Chevrolet Cruze is a joint venture car, which belongs to the American Chevrolet brand and is a product of SAIC General Motors Group in China. The body dimensions of the Cruze are 4614mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1485mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. The Cruze is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 92kw and a maximum torque of 170nm, with a maximum power speed of 5600 revolutions per minute and a maximum torque speed ranging from 2000 to 4000 revolutions per minute.
I've been driving a Chevrolet Monza for several years, and as an ordinary user, I can say it's not a purely domestic car but a joint venture model. Chevrolet is an American brand that collaborates with SAIC-GM for production in China, and the Monza is manufactured under this joint venture model. Domestic cars typically refer to vehicles entirely designed and produced by Chinese companies like Chery or BYD, whereas joint venture cars combine foreign technology with local manufacturing advantages, offering more affordable costs while ensuring quality. The Monza is quite popular in China because it's adapted to local road conditions and user habits, featuring low fuel consumption, high cost-performance ratio, and a comfortable driving experience. If you're considering buying a car, this joint venture approach provides more reliability, and maintenance services are more convenient. I've hardly encountered major issues during my ownership, and overall, it's been quite worry-free.
