Chevrolet Cruze [2014-2016] User Reviews

Amazing looks, comfort and fuel efficient...
Far better than Skoda Octavia... 
Should change lot of thinking for the Brand ...
If the cost would be have been little less; 1lack or so would have made major difference...
Road tax is killing - close to 1.92L and insurance is  32K.

Compare to skoda and   honda civic..  honda with 1.8 engine cost 14.5, 15.5 and 16.5... where cruze is 2L engine with 13.5 and 15.5 on road...... my vote goes to CRUZE....
MIlage of close to 18km... awsome style.. very manly feel...Interiors can be little better.. for15L atleast provied good lather seats....

When the Indian market started capitalizing on big cars thru Civic, Laura, Corola and Accord, this car should have been in race. As usual GM has gifted safety and sturdiness with this car along with its stunning looks and all new killing design. The car has got awsome power and shoots to 100 KMPH in 9-10 seconds; it's a pleasuer to drive. Pricing is intelligent and will give tough competition to others in the segment. GM can think of taking battle with car biggies now like Honda, Skoda and Toyota in India with this new car. How much maintenance is required will be seen in future but improved network can solve lot of problems now. Over all the car is a steal...

I  bought the car 1 year ago and the next day when i brought the car from the showroom white smoke started coming from silencer took it to workshop they replased the engine and after few months the injector started giving trouble and there is no responce from workshop.

I would suggest u all never ever go for cruze u will cry alway. like I am.     

And the company will make u cry when u call them they will pick ur call and after knowing the problem they will not pick ur call. I have faced these problem and so I am suggesting u all not to go for cruze. I am wating to sell my cruze soon as posible. Very bad experince with the car I had and if u all want to be safe dont go for cruze waste of money.

paisa laga doge aur gaadi pe char nahi pa oge thik tarike see.

Looks onlyEngine problem

i haven't sat in this car so my review can be a bit bad,i'm writing this by watching videos on youtube and they say state this car is stunning. The car looks stunning from every angle and has coupe like styling,the dashboard is very good and all the controls are were you need them to be,but its bad on legroom but it wont matter as most of the car buyers of this car will have drivers,the car is going to come with a 5speed manual transmission,the engine is the same one as in the captiva,top speed 200 kmsph and goes from 0 to 100 in 9 secs. this car is surely going to be one to watch out for beware laura and civicstyling in both interiors and exteriors,spacoius tofuel economy,a bit bad on leg room

Exterior

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 

Final Words

dont expect the excitement of buying a new car with Chevy. when i drove out with the new car, i had a sense that the saga and the hardship of buying a car is finally over. I bought from KSM auto and realised the car was not even cleaned properly. they later on sent someone to take it for a complete wash.

the other dealers also dont look professional at all. i had to ask AVK auto (another dealer) to refund the advance amount .

My other friends who were also buying similar range cars were so disgusted with this experience, they chose better and opted for a Japanese and a European model with great dealer support.

Areas of improvement  

GM needs to overhaul their dealers in Mumbai. Alternately, separate dealers across car segments. 

 

good looks, user friendlyterrible pre sales, no rear ac vents

We bought cruze in 2014,that time car seems to quite expensive but we had a good deal by showroom. Very comfort riding better than maruti Suzuki. Good looking with sun roof top. Servicing and maintenance wow that part is expensive and very rare to find Chevrolet parts near by market. I will give 4 stars.

Exterior

 Looks like a beast. Can easily differenciate between all chevrolet cars and not like VW where all cars seem to be Polo's from front.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Funky when compared to laura, laura has classic interiors. Its just a matter of taste if you like Funky or Classic.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Amazing engine performance, fuel economy is 10-11 in city and 13-15 on highways because of 6-speed auto. At touchdown in automatic 0-100 is reached at 8.65secs as compared to 9.some odd secs in manual.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality good at high speeds, steering wobbles after 120kmph but that can be taken care by tilting your sun roof, the air doesnt hit the little inverted rear spoiler at the back and car becomes stable after 120, steering stops wobbling.

Final Words

 Very good car if you drive it yourself, true driving enthusiast's car. Laura or New Jetta are not so involving to drive and are good if you are chauffer driven.

Areas of improvement  

 I bought diamond white color and there seems to be some problem with that specific paint, i see black marks of some kind at many places, this paint seems to absorb black color marks. Have done 26000kms on it.

 

No turbo lag when compared to manualCant move car in P (Parking)

Exterior Good manly and stuborn look from outside, nicely designed head and tail lamps, excellent finish  

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Luxurious leather upholstry, cockpit design of the front is very appealing, a complete new dimension of a sports car, front and rear A/c is very effective.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth engine, derives tremendous power of 150 bhp, 0-100 in 6.5 seconds, fuel economy in city 11.5 Kmpl and on highway 18-19 Kmpl, gear shift is really easy, cruise control is device is very reponsive.  

Ride Quality & Handling I bought this car immediately after its launch in Dec.'2009. I test drove almost all the cars in the segement including Honda Accord and Skoda Superb but the pleasure of driving this car was immense. It is almost now 2.5 years and the car is absolutely trouble free.  

Final Words Very responsive engine, maintenance free, easy to manouver, value for money, GM's best car ever produced

Areas of improvement Could have added blutooth device on the steering wheel.

Luxurious interiors, tremendous power, stuborn look from outside, spacious, good mileageBlutooth missing

 

Exterior The Car has aggressive looks. Sure the Civic is the most beautiful car in this segment but this car has a class of it's own. The rear can look a little strange for some people but all in all the car has very bold looks which give it disntinctive road presence

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great Music system [6 CD changer].Auto Climate Control,Instanteaneous and average fuel consumption,DTE ,Very Powerful Aircon,Cruise Control, Rear legroom is not generous but is sufficient. The seats are perfect. Push-Button start truly is a revolution. You don't need to fumble around for a key.Just tuck it away in your  bag or denims and that's sufficient for you to start the car,stop it , lock it ,unlock it.No need to press buttons to lock /unlock your vehicle and to turn the key to ignition position to start it.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  The best thing about this car is that it's powerful as well as fuel-efficient. Achieving 18kpl on highways is routine plus it's diesel, you hardly spend money for fuel.The only downside is the clutch springs back at you when you start the car and engage 1st gear.Once you've moved on from the first gear to the higher gears springback isn't a problem at all. After some practice,the springback in 1st gear isn't a problem.

Ride Quality & Handling Maybe,not the best handling in its class but is a solidly built car and drives around well. Stable at high speeds and reaches these speeeds effortlessly without grunting at all.

 

Final Words Great Car ,truly is the perfect car for Cruising.I've done 4000+  and no worries whatsoever.

Areas of improvement Rear Legroom and the springback clutch nothing else. Lack of USB port is not really an issue.
