The 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt XFE is rated at 37 mpg on the highway; the LS and LT models are rated at 33 mpg on the highway and the high-performance Cobalt SS delivers 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The Cobalt SS is powered by a sophisticated 2.0L turbocharged and intercooled Ecotec engine that uses direct injection technology to deliver its balance of performance and fuel efficiency.

HIGHLIGHTS:
* New exterior colors: Black Granite Metallic and Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat
* MY LINK package now includes AM/FM radio with CD player, MP3 playback and USB port; Bluetooth phone connectivity, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls, leather-wrapped shift knob, OnStar with Directions & Connections plan and 16-inch aluminum wheels

There are few changes for the Cobalt lineup for 2010, including exterior and interior color revisions. What hasn’t changed, however, is its customer-focused package of choices, convenience and safety features that many other competitors can’t match – including Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity and an iPod-compatible USB port in the radio.
