The first American Brand to win the Award

The verdict is out on the Philippines’ 2010-2011 Car of the Year award and Chevrolet Cruze made it all the way to the top. Besting 56 vehicles under 14 categories that range from best sports car to best pickup, the overall plum spot was ultimately awarded to Chevrolet in a ceremony that coincided with the launch of the 7th Manila International Auto Show at The World Trade Center last April 7, 2011.

The Chevrolet Cruze is certainly no stranger to awards, having already been lauded this year’s “Car of the Year” in Thailand, “Urban Car of the Year” in North America this January and “Canadian Car of The Year” in February. Definitely, adding more reasons to love this Chevy. The award also validated Chevrolet’s claim when it comes to providing more value for money. The Cruze’s winning combination of overall great looks that offers affordability, fusion of iconic and ultra modern design language, a five-star safety rating from NCAP (New Car Assessment Program), and a great driving experience just never fails to translate well across the board. Adding to that now is 5 years of assured quality and peace of mind through the Chevy 5-year warranty program. The fact that the Cruze ticks off a lot of must-haves on car aficionados’ lists was not lost on the judges.
