What is the fuel consumption of the Cruze?
2 Answers
The official fuel consumption of the Cruze is 5.7-6.3L/100km, while the actual fuel consumption is approximately 8.5L/100km for manual transmission and about 10L/100km for automatic transmission. 100km fuel consumption parameter: 100km fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The 100km fuel consumption is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental 100km fuel consumption data for the model at specified speeds. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated by repeatedly testing the values measured when the vehicle travels on designated roads at specified speeds and times, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Cruze for several years, with an average fuel consumption of 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, which drops to 6-7 liters on the highway. It's slightly higher when using the air conditioning in summer, and fuel consumption also increases a bit during cold starts in winter. I usually maintain proper tire pressure, change the oil and air filter regularly—these small maintenance tasks help keep fuel consumption stable. Avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking; steady throttle input and maintaining a constant speed are the most fuel-efficient. Different models, such as the 1.6L naturally aspirated or 1.4T turbocharged engines, have significant differences in fuel consumption. I drive an older manual transmission model, which feels decent, and keeping speeds under 100 km/h yields better results. Using higher-octane gasoline can also improve efficiency slightly. Overall, the Cruze has moderate fuel consumption among its peers, and paying attention to driving habits can easily manage expenses.
