Since the first appearance on our market and onThis day, the Chevrolet Cruze model enjoys the attention of the automobile community. The reason for this popularity is that this car combines good design and reasonable price. But that is not all. The technical characteristics of the car, the most important of which is the ground clearance (clearance), allow it to successfully conquer our specific roads. Thus, designers have managed to create an inexpensive, rather stylish and technological machine, on which you can comfortably travel around the city and beyond. Today we will take a closer look at the design, technical characteristics, clearance of Chevrolet Cruz and its other features.
Undoubtedly, the exterior design of the car isone of its strengths. Thanks to the curved relief roof and the "inflated" wings, the car looks very sporty and dynamic. Many "classmates" of the model lag far behind it in design. The front part corresponds to the expensive profile of the body. The radiator grille is divided into two unequal parts by a horizontal strip, and slightly curved headlamps rush upward. By the exterior of the car is very similar to the four-door coupe - one of the most fashionable to date body types.
The Chevrolet Cruz sedan has such dimensions:length 4597, width 1788, height 1477 mm. The car in the back of the hatchback is 87 mm shorter than the sedan. The wagon is longer than the 78 mm saloon. And if there are roof rails on its roof, then it is 44 mm higher. The wheelbase of the model is 2685 millimeters. The volume of the trunk of the sedan is 450 liters, the hatchback - 413, and the station wagon - 500 liters. In the boot lid there is a full-size spare wheel. By folding the rear seats, you can increase the volume of the luggage compartment.
"Chevrolet Cruz" has earned fame in ourlatitudes not only thanks to an interesting design, but also thanks to its ground clearance, which is enough to stop in the private sector, do not worry about the bottom of the car. The ground clearance of the model depends on the body type and some nuances.
Clearance "Chevrolet Cruise" sedan officially equal to 16see In fact, this is not entirely true. Firstly, if you take into account the lower lining of the bumper, it will be less by 2 cm. Secondly, in the rear of the car the ground clearance is more due to the fact that the stern is raised. Here it reaches almost 22 centimeters.
Clearance "Chevrolet Cruise" hatchback for passportdata is 155 millimeters. If you take into account the overlap turns 135 mm. Of course, off-road with such data can not go, but for a confident ride to our cities, it is enough.
And what did the station wagon train Chevrolet Cruz for us? The clearance of this modification is the same as that of the sedan. Only here the feed is slightly lower, because of the increased load on it.
"Chevrolet Cruz" may lose moreprecious millimeters, if you set the motor protection. Without it, it is better not to travel by domestic roads. It's still minus a couple of centimeters from the ground clearance. And if you load the trunk and put 5 passengers in the car, the clearance will become even less. Therefore, many resort to increasing it. This is done in three ways:
Many will say that the ground clearance model"Chevrolet Cruz" is not so great. It all depends on what machine to compare it with. In comparison with the crossover, of course, Cruise lags far behind in terms of ground clearance, but if you compare it to the C-class competitors, the situation here is different. For example, the Citroën C4 has a clearance of only 120 mm, Hyundai Elantra 150 mm, Skoda Octavia A5 160 mm, Ford Focus 2 150 mm. And this is the manufacturer's data, which are indicated without taking into account engine protection.
The outer part was discussed, now we'll look inside.The salon also did not disappoint. It is interesting not only to see it, but also to feel it. In all here care is taken for small things. Interesting architecture and successful inserts "under the fabric" on the front panel immediately catch your eye. But there are also shortcomings, which is not surprising, given the price category in which this car is located. The whole shop is full of backlashes. The buttons are pressed indistinctly, and the glove compartment closes unevenly. In terms of interior design, "Cruz" is certainly one of the most interesting Koreans. But if you talk about the quality of the assembly, its weaknesses will immediately open.
But the interior is quite spacious.The rear row can easily accommodate three adults. The driver's seat has quite tolerable lateral support and a wide range of adjustments. The steering wheel can also be conveniently adjusted to suit your needs.
In the basic equipment of the machine is veryascetic: air conditioning for a surcharge, electric drive and heated mirrors, front windows, a simple audio system, and blowers for rear-row passengers.
In expensive modifications, everything is serious:heated front seats, climate control, multimedia system (navigator, voice control, Internet access point, rear view camera) with 7-inch touch screen, cruise control, leather interior, and lots of nice little things.
The design of the car indicates its belongingto modest, but still dynamic machines. Clearance "Chevrolet Cruise" slightly spoils this impression. Well, on the road the machine does dispel all illusions about sportiness. The car can be equipped with three motors, two of which are petrol, with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters; and one diesel - 2.0 liters of volume. Gearboxes are two: mechanics for 5 and automatic for 6 steps.
Today we examined the strengths and weaknessescar "Chevrolet Cruz": characteristics, clearance, design, capacity and so on. Impressions about this car are very controversial. Everything falls into place, if you look at the price list. The latest version of the car costs about 15 thousand dollars. With such a combination of price and quality, the machine is very attractive. Modern design, any dynamic characteristics and clearance of Chevrolet Cruise make it a good option for young families who like to show off in the city and go to nature.
