Chevrolet 4-cylinder U.S. sales at 46% of vehicles, vs. 23% in 2007
Via GCC:
4-cylinder engines now account for 46% of Chevrolet retail sales, up from 23% in 2007
Quote:
In 2007, four-cylinder models represented 23% of Chevrolet retail sales in the US— less than either V-6 or V-8 equipped models. So far this year, that number has increased to 46%, making fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines the top choice in the Chevrolet lineup, according to GM.
...
Customers are moving out of V-8 powered SUVs into V-6 powered crossovers like the Traverse, and from V-6 powered cars and crossovers into fuel-efficient four-cylinder models, such as Cruze, Malibu, and Equinox.
