Chevrolet Cruze is a Chevrolet car, which is a global project of the General Motors concern. This model is one of the most successful in the Chevrolet lineup. In the first months of sales, the Chevrolet Cruze was in fairly high demand. At least this applies to the Russian market. The model premiered in 2008, and sales began some time later. In 2009, production was launched in Russia. Initially, only the sedan of the same name was produced. It should be noted that in Japan, the Chevrolet Cruze was considered the successor to the crossover hatchback of the same name, which was produced from 2001 to 2008.
In addition to the Russian Federation, Cruz was produced in Australia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Kazakhstan and other countries. The Australian version was called the Holden Cruze. As for the American market, there the model was called Chevrolet Cobalt, which in this region for a long time remained among the first among compact C-class cars.

Chevrolet Cruze Touring
A hatchback based on the Chevrolet Cruze was introduced in 2011, and the station wagon debuted in March at the Geneva Motor Show. After this, all three body types became available. By that time, global sales of the Chevrolet Cruze had already exceeded one million units. A distinctive feature of the station wagon is a spacious trunk of 500 liters, which can be increased three times (up to 1500 liters) if the rear seat backs are folded.
Sales of the station wagon began in 2012. At that time, versions with a modernized 2-liter diesel engine, as well as a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, were already available. The first generation Chevrolet Cruze was updated only twice - in 2012 and 2014. The first time, the main innovation was the MyLynk entertainment media complex, and the next time (in 2014) the car received an appearance in the style of the Chevrolet Malibu. After Cruze left the Russian market in 2015, its sales eventually ceased worldwide. Then a completely new Cruise appeared. It is available with a 1.4-liter 153-horsepower turbo engine.

We are already renting a second car in the City. My husband and I went just to take a closer look at Mokka, but after talking with Alexey Rokhmachev we realized that it was not worth delaying the purchase. Manager Alexey explained everything very clearly, invited us for a test drive, did not impose additional options, it was very pleasant to communicate with such an employee. Good luck to your company, and Alexey will definitely receive a bonus. Thank you.

12/25/2017. I bought a Cadillac Escalade Platinum at Autocentrity on Antonova-Ovsiennko. About the car itself is a separate topic; I don’t see a better representative in this class (I moved from the Lexus LX-570)! I want to talk about people!
Wonderful, responsive, attentive - Elena Vladimirovna (head of the sales department) and Elena Ivashchenko (senior sales manager). These are professionals in their field, with a deep customer focus and simply a fireworks of ideas and proposals! Thanks to them! But!
I would like to advise management to make the moment of purchase more festive. This is not the first time I have purchased a premium class car, and in other showrooms they do this ACTION in a festive way, they cover the car with a beautiful cover and open it in front of you, with flowers, chocolate, champagne (who can...), a souvenir photo, etc. After all, the event is extraordinary, the price is high, and I want to remember it! I hope you understand me. Thank you for the car! and your employees!!!

Good afternoon
I express my deep gratitude to Alexandra Suchkova for her responsiveness and understanding of my life situation. Alexandra looked for an opportunity and found a window to get our car in for repairs before June 11, 2013.
The situation is as follows: we have a very sick seven-year-old child (cerebral palsy), on June 11 we need to go with him to the city of Yaroslavl and then back to Moscow, but the air conditioning stopped working, for a child this is a very difficult trip, and even without air conditioning, you can’t open the windows catch a cold. Alexandra did not protect herself with an official uniform, but showed truly sincere care. As a result, on June 6, we had all the problems fixed, and I left your City Center with gratitude.
I also want to express my gratitude to the receptionist; unfortunately, I don’t know his last name. An excellent specialist, attentive and thoughtful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL, MAY THE GOD BLESS YOU!
Sincerely, Alexander Ivanushkin

You need to drive the car calmly. With an aggressive driving style, when the gas pedal is pressed to the floor, after every traffic light, you accelerate until you hit the row of cars in front of you, and immediately brake sharply. Of course, this way you will finish your trip faster, but in terms of economy, with calm driving you can drive 20% longer.

Tips that help you save money, control fuel consumption for Chevrolet Cruze and more
Don’t be lazy and turn off the engine even during short periods of downtime.
When driving outside the city, you need to move at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, although many will say that 120 kilometers per hour is possible, but you won’t feel much of a decrease in speed - only 10 kilometers per hour, but gasoline will last longer.
You should try to maintain a constant speed whenever possible. To do this, cruise control can help you.
Close the windows when driving. One of the common questions is whether it is advisable to operate an air conditioner. At low speeds, turning off the air conditioning provides some fuel savings, but on the highway you should always close the windows. When driving with the windows down, resistance increases, thereby slowing down the vehicle. Therefore, more energy is consumed than the air conditioner requires in maximum mode.
Now the factors that are negative for fuel economy
Tire pressure is low. This does not particularly affect the driving characteristics, other than ground clearance, but the engine spends a lot of energy to combat the resistance of the wheels.
Devices on the roof of a car. Devices include (rails, roof racks, cargo on the roof) because of them there is a lot of air resistance, and accordingly this affects fuel costs.
Loaded trunk. If you constantly drive with a lot of weight in the trunk, your fuel costs will increase significantly. Therefore, it is better not to clutter the luggage compartment unless necessary.
You need to plan your trips, because the efficiency of a warmed-up engine sometimes increases even up to 50%. Therefore, it is better to make several trips per day than one over several days.
Check out this interesting video on this topic:
The life of the power plant and the driving comfort of the car depend on the quality and correct choice of gasoline. Therefore, you should only visit proven gas stations. The large volume of the gas tank allows you to operate the Chevrolet Cruze for a long time without refueling.
Fuel consumption on a Chevrolet Cruze with different engine sizes
The sedan, which has a 1.4 turbo engine, is the most economical of the entire model range. More “gluttonous” cars have 1.6 and 1.8 engines. liters The fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Cruze is discussed in detail in the tables below.
Below is the consumption according to the passport of a station wagon car.
The Chevrolet Cruze hatchback 1.6 requires refueling less often than with a 1.8 liter engine. Fuel consumption for different trim levels is shown in the table below
As can be seen from the tables presented above, manual transmissions have lower consumption than automatic transmissions.
The fuel tank capacity of the Chevrolet Cruze is 60 liters. The capacity of the gas tank is the same for all body types. The capacity is quite sufficient for short trips.
Recommendations for choosing gasoline for refueling Chevrolet Cruze
According to the manual, it is recommended to put 95 gasoline in the tank. This fuel is optimally suited for engine operation under varying loads. The presence of a large number of additives forces car owners to fill with lower octane fuel.
When driving on 92 gasoline, many drivers note that the full potential inherent in the engine is not revealed. This is observed on models released in both 2012 and 2014. In turbocharged engines, pistons often burn out and damage their seats. As a result, the combustion chamber does not close completely, compression drops, and the car significantly loses dynamics.
The car owner should be interested not only in the brand of gasoline, but also in the impeccability of the gas station. Otherwise, the mesh, which serves to prevent contaminants from entering the gas tank into the fuel line, may become clogged.
Easily correctable “faults” that lead to increased consumption
Owners of a Chevrolet Cruze are often faced with a situation where an increase in fuel consumption is not associated with a vehicle malfunction. This happens due to a change in driving style, previous route or weather conditions. For example, if before this most of the route was on highways, and when fuel consumption increases, the driver drives mainly around the city, then there is nothing unusual in this. Snowfall can also have a greater impact on the amount of fuel burned.
If none of the above has changed, then the first step is to read errors from the on-board computer using a diagnostic scanner.
Many drivers do not pay attention to tire pressure. At the same time, the manufacturer has recommended values, which can be seen if you open the manual. If the tire pressure is too low, greater rolling resistance occurs. This in turn leads to increased fuel consumption. In order to correct the current situation, it is necessary to pump up the tires.
The most common malfunctions leading to excessive fuel consumption
An increase in gasoline consumption is possible due to damage in the fuel system. When the car is hit by the bottom, the gas tank may be damaged and fuel will leak out of it. The neck also often cracks. In order to eliminate the depressurization of the system, it is necessary to find the leak and eliminate it.
The most common problem in the suspension is irregularities in the toe angle. The suspension may be damaged if the vehicle falls into a pothole. Very often the problem is accompanied by a specific knocking sound.
To fix the problem, you need to visit a service station and check the parameters of each axis at a special stand. If the suspension has fallen apart, it may need to be repaired and defective parts replaced.
Maintenance and consumption
Spark plugs that are not changed in time can also cause abnormal engine operation. In the most advanced cases, this causes tripping. Failure to burn gasoline due to a missed spark leads to its release into the exhaust system. This creates an additional load on the catalyst and also increases the amount of gasoline consumed.
There are also problems in the fuel system that can lead to excessive consumption. The most common of these is clogged injectors. An incorrect torch will not allow all the fuel to ignite. As a result, suboptimal combustion leads to the same consequences as with faulty spark plugs.
The oil poured into the engine and gearbox has its own resource. When it ends, the lubricating properties deteriorate significantly. If the owner is negligent, then increased load will occur in the friction units. If you delay replacing consumables, scuffing may appear and it will not be possible to eliminate increased fuel consumption by simply changing the oil. A major overhaul of the engine and gearbox will be required.
A clogged air and oil filter can also be the reason why the car owner will have to refuel more often. In the first case, the fuel-air mixture cannot be formed in the correct proportions, and in the second, the friction units do not receive a sufficient amount of lubrication. The problem can be eliminated at the first stage by replacing the filter. If they were not replaced for a long period, then significant wear of most components could occur and major repairs would not be possible.
Incorrect car upgrade
To give the car an individual stylish appearance, car owners install various body kits on it. With the correct selection of mounted elements, this has a positive effect. The car gets better handling. Many car owners engage in tuning, focusing only on the decorative side of the purchased parts; they are not interested in the practical part at all. As a result, the installed elements worsen the aerodynamics of the car and the air resistance becomes significantly greater. In this case, an increase in fuel consumption is logical. In order to eliminate excess consumption, you should remove all thoughtlessly installed stock parts.
Chip tuning is good because if the engine operation is not configured correctly, you can roll everything back to the factory settings. There is a special button in the software for this. Therefore, many owners decide to increase engine power with its help. As a result, this leads to improper operation of the power plant and excessive gasoline consumption. The same applies to the thoughtless modernization of the power unit. Installing a turbine and enlarging the combustion chamber with stock elements can lead not to an increase in the power of the power unit, but to an excess consumption of consumed fuel.
