2 Answers
This vehicle's official MIIT fuel consumption rating is 7.1L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption for the 1.6 automatic transmission model is approximately 8 liters per 100km. Detailed information: Regarding the Cruze's fuel consumption, the 1.6 automatic transmission model's comprehensive fuel consumption is about 8 liters per 100km (actual consumption may vary depending on road conditions and driving habits, potentially higher or lower than this figure). For the Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L automatic transmission model using 92 or 93 octane gasoline, the comprehensive fuel consumption generally remains within a very narrow range. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Road conditions: This is extremely important - highway or suburban driving consumption cannot be compared with urban driving consumption. Personal driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent rapid acceleration and hard braking will definitely result in higher fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Cruze 1.6 automatic for almost five years. During rush hours in the city with AC on, it consumes about 9-10 liters per 100km, while on weekends when driving on elevated roads, it's around 7.5 liters. The 6AT transmission is quite old, and when accelerating sharply, the RPM rises quickly, leading to higher fuel consumption. It's recommended to release the throttle early when approaching red lights to coast, and use full synthetic engine oil. Avoid loading heavy items in the trunk and maintain tire pressure between 2.4-2.5 bar to save some fuel. A friend with the same model replaced the spark plugs and air filter, reducing fuel consumption from 10 to 8.7 liters, showing that regular maintenance is crucial. In hot weather, avoid setting the AC to maximum; alternating between recirculation and fresh air can save about 0.5 liters.
