GM, seeking to change the perception of the brand, seemed to achieve his goal, creating an original and practical car for consumers with average

Furnished the year since the start of sales in the Russian Chevrolet Cruze market. Dealers and representation will be judged on the market success, our business will fix the features and results of long-term operation of the car.

Perhaps a small monthly mileage for someone else, it still allowed to conduct objective calculations of the material load after purchasing a car in the LT picking with a 140-strong motor volume of 1.8 liters and a manual transmission. In addition to the daily rolling, the editorial forces, in the conditions of the polygon, some test measurements were removed, directly included in the operating conditions.

For emergency braking with 100 km / h and 140 km / h Cruze, you can put a solid well, although the result and low 40 and 80 meters, respectively, but the temperature of the brake disc surface remains in area 150 in both cases. Infertility to overheating and stability is a plus in a piggy bank of practicality. When performing overtaking on Cruze, it is possible to concern in advance the moment of overclocking and space to complete the maneuver, because the objective, expressed in numbers, and subjective indicators, expressed in the amount of passenger nerve cells spent, talk about satisfactory elasticity of the 4th and 5th gear. For a more confident advance on the oncoming lane, it is worth moving to the lower transmission, for example, the third.

Charm, if you can say, a manual gearbox is not only in the cost of buying a car, but further during operation, since the MCP allows you to more individually approach the issue of fuel economy. The average consumption on the Chevrolet Cruze during the monthly use of the vehicle was 8.6 liters per 100 km. Test measurement with smooth accelerations, when the maximum engine twisting basically barely reaches 2000 revolutions, and without sharp braking, with a calculated smooth slowdown in front of the traffic light or a crossroads, showed consumption a little more than 6 liters per hundred.
