HI-RES GALLERY: 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel

Set to join the Chevrolet Cruze Eco during the first half of 2013, the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel is one of Chevy's most eagerly-awaited models.

The Cruze Diesel has featured several times before on GreenCarReports, so below you can find all our previous coverage on the model. The most recent articles are listed first--bookmark this page in your RSS reader to be alerted to future updates.

The basics

Chevy announced full details on the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel--including that long-winded name--at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.

You can check out our Cruze Diesel show preview here, we learned plenty more information at the show itself.

The diesel Cruze uses a 2.0-liter, direct injected and turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine. It's rated at 148 horsepower and 248 pounds-feet of torque at only 2,000 rpm, but there's also an overboost function, raising torque to 280 lb-ft for ten seconds--useful for passing other cars.

There are no EPA figures just yet, but highway mileage is estimated at 42 mpg--identical to that of its chief rival, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI.

For more information, check out our links from the Chicago show below:
