40 mpg and it’s not a hybrid?
A Cruze to better fuel economy
The Toyota Prius is rated at 48 mpg highway by the EPA, the Honda Insight 43 mpg.
According to GM, the Chevy Cruze should achieve about 40 mpg highway, prompting CNN’s Peter Valdes-Dapena yesterday to claim, “The automaker’s new Chevrolet Cruze ECO will get very high gas –mileage without relying on any hybrid technology.”
And what about the Cruze’s city fuel economy? That is largely the point of hybrid technology, right?
City fuel economy for the Prius is 51 mpg, and 40 mpg for the Insight. Yet, GM isn’t even releasing its estimates for the Cruze’s city fuel economy. I wonder why? Might it be that when overall fuel economy is compared, the Cruze simply won’t compare to hybrid vehicles? Won’t the Cruze be lucky to achieve even 30 mpg in the city?
Hyundai to Mimic MINI Clubman’s 3-Door System for Veloster?
It definitely seems so. Autocar recently reported that the upcoming three-door Hyundai Veloster hatchback (official name yet to be announced) would carry three physical hinged doors, similar to the MINI Clubman’s mechanism.
If you examine the latest spy shots of the radical three-door hatchback closely, you will notice that the front doors are different lengths – the driver’s side being longer, for easier entry and exit, and the passenger side having a shorter door and a rearward-opening ‘suicide’ door.
But unlike the Clubman, the Veloster is expected to have the third door on the kerbside for both left-hand- and right-hand-drive markets. Mini was heavily criticised for leaving the Clubman’s rear passenger door on the wrong side when it re-engineered the car for right-hand-drive. Hyundai is expected to incur heavy retooling costs for its laudable attempt to appease both significant markets.
