Chevrolet cruze

The New 2016 Chevrolet Cruze now comes with an even better exterior styling. First in segment projection fog lamps, LED daytime running lights, new front grille and a new rear lip spoiler add to the already crisply sculpted looks of the car while the 7-inch touch screen MyLink infotainment system adds a whole new world on the inside.

Cruze is back and better than ever. The new dual-port chrome grille front fascia, and a balanced tail light design on the rear enhance the sculptural lines of the Cruze, while a wide chrome bar on the upper rear bumper creates a more sophisticated look. Projection fog lamps and LED daytime running lights add to the appearance while improving safety. These aesthetic enhancements take the Cruze to the next level in design and detailing.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) with EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution)

Electronic sensor based ABS provides excellent braking efficiency and shorter stopping distances, which assists better steering control, especially on slippery surfaces.

ISO-FIX CHILD SEAT PROVISION

Specifically designed to install a child seat in the rear seating area that can be secured in any of the three rear seats, the Cruze offers enhanced protection for children.

Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD)

The EBD calculates and applies the right amount of braking pressure to each wheel to maximize stopping power and maintain control when braking.

Rear Park Assist

Park with precision, in and out of the tricky spots with the help of your Cruze’s Rear Park Assist.

Rear Vision Camera

Parking is a breeze with Rear Vision Camera, linked to your 7-inch display. Get alerted about obstacles within range and also about vehicles moving in closer.Chevrolet Cruze comes with a respectable list of active and passive safety devices like dual airbags, safety cage, all-wheel disc brakes (ventilated at front and solid at rear), Occupant Protection System and the ever-so-useful ABS (Anti-Lock Braking system). This keeps the Corvette inspired cockpit as safe as possible.

Chevrolet Cruze Braking and Safety Inside too, the Chevrolet Cruze looks and feels quite sporty. Angular and modern dash layout makes the cabin quite young and interesting. Silver finished center console along with shiny control dials constructs the otherwise black and dingy interiors of Cruze in a very retro form. This makes the interiors a welcome change over the beige-obsessed Indian auto market.

Chevrolet Cruze Interior

Instrument cluster looks modern and easy-on-the-eyes, thanks to the big chrome finished racy dials and MID (Multi Information Display) with cool blue backlight. However, excess of chrome inserts conveys a very tacky feel and adding it is the cloth finished dashboard which is both cheap and ugly.

Chevrolet Cruze Interior

Seats are quite firm and lacks the plushness that one expects at such a price. Further, the jolty ride and suspension settings makes it a somewhat spine hurting experience over ill-roads. Cabin space is not a plus point either. Limited leg and headroom makes Cruze a bit cramped for the rear passengers. Raised up boot and thick body pillars creates some annoying blind spots for an otherwise well-placed driver seat. Lots of seat and steering adjustment further ensures a perfect driving position for every head and torso.

Equipment are generous like rich leather seats, Bluetooth music streaming (screen looks awfully cheap) with CD player, tilt and reach adjustable steering wheel, electrically adjustable seats, premium audio system etc. are up for grab.

Overall, with a decent boot, Chevrolet Cruze offers a very unique and livable cabin attributes but if fails to make its mark in the quality and fit and finish departments.

Performance and Handling Chevrolet Cruze Performance and Handling

Handling is pretty impressive with composed and agile steering system and taut suspension setup. It really turns well at high speeds with minimum of body roll, thanks to its low center of gravity and wide-bodied stance. Ride quality is however a letdown, especially due to cramped cabin and lousily padded rear bench. Overall, the driving experience is quite divine with tons of power on tap but all this is at the cost of a comfortable ride. Cruze therefore is a driver’s delight and really knocks the concerned senses when pushed hard to its limits.

However, the automatic transmission is quite sluggish and just didn’t bring out the abilities of the brilliant 2L mill and well-balanced chassis. On the contrary, six-speed manual transmission is a joy with nice precise throws and well thought-out gear ratios.

Competitors Chevrolet Cruze Competitors

Leading executive sedans segment from the day of its inception is one of the largest selling car of all time, Toyota Corolla. The near-perfect package of rock solid reliability, refined powertrain, and generous styling (both inside and outside) makes Corolla a very hard contender to even compete against with. However, over the years, the ruthless competition and Corolla’ own outdated design philosophy have contributed towards a shift of popularity among the buyers. Cruze however with is harsh ride and cheap built quality leaves solely only its on-road presence as a USP, that too for young customers only.

Another great option is the Skoda Octavia. A car which commands legions of fans for its superb driving dynamics and tank-like build quality. The newest model has attained nirvana with VW borrowed powertrains and new improved and modern interiors. Truly speaking, Skoda Octavia is way better than the Chevy Cruze in almost every respect, except if it’s the price that you’re concerned with and/ or the Octavia is too streamline and European for you.

Renault Fluence and Volkswagen Jetta are some other offering as well but their dedicated qualities or say intended functions are quite different from the ones of Chevrolet Cruze. The Renault is more of a luxury focused and chauffeur driven car with refined but underpowered engines. French’s trademark quirkiness is easily visible in Fluence’s exterior styling as well as in interior elements. It’s not really a driver’s car and with subtle and composed dynamics, it’s not an eye-catcher like the raw and wild Cruze. VW Jetta too is a typical German sedan with almost humorless briefcase like styling and family design cues all over its body. However, Jetta do offer some class-leading comfort and conveniences but at a hefty price tag.
