Chevrolet Cruze SW. Masculine. Prices and configurations of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon

Chevrolet Cruze S.W. Price: not determined. On sale: 2012

Age limit: 30–49 years, mostly male and everything else an exemplary family man. And ambitious, because he wants the car he owns to reflect his status in society. This is the portrait of a potential buyer that the developers of the Chevrolet Cruze SW drew for themselves. And they were probably right. At least as far as Europe is concerned, where the demand for station wagons is really good. The choice of model was also successful: Cruze sales started in 2009, and by the first quarter of this year, about 1,400,000 cars were sold worldwide. Without any exaggeration, it is worth noting that the car turned out to be nice, if not quite respectable (this is already a question of the status of the owner). New design front bumper with integrated fog lights, small perky spoiler, eye-catching design rims... In general, an energetic full face, and the profile is good. If you follow the thesis that people are greeted by their clothes, then the meeting was clearly a success. But the designers faced the difficult task of simultaneously pleasing young perfectionists, satisfied heads of families, and representatives of the beautiful part of humanity (although marketers, it seems, do not really count on the interest of the latter). Not bad and Cruze salon S.W. If we talk about the general perception, the design of the modified central console is very successful: it is moderately impressive and at the same time quite functional. And in LTZ configuration there is also multimedia system MyLink with 7 inch touch screen.

Chevrolet Cruze SW

Among other things, the system allows you to display information from a smartphone via Bluetooth or connect other storage media via a USB port. In the “standard” with this system, a rear view camera is installed, which displays a good image on the screen that is convenient for maneuvering in reverse, and also comes with navigation system. As for the purely consumer assessment of the interior, the first definition that comes to mind is “spacious”. And it concerns not only the driver and front passenger seats, made in the characteristic Chevrolet style of a double cockpit, but also passengers rear seats. Moreover, the rear is spacious in any dimension: both taking into account the distances from the knees to the backs of the front seats, and in terms of space above the head. As for utilitarianism, lovers of long-distance travel will like the Cruze SW - there will certainly be no problems with storing luggage: there are a lot of shelves, drawers, containers and niches for small things, and there is nothing to say about the size of the trunk. Rather, there is something to be said: 500 liters of volume when the trunk is loaded to the window line and 1478 liters with the rear seats folded and loaded to the ceiling. And if this is not enough for you, then basic configuration SW has roof rails that can support up to 100 kilograms of load. But everything described above will be more appreciated by an individual located on the right side of the age range outlined by Chevrolet marketers. But what about the 30-year-old head of the family, who, although he loves travel, is not yet alien to a certain enthusiasm? Is it really enough for him to slowly move from point A to point B? In fact, the Station Wagon “from Chevrolet” turned out to be universal in ideology: it was quite good both on the German unlimited autobahn and on fidgety narrow asphalt paths with a difference in elevation. True, some of my colleagues who are fond of active driving complained that on the autobahn the Cruze SW “doesn’t really light up”, but personally I attribute this to the maximalism inherent in those who either have not reached that same thirty, or have barely crossed this milestone.

The interior is well balanced. Nothing superfluous, and everything is functional

There are no complaints about the way the car handles. Everything here is very transparent: a rigid body in symbiosis with a classic suspension: McPherson in front, semi-independent in the rear, with a torsion beam. In addition, the suspension and steering algorithms have been optimized thanks to experience gained from the Cruze version participating in the World Touring Championship. This is one of those cases when motorsport can provide real assistance to the “civilian” automotive industry. So, there were no complaints, but there were nuances in the settings, since not all versions of the Cruze SW use electric power steering. Hence the difference in “steering feel,” although not critical, but noticeable.

Rear seat passengers have plenty of room

Now about the engines. In Europe, the Cruze SW will be available with five engine options. These are, first of all, turbodiesels: 1.7 liter, 130 hp. With. with a maximum torque of 300 Nm (and with excellent efficiency indicators - 4.5 liters per 100 km in mixed cycle), and 2 liter, with a capacity of 163 hp. With. with a torque of 360 Nm. But in Russia, unfortunately, versions with diesel engines will not be supplied - this is Chevrolet's principled position. To begin with, the Russian market will receive models equipped with naturally aspirated petrol engines with a volume of 1.6 (updated, compared to its predecessor) and 1.8 liters (already familiar from the sedan and hatchback), with a capacity of 124 and 141 hp. With.

respectively. But in 2013, we, that is, the Russians, were promised a 1.4-liter gasoline turbo engine with a capacity of 140 hp. With. A motor that I really liked. And not because I started the test with a car with exactly this engine. This engine (as well as the 1.6 liter one) is combined only with a manual gearbox, and rightly so. This is the only way to enjoy driving a car equipped with a 1.4 turbo. For all its agility, the engine is also very flexible: the maximum torque of 200 Nm is in the range of 1850–4900 min-1. So there is complete freedom of choice between active or quiet, economical driving, and if your soul lies more with the former, then acceleration to hundreds takes less than 10 seconds. Here is the family “car” for you... In this regard naturally aspirated engine The 1.8-liter engine seemed to me both more boring and even noisier at the “top” than the 1.4 turbo. And the 1.7 liter diesel engine is very good, which I also had the chance to meet. But is it worth talking about what we won’t see... In addition to all of the above, the Cruze SW has such nice little things as an optional keyless entry into the cabin and start the engine with a button, the Start/Stop system with the ability to activate the Eco mode... And now, if not about the most important thing, then about a very significant factor that will certainly affect demand. At least on Russian market, where the cult of station wagons, similar to the European one, is not yet observed. Cruze price SW will become known this fall. This will become a kind of moment of truth.

OUR VERDICT

As for sales of the Cruze with sedan and hatchback bodies, Russian dealers seem to have no problems with this. But a station wagon... And it’s not about the car itself, but about the mentality of our customers. representative of one of Western companies He once objected to me, saying that you have no demand for station wagons because there is no supply. I think that in in this case demand or lack thereof will be seriously affected by price...

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

The most important thing that I would like to note is the balance of qualities, which is perfect for a car with the “family” characteristic..

In Russia, diesel engines are becoming increasingly popular. the European cult is still far away, but still... and this time it was decided to “refuse”.

Driving

No discoveries, but also no obvious shortcomings. Versions with electric power steering are more interesting.

Salon

Moderately elegant and moderately restrained. The MyLink multimedia system is good in the LTZ package.

Comfort

Everything is fine with this parameter too. The suspension tuning is optimal and the sound insulation is good.

Safety

The power structure of the body is identical to that developed for the sedan, which received 5 Euro NCAP stars. Yes and a set electronic systems active safety at a good level.

Price

Chevrolet Cruze SW appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, but has already replaced similar models with a similar body type. The reason for this is interesting appearance, improved quality characteristics and quite affordable price.

Decent quality model with bright design

The prototype of the new Chevrolet Cruze SW was the Chevrolet Lacetti, which could not stand up to competition compared to modern brands cars in many respects.

The designers fulfilled the task before them perfectly - and the new Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon It turned out to be more than stylish and expressive, with a dynamic look characteristic of the entire family of cars.

Technological features, many useful functions and external elegance

Despite the elongated body and serious spaciousness, the car is ideal for energetic driving. In Russia, the manufacturer offers models with 1.6 and 1.8 liter engines, 124 and 141 hp, respectively. s., which is slightly more than the sedan and hatchback, but this is balanced by the more serious mass of the station wagon. Height ground clearance 160 mm, which is quite a lot even compared to some SUVs and crossovers. Volume luggage compartment slightly more than the sedan - 500 liters, and if the rear seats are folded down, the capacity almost triples. At the same time, the car is least similar to the practical options previously used for various cargo transportation - there is enough space in the cabin for five people, the seats have an orthopedic structure that allows you to relieve the back pressure during long trips.

The undoubted advantage of the station wagon is its technical equipment and comfortable design even in minimum configuration.

Reviews from Chevrolet Cruze SW owners

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

I drove 20 thousand km in 7 months. Pronounced weaknesses I haven't found it in the Chevrolet Cruze SW yet. On the positive side: the design is not bad. The suspension holds the road well, makes turns well, and handles bumps fairly comfortably. Brakes at "5". Everything works, nothing is buggy. On the negative side: gluttonous. It consumes 15 liters in the city - the norm for leisurely driving, while on the highway everything is fine from 7 to 8 liters, again, if you are not in a particular hurry. The 17th radius is contraindicated for a heavy station wagon; the 16th with higher tires is preferable. I've already thrown away two wheels, that's expensive pleasure. Light skin and children are incompatible things. As for consumer properties, I am satisfied. 5 people sit moderately comfortably; they can sit quietly for at least 2 hours. 300 kg of cargo plus my weight - good luck. The trunk of the Chevrolet Cruze SW is comfortable, everything folds and unfolds as it should. In terms of dynamics: it accelerates sadly, while making a strong buzz. Dynamic overtaking is not his strong point, but on an empty highway you can drive very quickly, and holds the road amazingly. Goes 200 km/h according to the speedometer. If you need family station wagon, then you can safely take it. At least I'm happy.

Advantages : design. Spacious trunk. Suspension operation.

Flaws : consumption is too high. Dynamics.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

Hi all. I am writing a review for those who decide to buy this car, I have a 1.8 automatic in the LTZ configuration. I’ll say right away that the car is in full minced meat You won’t find a cheaper Chevrolet Cruze SW (before that there was a “ten” and a “Kia Rio”). The car looks modern, it’s a beauty - well, in general, I really like it. At first glance, I can say that the automatic machine works a little dullly, but if you get used to it, it’s normal (you just need to feel the box). There is a lot of space in the Chevrolet Cruze SW, I am 191 cm tall and there is still a lot of room, although someone as tall as me will not feel comfortable. It turns like a glove (a lot of weight comes into play), the steering wheel is very sensitive and light, fits well in the hand. The music plays like a charm, the display is touch-sensitive and, despite the standard speakers, they play well. There are a lot of necessary and unnecessary functions (for example, I don’t need a light sensor, but cruise control is in long journey helps a lot). Well, with the equipment, I think everyone chooses for themselves according to their capabilities. About consumption: at first the onboard showed 17 liters in mixed mode, now it’s 9.7 and remains so to this day - this is in a mixed cycle with periodic climate control. I measured how much he eats on the highway - it’s realistic (it was very interesting, because they write that the Chevrolet Cruze SW eats “in three throats”). In general, in fact, in 268 km I consumed 19 liters. This means that on the highway the consumption is 7 liters per 100 km, there were also traffic jams, so for me these are acceptable figures, and I don’t know how to drive to consume 15 liters. I can say this about the suspension: small bumps, it flies through crossings unnoticed (the 17th radius plays a role), it goes through large bumps at a speed of 20-30 km/h and is not particularly pleasant; those who drive around Moscow and do not go to the side of the road will like everything. I haven’t found any negatives in the car yet - I’ve owned it for a month. I hope this review will help those in doubt about Chevrolet Cruze SW.

Advantages : appearance. Practicality. Capacity.

Flaws : breaks the suspension on large bumps.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2014

In two years I drove almost 70,000 km on the Chevrolet Cruze SW. I traveled to Poland, and to China, and to Vilyuysk in -50 degrees below zero, covering 16,000 km on one trip. The car has never failed. Among the breakdowns - at 40 thousand, the left gearbox seal became snotty, bought it for 250 rubles, changed it, there were no more problems, only consumables. Now about the advantages of the car. Consumption - highway 6.5 city 8-9 l, after "Mark" - a fairy tale. I would like to highlight the handling, it is excellent, none of my previous cars steered so well, turns are like on rails even at 140-160 km, no rolls or drifts. An acquaintance who has a turbosky, having driven a Chevrolet Cruze SW, was also surprised at how safely and stably the Cruze “devours” turns. Spacious interior, pockets in the doors that can easily accommodate two-liter bottles, a trunk of 500 liters and 1500 with folded seats. He carried a refrigerator, a washing machine, doors and building materials. On long trips you can sleep full length. Various glove compartments, pockets and cup holders throughout the cabin, a full-fledged spare tire under the floor and a bunch of compartments for various tools. Reliable suspension, our roads are not very good, I flew into potholes at speeds above 140, the wheels became square, but the suspension was fine. I loaded 300-400 kg into the car, and didn’t scratch the bottom anywhere. It’s warm, I went to Vilyuisk at -50, it’s hot in the cabin, it starts without problems at -35, the 3-mode heated seats warms up like a charm, you sit like you’re on a frying pan. The interior warms up quite quickly. I think the design is stylish and the exterior is not boring either. With my build of 116 kg and 188 height, I can sit comfortably, even behind myself; adjusting the steering wheel in height and reach helps. The seats are also adjustable in height, except that the central panel of the gearbox is a bit wide, I touch it with my knee. Practical interior, the plastic is easy to clean, almost does not get dirty and does not tear, unlike the light velor on previous cars.

About the cons. The main disadvantage is the engine, no, it’s not problematic, the usual naturally aspirated 1.6 l, 124 hp. It’s just not enough for a car weighing 1.4 tons. It’s a pity that such a polished taxiing is spoiled weak engine. Strongly tightens the glass, whether in frost or rain. In the cold, when the interior is not warmed up, something starts tapping and rattling in the glove compartment area, the interior warms up and everything is fine. The car is mainly for asphalt, ground clearance is 16 cm and large overhangs, go to the forest for mushrooms or to the river along bad roads not worth it. Lack of standard accessories, they simply don’t exist; the car has all sorts of fastenings for nets, curtains, etc. It’s just that it’s almost impossible to buy or order them. Standard wheels- they suck, they bend at the slightest holes and start making a terrible noise. The noise is not very good, especially over 120 km, the arches generally “ATAS” feel like they’re clicking. The paint is scratched at once, with any awkward movement, although there are no chips. DVD player Doesn't read all formats.

Advantages : in the review.

Flaws : in the review.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

Bought this summer year Chevrolet Cruze SW LTZ MT 1.8. I initially considered a station wagon for the convenience of transporting bicycles. A couple of friends have already driven sedans, the reviews were good. The money was up to 800 thousand rubles. IN this body, from other options, for this money you could buy either a KIA, or a Ford, or a Hyundai. KIA did not like the appearance, quality interior decoration Ford just scared me. I liked the Hyundai i30, but the Chevrolet Cruze SW turned out to be richer in equipment and a little larger. Now the odometer shows 7000 km. I already went once under warranty. There was some extraneous noise in the engine. They fixed what the problem was, for some reason they didn’t clearly explain it, supposedly something was wrong with the power steering fluid. After a few hundred kilometers, the noise began to appear again, I will have to go again. I also noticed that the gears are difficult to engage, especially the fourth gear (of course, maybe I’m being picky, but this didn’t happen on the previous Hyundai Elantra car). I was disappointed with the consumption. Still, I thought that new engines were becoming more and more economical. So far 8-9 on the highway, 11-12 in the city and this is manual, with quiet ride. Where are the declared 6.5? The interior and appearance are just excellent. The only frustrating thing is the driver's seating position, the seat is not very comfortable and there is not enough lumbar adjustment. Quite a short armrest. I am not the smallest person, and I can hardly reach the gearbox by placing my elbow on the armrest. Handling is good, holds the track confidently. But in the city there is not enough dynamics; after all, for such a heavy car you need a more powerful engine. In general, the impression so far is ambivalent.

Advantages : pleasantly pleasing to the eye. Comfortable suspension. Sufficient dimensions. Good equipment.

Flaws : high consumption. Bad dynamics. Not a comfortable driver's seat. Gear shifts poorly. Warranty for 500 km.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

Beautiful modern car. I've been driving a Chevrolet Cruze SW for three years. Never let me down. Not a single breakdown or any malfunction. Excellently painted. After three years it is indistinguishable from new. Spacious. I had to spend the night in it more than once. Thankfully it's a station wagon. I slept like at home - spacious, warm and comfortable. It was felt that a free hotel on wheels and on the highway you would always be protected by the reliability of the units and a sleeping place. When purchasing a large household appliances I didn’t experience any problems with self-delivery. The family enjoys going to long journey. On the road, you can safely budget only for gasoline, and not for possible repairs. In general, the car is no problem. The design of the Chevrolet Cruze SW body and interior trim makes it easy for this “doll” to appear in any society.

Advantages : long to list.

Flaws : low for dirt roads.

Chevrolet Cruze station wagon began to be produced quite recently, but for short term gained its fans. Cause, quite interesting specifications Chevrolet Cruze SW great view which you can see in the photo. We also suggest watching a video about the Cruze station wagon at the bottom of the article, as well as an overview of the trim levels and current prices for Chevrolet Cruze station wagon.

In March 2012, the Chevrolet Cruze in a new station wagon was presented in Geneva. Already in the summer of the same year, the car began to appear on sale in many countries. The most interesting thing is that Chevrolet Cruze, developed in Korea mainly for emerging markets, has become very popular in the United States. So, at the end of 2013, almost 250 thousand cars of this family were sold there, about the same number in China. For example, last year only 54,367 units were sold in Russia. Nevertheless, in the domestic car market the car was among the 10 best-selling.

After the appearance of the third body option, some analysts began to predict that a coupe may appear after the sedan, hatchback and station wagon. They immediately began to discuss competitors, the Kia Serato coupe and others. But so far there is no official information about the creation of the Chevrolet Cruze Coupe, and there are no refutations of such plans.

The designer of the entire Cruz family, David Lyon, had to try to ensure that the Cruz station wagon did not turn into squalor for pensioners or look like a hearse. And he succeeded. the station wagon's appearance turned out to be just as expressive. that of the sedan and hatchback Cruz. Let's look at the exterior Chevrolet ‎ Cruze station wagon on the picture. Just below photos of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon interior. Despite the increased size, the car has not lost its dynamic appearance. The rear part is worked out to the smallest detail, which is worth the spoiler alone, which is an integral part of the image of the Cruise SW. Let's look at the photo of the station wagon.

Technical characteristics of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon

Characteristics of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon are quite different from the characteristics of a sedan or hatchback due to the different dimensions, weight and shape of the car. The car has become longer, the trunk is more spacious, especially if the rear seats are folded down.

Concerning power units For Russian version Chevrolet Cruze station wagon, there are some features here too. Let's say there is no Ecotec 1.4 liter turbo engine, which is offered in a sedan or hatchback. Only 1.6 and 1.8 liter naturally aspirated petrol units are available. At the same time, the engine with a displacement of 1.6 has more power. In the station wagon it produces 124 hp. for a sedan or hatch, the power is 109 horses. The engine was boosted because the Cruze station wagon has a large mass. The most interesting thing is that in Europe the Chevrolet Cruze SW is offered with two diesel engines of 1.7 and 2 liters.

The Chevrolet Cruze station wagon has a front-wheel drive transmission, like other cars in this family. You can choose from a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. At the same time, in the sedan and hatchback the automatic transmission is available in the 1.6-liter engine, and for station wagon buyers it is possible to install only a manual transmission. If you want an automatic, you will have to take it in combination with the 1.8 liter engine.

The wheelbase of the station wagon, hatchback and sedan is the same, so the cars are not much different inside. Road Chevrolet clearance The Cruze station wagon in Russia is 16 centimeters, but in fact it is slightly smaller. This is not a crossover after all. As for the trunk of the Cruze station wagon, its volume is 500 liters, while that of the sedan is 450 liters. But this figure is up to the shelf, but if you remove it and load it up to the ceiling of the car, then the real volume is noticeably larger.

Official video presentation of the Cruze SW station wagon from the manufacturer.

Actually, if the sedan was originally created for global, including emerging markets, then Cruz station wagon primarily aimed at European consumers. It is in the EU that there is good demand for cars of this class. In our country, the car will not be in great demand even despite its interesting technical characteristics. Moreover, in this niche there is already

In contact with

Although they say that beauty is a transitory thing, however, in relation to Chevrolet Cruze given the statement hardly works. Once the image was brought to life, it turned out to be so successful that even after 4 years of life, the number of fans of the model does not decrease.

In Russia it is even growing. In 2012 alone, more than 63 thousand compatriots got behind the wheel of the new Cruze. Not wanting to remain stuck, the automaker recently introduced a universal family modification to our market. If dealers are smart and find the right words for propaganda, the Cruze Station Wagon, according to estimates from the Russian GM office, will be able to sell 6-8 thousand units this year.


This may not be the largest proportion among the 3 types Cruze bodies. Let's say the same Ford station wagons Focus (share - 20%) and Kia Ceed (almost a third) are a little more successful. However, for Korean Chevrolet variant Cruze SW is a debut in the “family” unit of the popular golf class. And who knows, maybe in a year or two they will focus on him.

In one of dealer centers GM, where we contacted immediately upon returning from Croatian Cruze test Station Wagon, noticed that in the first four weeks they managed to place a good dozen orders. Almost all new buyers turned out to be people at that very age when the desire to have a beautiful and spacious car for family trips with luggage prevails over the uncontrollable emotions of high-speed travel.


Lyudmila Ostapova, product manager " Chevrolet Russia”, this is how the portrait of the main consumers of the Cruze Station Wagon characterizes: men aged 42-43 years (give or take), who understand a lot about automotive practicality. At the same time, the expert says, these people are ready to talk to the machine in a modern language. In relation to the Cruze Station Wagon, this is provided by the MyLink multimedia system. This is the trump card that Chevrolet constantly flaunts today, emphasizing that its competitors similar system not in the arsenal.

A lot has been said about MyLink, so there is practically nothing to add. Let us just remind you that the system connects to your smartphone and provides convenient access to audio and video files that can be played on a 7-inch touch display. You simply select the playlists you would like to listen to. When the car is stationary, the display can be used to view photos and videos. On this moment MyLink, unfortunately, is not friendly with navigation - it is not trained in Russian. However, this gap will be filled in soon.


MyLink, according to Lyudmila Ostapova, is not as expensive as you might think. The difference in the cost of cars with and without it is 5,400 rubles. For now, the system is available only in the top version of the station wagon - LTZ ( from 782,000 rubles), but this is also good, since the related sedan and hatchback do without it.

Chevrolet Russia says that when offering the Cruze Station Wagon, sellers should focus on MyLink. However, in a conversation with representatives of dealership centers, I did not hear that they somehow follow this setting. And in general, this name came up only because a leading question was asked. In the conversation, the sellers mainly focused on the 1.6-liter engine, which, again in comparison with the sedan and hatchback, has 124 horsepower, not 109.


Upon arrival in Zagreb, sitting behind the wheel of a 124-horsepower station wagon, the first thing I remembered was . Then the car “revealed” in all its potential, and therefore there was no need to expect any revelations from the Croatian run. Except that then it was a dry and blooming summer, but this time I had to plunge into an almost Russian winter in the Balkan March. Therefore, the road and climatic conditions of the proposed route now turned out to be much more difficult.

It’s probably illogical to re-voice the sensations from the drive abilities of the station wagon, so I refer you to last year’s test ( see link above). I’ll just note briefly that I liked the “car” again for its handling habits, assembled suspension and an appropriate level of comfort, which, in addition to MyLink, is provided by leather trim. By the way, it is made in a new brown version for the model. I can say that this is a very successful design look at the interior. In addition, it is not easily soiled.


The rear, to repeat what was said a year ago, is spacious. During the current presentation, Chevrolet Russia managers turned out to be more substantive, noting that in the area of ​​legs and shoulders, the Cruze Station Wagon will give odds to its Ford counterpart. It seems that it is not surprising, because the dimensions of our hero are among the most respected in the class (4675x1788x1477 mm, wheelbase- 2685 mm). And the yard boy understands that this is an application for the older “D” segment.

Since this is a station wagon, the spaciousness is impressive luggage compartment- 1478 liters with the rear seatbacks folded down (60:40). I wouldn’t be surprised if over time I see Cruz cars on the streets, decorated with taxi checkers.


The roof rails can withstand a 100 kg load. If the riders are in " complete set"and cargo under the ceiling, then the declared 156 cm of ground clearance will be forced to "sit down." And it will become a little harder for the 1.6-liter engine to transfer its energy to the “17th” wheels through the 6-speed automatic transmission.

Therefore, if you know that you will use the Cruze Station Wagon as “working” as possible, it is worth taking a closer look at the 1.8-liter version. It is, after all, more powerful (140 horsepower) and drives faster. The unit, in principle, is the same as that found on the sedan and hatchback, only “tailored” to Euro 5. It can be offered with both a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission.


Do you think this is not your option? Then wait for autumn - by the time the leaves fall they promise an alternative 1.4-liter turbo engine a la Opel. The power is the same, 140 horsepower, but with this engine the Cruze Station Wagon will drive the most vigorously, demonstrating intense turbo boost in the upper rev range. So there will be no diesel, beloved in Europe - this is the official position of Chevrolet. Otherwise, company representatives say, the cost of the station wagon will be prohibitive, which will harm its market prospects.

And this is very important point to promote the Cruze Station Wagon. Along with the advantages we have voiced, the Chevrolet station wagon has another competitive advantage - it is relatively inexpensive compared to its competitors. Or, to put it another way, a high-capacity car is worth the money. Today's minimum asking price is 665,000 rubles(LS trim). It is clear that we are talking about a 1.6-liter engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The database includes 2 airbags, air conditioning, ABS, heated seats, front windows, central armrest rear seats, steering wheel height, driver's seat adjustment in 4 directions, CD/MP3, etc.


It’s interesting that in conversations with me, dealership managers kept trying to avoid discussing the starting configuration of the station wagon. According to them, the car is of interest to consumers in mid-spec LT, whose cost starts from 710,000 rubles. There are alloy wheels, 6 airbags, all electric windows, fog lights, leather gearshift lever, music control on the steering wheel and a number of other items.

Demand for the LTZ version is expected, but, as sellers say, not so active. Wherein this package more interesting in terms of equipment: ESP, cruise control, R17, rain and light sensors, parking sensors with a rear view camera, MyLink, keyless access to the interior (the hatchback and sedan will receive it only in the fall). Leather interior trim is an option.


What words suggest themselves that sum up all of the above? Probably about making a smart choice. Judge for yourself. you dreamed about beautiful car? There she is. Required spacious salon and a spacious trunk? Best option can't imagine. Need a fancy entertainment gadget? MyLink is at your service. And this whole bouquet, we note, is at a real cost.

There is someone to compare with

In principle, there are not so many station wagons inhabiting the C-segment with similar power indicators. Let's take only 3 for comparison current car.

Ford Focus Wagon . Dimensions: 4556x1858x1472 mm. Trunk volume: 476/1502 l. Basic version Trend with 1.6-liter gasoline engine(85 hp) and 5 manual transmission is priced at 649,000 rubles. With the same engine displacement, but in the power version 125 hp. a station wagon costs RUB 685,000.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer longer than the Ford by 14 cm, while the useful trunk volume with the seats folded is 1550 liters. The starting equipment of Essentia with a 1.6-liter engine (115 hp) and a 5-speed manual transmission costs RUB 723,900. Maximum version Cosmo - 814,900 rub.

Kia Ceed SW. Dimensions: 4505x1780x1485 mm. The engine is also 1.6-liter, but with a capacity of 129 horsepower, coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission. Starting price - 679,900 rubles. True, until the end of April 2013 there is a special offer, according to which the station wagon is available at a minimum cost of 649,900 rubles.

Test drive Chevrolet Cruze SW: smart choice

In Russia it is actually growing. In 2012 alone, more than 63 thousand compatriots got behind the wheel of the new Cruze. Not wanting to remain stuck, the automaker recently introduced a universal family modification to our market. If dealers are smart and find the right words for propaganda, the Cruze Station Wagon, according to estimates from the Russian GM office, will be able to sell 6-8 thousand units this year. This may not be the largest share of the 3 Cruze body styles. Let's say the same station wagons Ford Focus (share - 20%) and Kia Ceed (almost a third) are a little more successful. However, for the Korean Chevrolet, the Cruze SW variant is a debut in the “family” unit of the popular golf class. And who knows, maybe in a year or two they will focus on it. At one of the GM dealer centers, where we went immediately after returning from the Croatian Cruze Station Wagon test, they noticed that in the first four weeks they managed to place a good dozen orders. Almost all new buyers turned out to be people at that very age when the desire to have a beautiful and spacious car for family trips with luggage prevails over the uncontrollable emotions of high-speed travel. Lyudmila Ostapova, product manager at Chevrolet Russia, characterizes the portrait of the main consumers of the Cruze Station Wagon: men aged 42-43 years (give or take), who understand a lot about automotive practicality. At the same time, the expert says, these people are ready to talk to the machine in a modern language. In relation to the Cruze Station Wagon, this is provided by the MyLink multimedia system. This is the trump card that Chevrolet constantly flaunts today, emphasizing that competitors do not have such a system in their arsenal. A lot has been said about MyLink, so there is practically nothing to add. Let us just remind you that the system connects to your smartphone and provides convenient access to audio and video files that can be played on the 7-inch touch display. You simply select the playlists you would like to listen to. When the car is stationary, the display can be used to view photos and videos. At the moment, MyLink, unfortunately, is not friendly with navigation - it is not trained in Russian. However, this gap will be eliminated in the near future. MyLink, according to Lyudmila Ostapova, is not as expensive as you might think. The difference in the cost of cars with and without it is 5,400 rubles. So far, the system is available only in the top version of the station wagon - LTZ (from 782,000 rubles), but this is good, since the related sedan and hatchback do without it. Chevrolet Russia says that when offering the Cruze Station Wagon, sellers should focus on exactly on MyLink. However, in a conversation with representatives of dealership centers, I did not hear that they somehow follow this setting. And in general, this name came up only because a leading question was asked. In the conversation, the sellers mainly focused on the 1.6-liter engine, which, again in comparison with the sedan and hatchback, has 124 horsepower, not 109.
