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.

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.
The Chevrolet Cruze is a popular passenger car from the Korean automobile manufacturer. This machine is considered one of the best, because it meets modern standards, pleases with high quality and reliability. You need to understand that every driver is obliged to carefully study the design features of the Chevrolet Cruze and combine them with technical parameters.
Basic technical data
The Chevrolet Cruze has the following dimensions:
- length - 4597 mm;
- height - 1477 mm;
- width (excluding mirrors) - 1788 mm;
- wheelbase - 2685 mm.
Attention! In this case, motorists can count on a fuel tank with a capacity of 60 liters. In most cases, fuel tanks are 40, 50, 60, 70 liters, and this indicator determines the dimensions of the vehicle and its class. For example, a small car may have a 30-liter tank, medium-sized models - 50-60, full-size - 70. You can guess that the Chevrolet Cruze is a reliable medium-sized car.
Many novice drivers believe that the volume of the fuel tank is not one of the most important indicators. However, fuel consumption indicates that this opinion is a banal misconception. Of course, knowing the average fuel consumption allows you to understand how many kilometers a full fuel tank will suffice. In addition, on-board computers guarantee the ability to find out current information and monitor the amount of gasoline remaining. In fact, the volume of the fuel tank is an important indicator, since it largely determines how comfortable and easy it will be to plan various trips in the Chevrolet Cruze.
Important! In 2012, a major restyling of the Chevrolet Cruze was carried out, which remains popular to this day. Now motorists can choose a sedan, hatchback, station wagon. A 60-liter gas tank is available for each vehicle modification. After only 5-7 liters of fuel remain in the tank, the low gas light may come on and you will need to take care of refueling the car. Many experienced drivers note that the Chevrolet Cruze tank volume is optimal even for fairly long trips.
How to fix a leak
A car gas tank can start leaking in various situations. In any case, prompt repair of the car tank is required to eliminate the existing malfunction. Even if there is a small scratch on the sealed structure, gasoline will leak and only timely contact with specialists will guarantee further safe driving.
Motorists note that driving even short distances with a leaking gas tank risks a fiery fire and any unpredictable consequences on the road. The only way out of this situation is to promptly carry out repairs to restore the tightness of the car tank.
It is imperative to drain the fuel from the gas tank. If the gas tank is ordinary and a hose is inserted into it, the fuel can be drained quickly and efficiently. In this case, you just need to insert the hose, lower it a little lower and pull it slightly towards you. After this, the gasoline will be safely drained.
On modern cars, gasoline cannot be drained, so Chevrolet Cruze owners should contact a workshop specialist and take care of repairs. The only way to get rid of the existing fuel, which sometimes threatens to catch fire, is to unscrew the fuel pipe or use a punched hole to drain. Only masters know how to carry out repairs successfully and easily.
Advice! The simplest gas tank repair also turns out to be life-saving. For example, you can use a screw or bolt, or a small piece of leather or rubber. This option is only possible with a small hole. If a screw is used, you will need to put a leather or rubber gasket over it and screw the hole into place. After the repair has been carried out correctly, you can fill the tank with gasoline. However, even such actions do not allow you to refuse to contact the service station.
If the problem turns out to be specific to the car owner, you just need to find out how you can successfully fix the problem. The best and most reliable way is to weld the gas tank, but the thin steel structure must be processed taking into account numerous nuances. If desired, the structure can be soldered, and the subsequent service life will be calculated in years. It is important to note that solder with the metal of the tank results in a galvanic connection, resulting in a destructive chemical reaction. The sealed area will need to be carefully painted over, and the inside covered with epoxy resin.
Successful repair of a Chevrolet Cruze gasoline tank guarantees the restoration of the tightness of the structure, as a result of which the risk of fuel leakage is eliminated and travel by car becomes safe.
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, roof cargo) because of them there is a lot of air resistance, which accordingly 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.

Reviews on the Internet about the consumption of the Chevrolet Cruze are very different. It is often unknown how people calculate fuel consumption and how correct the calculation of gasoline consumption is. It is possible that reviews of low consumption were paid for by the manufacturer, and reviews of high consumption were paid for by Cruise’s competitors. I took my fuel consumption measurements and will describe in detail how I measured them.
There are two ways to measure a car's fuel consumption.
1. Measure the distance the car will travel after using a full tank. You need to know the volume of the fuel tank.
2. Request data on average consumption from the on-board computer, if available. The Chevrlet Cruze LT 1.8 has a computer. By turning the wheel on the left steering column lever, you can display data on average fuel consumption, on the current consumption at the moment (useful to know in which situations the engine consumes the most fuel).
I should immediately note that I measured the flow rate at . The running-in mode has not yet ended, I try to get under way and pick up speed smoothly, trying not to raise the tachometer needle above three. I drove both around the city and on the highway up to 100-110 km/h. We can assume that there was a mixed regime. Didn't use the air conditioner.
I filled the full tank of 95 at Lukoil at the 70 km mark. The yellow light came on at around 590 km (a few kilometers earlier it came on briefly a couple of times). Cruise's fuel tank capacity is 60 liters. We count. 590-70=520km - this is how much the car traveled from the gas station to the yellow light. Divide 60 by 520, we get 0.115 liters per kilometer. This means that Cruise consumes 11.5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.
Let's say that after the light came on, there were 5-10 liters left in the tank. In this case, we get 60/530=0113*100=11.3. Not a big difference.
As for the computer's performance, I don't know how much you can trust it. In the current fuel consumption mode, the computer often shows illogical numbers. For example, when you press the gas pedal harder, the current consumption may be less than when you pressed less gas and vice versa.

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!

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
