CHERVOLET CRUZE 2017 REVIEW – IS IT REALLY suitable for urban travel

Is the 2017 CHERVOLET CRUZE really suitable for urban travel?

Priced at more than 600 million VND, this is a pretty attractive model in the C-segment segment, but it is also necessary to repeat the 2017 Cruze figure, because the second generation of the Chervolet Cruze was launched in In 2, and in Vietnam this is still the first generation, but Chervolet also has some changes in appearance and equipment to call this first-generation Chervolet Cruze the 2016 version.

In terms of the car's appearance, for a male user, the Chervolet Cruze is quite attractive when the car has a superficial appearance and overall size that is much larger than that of competitors, besides it is also possible. Point to some modern features of Cruze such as LED daytime running lights, fog lights with lenses, besides, if it's about sporty elements, Cruze has a set of taillights designed in the style. the way of the sports car model. From the perspective of female users, perhaps the Cruze will not be very attractive while keeping a rather stiff design style and a heavy rear end.

A weakness in appearance that cannot be ignored is that a series of lights still use classic halogen technology while competitors have switched to LED lighting for a long time. In addition, the overall Cruze still carries the color of the Chervolet Cruze from the 2008 generation.

Cruze's interior space

1. Stepping into the car, the space is spacious, the surfaces are designed flat and have relatively modern colors. In terms of seating position, Cruze offers a slightly low sitting position for a person with a height of about 1m74, bringing an uncomfortable front view. In addition, column A is a bit thick, which is a weakness to mention when you often move in urban areas. Besides, Cruze brings a general atmosphere to the sport thanks to the slightly cupped steering wheel.
2. Taking a look at the technologies equipped on the car, the Cruze has automatic lights, Cruze control system, rain wipers are also automatic, and a system to contact the phone and voice commands, handbrake then still the traditional mechanical type, the air conditioner is automatic 1 zone and in addition has a sunroof.
3. If talking about the modernity of Cruze compared to competitors in the segment, this model lacks a lot of interesting equipment such as electronic handbrake, even the electronic balance system is not equipped on the model. This America.
4. In the 2nd row of seats, this is an advantage that cannot be ignored when you can meet the seat down and connect to the trunk. For a person about 1m74 tall sitting in the second row, it is comfortable because there is still space in the front row. Headroom is also good and the middle of the second row of seats is not too convex, which makes the three people on the Cruze in the second row comfortable as well.
5. Another lack, is that the Cruze is not equipped with air-conditioning vents in the rear and if you travel often in urban areas, on hot days, this will be a weakness that makes the people sitting in the back seat feel difficult. bear.
6. Regarding the trunk, Cruze has a strange trunk when there is no lever to open the rear trunk, so it has to be opened with the button of the front seats. The storage space in the rear trunk of the Cruze is very large and can seat about 2 people, if you open the second row down again, the storage space is really spacious.
7. Overall, the Cruze is a pretty attractive car because its price is lower than competitors, spacious space and a bit of modern strength will often attract male users. But the weakness of Cruze can not be ignored is a series of technologies such as electronic balance or traction control, ...

With 600 million VND and the technology equipped on the car, Cruze will not be able to compete with rival cars.

Performance of Chervolet Cruze

1. Try to maintain the same speed by setting up the Cruze control system at 40km/h and then go on a slalom challenge with a distance of 15m between the stakes. With a speed of about 40km / h, the Cruze's chassis and suspension system reacted quite well, it was difficult to feel the tremors of the road surface. Because the car lacks an electronic balance system, it will make sharp steering strokes quite dangerous. Running slalom is a way to test the flexibility of the car when moving in the city, this is also a way of repeatedly describing when encountering a motorbike passing in front of you or a child running across the road. It also requires a flexible car to avoid those situations and with the slalom test, it is confirmed that the Cruze can do that task well in the city, but it is necessary to consider again that the car is absent. lots of safety technology and hence, constant sharp steering will be dangerous. However, the style of the steering wheel is a bit heavy thanks to the power and hydraulic system on the Chervolet Cruze. The Cruze's 1.8 engine produces not bad power, but the actual performance is not good because often the car will shift gears at 2000 rpm. Although the Cruze's soundproofing is good because the speed of 40km / h is not heard clearly from the road surface and almost no wind is heard, the sound of the engine coming out of the car is quite clear.
2. Regarding the Cruze's hydraulic and power steering, this can be a weakness when the user is a woman because with the hydraulic steering wheel when operating in the city, you have to often steer a lot in a single day. For long distances, women may feel a bit tired, but in return, men feel excited when operating at high speed.
3. With a speed of 60km/h, it can be confirmed that the Cruze's soundproofing is good in the segment, now the noise from the road surface or the wind is still not a problem for Cruze, only the sound of the engine sometimes suddenly changes gears. At about more than 2000 rpm, the machine is a bit noisy and can be heard quite clearly if you do not turn on the sound system. With a fairly heavy dry mass and 1.8 engine without turbocharger, Cruze is reporting a fuel consumption that can be said to be much larger than other 1.6 engines commonly used on current models. class C, about more than 10 liters for 100km of mixed roads. The engine is not a strong point of the Cruze because this engine block reacts quite slowly to the accelerator and when you need to find a sense of acceleration, a sporty feeling, the engine roars quite high about 6000. rpm to change gears, but it is not quick and not flexible. That is why the male block does not like this 1.8 engine, although fuel consumption is much, the power is not an impressive level of power.
4. About the Cruze's steering wheel, although it's heavy, but it's actually not too accurate, it has a small fluctuation even though the car is still going straight, but the steering wheel is still shaking, this is another big minus point with this American car.
5. When cornering at 60km / h, the Cruze's chassis responds well, but the lack of a series of safety technologies makes cornering at high speed will not really be a good choice on the Cruze.
6. The car's suspension responds well to the vehicle's mass and the Cruze's engine block, if in the city when it comes to speed bumps or small bridges, the Cruze's suspension is not too hard and not too soft. Small dramatic voices show a certain degree of certainty.
7. Cruze is big, long, wide and actually has a turning radius that is not too different from its competitors, but one downside worth mentioning is that the power steering, hydraulics is quite heavy, making those who are not familiar with the car fall into a state of confusion. head is a bit wide.
8. Test acceleration from 0 to 60km / h, Cruze will bring the engine up to about 6000 rpm and then change gears, when pressing the accelerator button and the engine at 6000 rpm is very noisy. When accelerating from 0 to 60km/h, the car shows signs of lifting its head, the front of the car is higher than the rear because the car lacks safety technology. 80km/h and crossing bridges is still very solid. When reaching the line, apply the brake at full speed, and the Chervolet Cruze has to roll for about 11m more before it can stop.
9. Chervolet Cruze is a model that is quite lazy to change when it comes to its appearance from many years, and at the same time does not update new technologies like rivals, Chervolet Cruze is also a model that is not really suitable for urban areas like other cars. Other models in the C-segment segment when the engine is not flexible and the power steering and hydraulics are quite heavy, it will be difficult to suit female users. However, Cruze also deserves praise for owning a sturdier chassis than other competitors and has a strong appearance suitable for male users.
