved a few options to its standard equipment list. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side air bags, navigation system, remote engine start, and wireless cell-phone link.

The Chevy Malibu has enjoyed a ranking near the top of the midsize car class since its 2008 redesign. US News and World Report says, “With a distinctive, two-tone cabin more stylish than the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, a balanced ride and excellent fuel economy, the Malibu is one of the best family cars available.”

Since 2008, the Malibu has been named one of Car and Driver’s 10Best, North American Car of the Year at the 2008 North American International Auto Show, Kiplinger magazine’s “Best in Class,” and one of Automobile Magazine’s 2008 Automobile All-Stars.  The Malibu is also a Consumer’s Digest Best Buy 2 years in a row. The 2010 model is relatively unchanged from the award winning 2008 model.

The Chevrolet Tahoe 4-door SUV offers great spaciousness and towing capability, with the segment’s best fuel economy. That includes EPA-rated 15 city and 21 highway mileage in the Tahoe XFE model that was introduced during the ’09 model year. For 2010, new features include a pair of exterior colors; variable valve timing and E85 capability on the 5.3-liter engine; and a change to a single-speed transfer case on 4WD models (a two-speed transfer case is optional).

This sale is only available for a limited time.

The Silverado features StabiliTrak Stability Control System, OnStar Automatic Crash Response, thorax and pelvic airbags, and GPS location software as part of its safety features.

Along with winning the coveted “Best Buy” award from Consumer’s Digest, the Chevy Silverado was also named the “Best Full-Size Truck for the Money” from U.S. News & World Reports and stated to have the “lowest cost of ownership” by Vincentric.

General Motors announced in the beginning of the month that due to strong public interest in the car, they would be increasing U.S. production of the car by 50 percent in 2012.  They had planned to produce 30,000 vehicles and will now produce 45,000.

Since the announcement of the Chevy Volt, each additional detail released has added consumer interest.  Chevy recently released a few facts that make this car the only car of its kind.  The Volt has a total driving range of about 340 miles and is powered by electricity at all times, making it unlike any other car.  For up to the first 40 miles, the length of a typical commute, the vehicle drives gas- and tailpipe-emissions-free using electricity from its battery.  When the Volt’s battery runs low, a gas-powered, engine/generator operates to extend the driving range another 300 miles on a full tank.

“The Chevrolet Volt provides drivers with the latest technology, outstanding innovation, and something no other electric vehicle can provide – peace of mind,” said Edward E. Whitacre, Jr., GM Chairman and CEO.

Chevy dealers began taking customer orders for the Volt in the beginning of the month and have found that more than 25,000 people have joined the Chevrolet Volt enthusiast in recent weeks due to the increase in attention that the car is receiving.  The car was originally planned to launch initially in just three U.S. markets, but due to consumer interest, has been raised to seven markets.

The car will not only be great for the environment, but its production is good for the economy.  Production of the Volt has increased employment for both Chevy and additional suppliers.  The car’s batter cell supplier LG Chem/Compact Power Inc. added 400 jobs to aid in production just this month.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt will be arriving at our Fort Worth Chevy dealership later this year.  For more information, you can visit Jerry Chevrolet’s website for more information: http://www.jerryschevytexas.com.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is a revolutionary four-door hybrid vehicle that uses a battery for shorter trips and a flex-fuel powered engine for travel beyond.  Depending on variables like weather, the electrical features in use and consumer driving style, the Volt can travel up to 40 miles on the electricity stored in the battery —completely free of gas and emissions.

The gas-powered, range-extending engine then takes over to provide electrical power for up to 300 additional miles of travel.  With this system in place, Volt’s range is limitless, because it can be powered by gas until the Volt can be plugged back in.

Chevrolet Volt Hybrid News

With hybrid vehicles offering a 40-mile range, three-fourths of the country would be able to commute cleanly, efficiently and affordably.  If that electricity is generated using wind, water, solar or biofuels, the overall of impact of travel can be significantly reduced. Advancements in electricity production coupled with the use of electricity-powered vehicles have the potential to make the world a much cleaner place.

2011 Chevy Volt Battery Warranty

After years of speculation, General Motors has finally announced the terms of the warranty on the Chevrolet Volt’s lithium ion battery pack; eight years/100,000 miles.

The 16 total kwh pack stores sufficient energy in a band from roughly 30% to 80% state-of-charge to propel the car for up to 40 miles at ambient temperature and with moderate driving style.

Since first working with the LG Chem lithium-manganese spinel cells in October 2007, GM has definitively proven their safe and robust nature. In these nearly three years of testing, GM has completed more than 1 million miles of driving and 4 million hours of validation of Volt battery packs, which include exactly nine modules and 288 cells.

“The Chevrolet Volt’s batteries have exceeded our performance targets and are ready to hit the road,” said Micky Bly, GM executive director, global electrical systems. “Our customers are making a commitment to technology that will help reduce our dependence on petroleum. In turn, we are making a commitment to our customers to deliver the highest standards for value, safety, quality, performance and reliability for an unprecedented eight years/100,000 miles.”

GM stresses the following key features of the Volt’s battery that allow this unprecedented in the industry warranty:

Thermal Management: the intrinsic thermal management system allows the pack and car to operate flawlessly from -13 degrees Fahrenheit (-25 C) and as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit (+50 C). In cold weather the cells are warmed by the generator and in warm weather they are chilled.

Diagnostics: there are more than 500 diagnostic tests on the pack that run 10 times per second. 85 percent ensure the pack is operating safely, 15 percent ensure durability.

Cell design: the LG chemistry ensures high power and long life.

Energy Management: by not fully charging or discharging the battery ensures the longest possible life.

GM is on track to deliver the Volt to customers later this year.

“We’re moving fast to deliver for the customer and ensure the Volt launch stays on track,” said Nancy Laubenthal, plant manager of the Brownstown Battery Plant. “Last August we announced the investment in the Brownstown facility and in January built our first completed battery pack. Now we are finishing pre-production batteries and soon we will begin building production batteries for Chevrolet Volts that will be delivered to dealers before the end of the year.”

In addition to this battery warranty, GM is also offering the following additional warranties on the car:

• 100,000 mile/5-year transferable Engine Limited Warranty (for Range Extender)
• 100,000 mile/5-year 24/7 Roadside Assistance Program
• 100,000 mile/5-year 24/7 Courtesy Transportation Program
• 36,000 mile/ 3-year no deductible Bumper-to-Bumper transferable warranty
• 100,000 mile/6-year corrosion protection

Much has changed in the area since the opening of Jerry’s Chevrolet. Jerry Durant would like to think that his real estate investments and service on the school board and economic and educational councils have helped the community thrive. In 40 years he has gone from one acre to forty four; one brand to eight; twenty-five employees to more than 350; a few hundred sales per year to more than 9,000; from “on the lot” to online.

Regardless of how much has changed, some things always stay the same. All of the Jerry Durant dealerships will give customers the vehicle they need at a price they’ll love.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze in Fort Worth

An all-star team of international designers pushed the interior boundaries of Cruze. It starts with space and Cruze has plenty of it — more than Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. And it’s easy on the ears too. A triple-sealed, acoustic-laminated glass windshield and liquid-applied sound deadeners are just some of the techniques used to help make the road seen, not heard. Cruze also has available finishing touches: leather seat appointments or unique fabric accents for a sophisticated two-tone look.

The available small displacement 1.4L turbocharged engine, ideal for Cruze, is designed to deliver efficiency without compromising performance. Coming late 2010, the Cruze Eco is expected to offer an estimated 40 MPG highway. Cruze Eco adds ultra-low-rolling resistance tires and other technologies to boost efficiency. And Cruze Eco is decked out with a rear spoiler and 17″ wheels, so saving gas will finally look as good as it feels.

Cruze sets itself apart from other compacts on safety with 10 standard airbags, including frontal, front seat side-impact, roof-rail head-curtain, rear-seat side impact, second row side, and front knee air bags. Technologies like StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four-wheel antilock brakes help you stay on the road and in control. And should the unthinkable ever happen, Cruze is equipped with OnStar® Automatic Crash Response standard for the first six months. Built-in sensors can automatically alert an Advisor, who is immediately connected to your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location, even if you’re unable to respond.

The Cruze blueprint calls for more than you’d expect. That’s why every Cruze has the OnStar Directions & Connections plan® — including Turn-by-Turn Navigation — standard for the first six months. Hands-free calling is available with Bluetooth® wireless technology for select phones. An available USB port for your iPod® and XM Radio for three trial months give you plenty of entertainment options. Best of all, treat your senses to the available nine-speaker Pioneer® sound system. There’s just some things that no driver should live without, even in a car this size.

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze will replace Cobalt as the compact car from General Motors’ volume division. Cruze is a 4-door sedan that comes in LS, LT, LTZ, and fuel-economy-oriented Eco trim levels. The LS has a 136-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. The LT, LTZ, and Eco use a 138-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission is available on all models.

Among the available features are a wireless cell-phone link and navigation system. Cruze Eco models have ultra-low-rolling-resistance tires and other aerodynamic tweaks designed to increase fuel economy. Available on the LT and LTZ is an RS Appearance Package, which includes specific wheels and exterior trim.

The new compact Chevrolet Cruze, which replaces the Chevy Cobalt, is not only a good looking vehicle, but also boasts many safety features.

“We are very confident of the safety performance of the Cruze and believe it will prove to be one of the safest vehicles in the segment,” said Chuck Russell, vehicle line director at the Milford Proving Ground, where future vehicles are tested. “To benefit our customers, we went way beyond requirements to exceed government safety mandates.”

The list of standard safety features on all models includes dual stage airbags, head-curtain airbags mounted in the roof rail, seat mounted, side-impact airbags, front and rear, front passenger seat occupant sensing system, and rollover sensing and protection system as well as a collapsible pedal assembly, which can minimize injuries to the driver in a head-on collision.

Chevy has also provided a comparison showing that the Cruze has nine standard features that cost extra on the Honda Civic, including satellite radio, traction control and Air Conditioning. Downsizing has become a fact of life in the compact segment where consumers both expect fuel economy approaching 40 miles per gallon and a comfortable interior as well, and the Cruze offers both.

Fort Worth drivers may believe that it is more important to prepare your car for the winter months, but maintaining your Chevrolet vehicle during the summer months is also crucial. Jerry Durant, the leading Fort Worth Chevrolet dealership, is here to offer you some essential summer car-care tips.

Check Your Tires – By checking your tire pressure and comparing it to the recommended pressure for your Chevrolet vehicle, you can either inflate or deflate your tires as needed. Properly inflated tires can save you at the gas pump, too.

Change Your Oil – Consult your driver’s manual on how often you should get a factory-trained Fort Worth Chevrolet service technician change your oil. It is recommended to come into the service shop every 3,000 miles. By coming to a Fort Worth Chevrolet service technician, you’ll have comfort in knowing that only the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil is being used on your vehicle.

New Wiper Blades – The winter months can be harsh on your wiper blades, so consider getting new ones so you’ll be prepared for any rain this summer.

Park in the Shade – Whether you park in the shade or in your garage, protecting your vehicle from the hot summer sun will mean you’ll feel a lot more comfortable climbing into the driver’s seat on a hot day. Plus, keeping your vehicle in a cooler temperature means you won’t have to worry about the heat evaporating the fuel from your tank.

Replace Air Filters – Our Fort Worth Chevrolet service technicians recommend you change your air filters twice a year to keep your vehicle running like new.
