What are the body dimensions of the Cruze?
2 Answers
The body dimensions of the Cruze are 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, which are official data. The length of the Cruze refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle support plane. The Cruze is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 114 horsepower and 150 horsepower respectively. The transmission system for the 1.5L engine includes a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission, while the 1.4T model is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
I've driven a Cruze for several years, and its body dimensions are quite practical, measuring approximately 4.66 meters in length, 1.8 meters in width, and 1.46 meters in height. This size makes it very convenient for city driving, with turns not being too difficult. While parking in some tight spots requires caution, it's much easier than handling larger vehicles. The interior space is well-designed, with a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, so the rear seats aren't cramped, and there's enough legroom to stretch out, making family outings comfortable. The trunk capacity is around 400 liters, which is sufficient for several suitcases, whether for travel or shopping. Additionally, the lower body height helps reduce wind resistance, contributing to more fuel-efficient performance. Overall, I find this a very practical size—neither as cramped as smaller cars nor as bulky as SUVs, providing a stable and reassuring drive on highways.
