What are the differences between the Cruze and the Cavalier?
2 Answers
The differences between the Cruze and the Cavalier are as follows: 1. Body length: The Cruze is 14 cm longer than the new Cavalier, and nearly 7 cm wider. 2. Styling design: The Cruze features an all-black grille, while the new Cavalier adds a red line to the front grille; the fog light positions and styling designs are more distinctly different between the two models. The wheel designs also differ, with the Cruze adopting a multi-spoke wheel design and the new Cavalier featuring a five-spoke wheel design. 3. Transmission: The Cruze uses a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the new Cavalier employs a traditional six-speed AT transmission. 4. Chassis: Both models use a front MacPherson strut independent suspension, but the Cruze adopts a rear multi-link independent suspension, whereas the new Cavalier uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Additionally, the brake discs of the two models are also different.
The Cruze and Cavalier both come from Chevrolet, but they're quite different. I've driven my friend's Cavalier a few times, and it feels more like a straightforward, no-nonsense car with a rounded exterior and minimal flashy designs, focusing on practicality and economy. The Cruze, on the other hand, stands out with its Redline package, featuring blackened wheels and red accents, giving it a sporty look. In terms of power, the Cruze offers 1.0T, 1.3T, and 1.5L engine options, especially the 1.3T paired with a 6AT transmission, which delivers a punchy acceleration. The Cavalier mainly uses a 1.0T engine, which is smooth but lacks explosive power. For young people looking to make a stylish statement, the Cruze is the better choice. If it's purely for daily commuting and grocery runs, the Cavalier is about 20,000 RMB cheaper, offering great value for money.
