2 Answers
Chevrolet Cruze is equipped with a three-cylinder engine. The entry-level model of the Cruze comes with a 1.0T engine with a maximum power of 125 horsepower, while the high-end model features a 1.3T three-cylinder engine, which delivers a maximum power of 163 horsepower. Depending on the model, it is paired with either a manual, 6AT, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Chevrolet Cruze has a body length, width, and height of 4630mm, 1798mm, and 1485mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2640mm and a luggage compartment capacity of 430l. The dashboard adopts a wraparound structure that extends horizontally to both sides of the door panels, and features an 8-inch high-definition touchscreen, piano black lacquer panels, large-area soft-touch materials, and a mezzanine floating center armrest.
A friend asked me about the Chevrolet Monza's engine, and I happen to have researched it recently. This car has quite significant differences in engines across different model years. The 2024 model has been updated with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine across the lineup, with a maximum power of 80kW—it's the sturdy and durable type. The older models are more complicated. For example, the 2019-2022 versions used a 1.0T three-cylinder turbo engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, offering very responsive throttle feedback. There was also a 1.3T hybrid version that directly used a generator in range-extender mode, primarily relying on electric drive with the engine serving as a backup power source. If you prioritize low-end torque, go for the turbocharged versions. If you want hassle-free maintenance and lower costs, the new 1.5L is the way to go.
