CHEVROLET CRUZE
DESIGN
Its compact dimensions feature bold styling cues, with an arching roofline, sloping rear-pillars that give it a lean profile and a neatly styled rear deck providing up market and handsome good looks.
At the front, the large, sweeping headlamp units wrap around the nose of the car, while other design themes include a concave shoulder line, Chevrolet’s trademark two-tier grille and a restrained use of exterior trim, giving it a solid, unfussy appearance.
Inside, the car features a twin-cockpit design, with a distinct centre console dividing the front into separate areas for the driver and passenger – a styling cue taken from various iconic Chevrolet performance cars.
At launch, three engines will be offered – 1.6-litre 83 kW and 1.8-litre 104 kW petrol units, both with variable valve timing for optimal power, fuel economy and exhaust emissions.
The Cruze heralds a new era for Chevrolet, which is set to be built upon even further over the coming months with the introduction of even more new models.
STRENGHTS
So what are the Cruze’s strengths? These mainly lie in the area of comfort and space. The Cruze performs particularly well for a car of its price and size in terms of what’s known in the industry as NVH – or noise, vibration and harshness.
It is generally quiet, with low levels of road noise in particular, and has a roomy interior, which is comfortable, stylish and well equipped.
WARRANTY AND SERVICE
The Cruze comes with a Warranty and Roadside Assistance Plan of 5 years/ 120 000 km, and also a Service plan of 3 year / 60 000 km, which ever occurs first.
