Chevrolet Cruz, reviews and recommendations

This car first appeared on the market three years ago and immediately earned the most favorable reviews. Chevrolet Cruz was designed to be a continuation of the Lacetti model line, which is why it was designated as J300, because Lacetti had the code J200.

At first the production of Chevrolet Cruz, like some other Chevrolet models, was started in South Korea at General Motors DAT, but rather soon it was started with the right-hand drive in Australia under the name Holden Cruz, and also (by the end of 2009) in Russia. A year later, Cruz began to produce in the United States. A year later in Russia Chevrolet Cruz began to collect a hatchback with a body.

Depending on the equipment, Chevrolet Cruz is equipped with one of two engines: 16XE and 16XER - the volume of 1598 cu. Cm and 18XER - 1796 cu. See The set of numbers in the model number just shows the engine displacement in cubic decimeters.

In the markets of the European Union are now selling Cruises with a diesel engine Z20DMH and with 1.4 and 2-liter petrol turbo engines.

According to numerous reviews, Chevrolet Cruz attracts buyers with the novelty of the bodywork, modernity and originality. The international team, under the leadership of the vice-president of the body-specializing studio from Korea Tevan Kim, managed to make a real breakthrough and achieve a stylishness, which is clearly lacking in other models currently produced by Chevrolet.

Therefore, Cruise, unlike Lacetti, is not only for those who are simply going to buy a practical, solid, and, most importantly, economical car for very modest money and does not pay any attention to any reviews. Chevrolet Cruz, first of all, is focused on buyers who follow the fashion, but at the same time do not go on about it. It is created for those who value individuality, and not blind worship of trends of modern automotive fashion.

Although if we talk about Chevrolet Cruise, the reviews of satisfied consumers just state that it's not fashionable to get rid of. She still sets her own rules of the game. The border between the classes of cars is becoming more invisible, and the interior of cars is ennobled more and more.

Chevrolet Cruze, reviews about which here are given, in fact, greatly rose above their native C-class. Therefore, the seats in the cabin of this car is plenty, no matter what modification it was not used. If we talk about its luggage compartment, the sedan, for example, has a volume of 450 liters, which means that if you fold the rear seats, it will not give way to a small van or a truck.

From the back, by the way, it's very convenient to go - there is enough room for any person, if only he is not too tall. The arrangement of the front seats is generally at an altitude: the possibility of adjustments in different planes is very wide. The handlebars with convenient thickenings in the grip places are adjusted by the exit and height and are also very convenient. Although there has been some discontent with some users of Chevrolet Cruz, reviews of which rest on some cheapness of finishing in comparison with similar models. Users claim that strange leather inserts on the front panel of the car look somewhat ridiculous in the overall interior. And, interestingly, the fabric used in the less expensive equipment looks even more expensive.

Those who like a hard sport ride, can safely choose Chevrolet Cruz. The drivers' comments say that this car is well managed. At sharp turns it accurately keeps a trajectory of movement, excellently maneuvers and simply likes turns. A stiff powerful suspension very effectively extinguishes slopes, but, on the other hand, as noted by drivers who bought this car, on a not very smooth road this "sportiness" of Cruz instantly turns into a shiver that is palpable for all passengers in the cabin.

It is worth noting that Chevrolet Cruz, whose reviews are given here, with some inconsistency of driving sensations on it, has an impeccable design, which is what makes GM's main bet in the struggle for excellence in full competition the class of this car.
