I've been driving a 2012 Cruze, and I remember its curb weight is approximately 1.38 tons. I noticed this figure when purchasing the car because it affects daily fuel consumption and handling feel. On the highway, it feels very stable, with no body roll during turns—especially noticeable when carrying passengers. However, the extra weight makes acceleration slightly slower in city driving, and fuel consumption is relatively high, around 8-9L/100km. I recommend paying attention to different trim levels; for example, the 1.6L manual transmission might be lighter at 1.35 tons, while the 1.8L automatic could weigh around 1.42 tons, leading to noticeable differences in real-world driving. Regular maintenance checks on tires and suspension can help balance the weight impact for safer driving, and be mindful of increased braking distances when carrying heavy loads. Overall, this weight is above average for compact cars—sturdy and durable, but don’t overlook load control.
