Discontinued models can be considered as old versions. According to data from Xiaoxiong Youhao: 1. Equipped with a 1.6L-121 horsepower L4 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, the average fuel consumption is 7.97 liters/100km, with a range of 6.92~9.01 liters/100km, based on tests from 2,745 owners. 2. Equipped with a 1.6L-117 horsepower L4 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, the average fuel consumption is 8.57 liters/100km, with a range of 7.41~9.73 liters/100km, based on tests from 3,104 owners. 3. Equipped with a 1.6L-184 horsepower L4 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, the average fuel consumption is 8.95 liters/100km, with a range of 7.71~10.20 liters/100km, based on tests from 245 owners. 4. Equipped with a 1.6L-117 horsepower L4 engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, the average fuel consumption is 10.10 liters/100km, with a range of 8.66~11.54 liters/100km, based on tests from 533 owners. 5. Equipped with a 1.8L-143 horsepower L4 engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, the average fuel consumption is 10.22 liters/100km, with a range of 8.75~11.70 liters/100km, based on tests from 716 owners.
The fuel consumption of older Cruze models depends on the specific model year and engine displacement. My 2010 1.6L manual transmission shows around 8.5 to 9 liters per 100km for urban commuting, which can drop to about 7 liters on highways. In heavy traffic with AC on during summer, it sometimes exceeds 10 liters. American cars tend to be heavier, and the 1.8L automatic version consumes even more fuel—a friend's similar model averages around 10 liters. Road conditions and driving habits actually impact fuel efficiency the most. My car is nearly ten years old, but with annual maintenance, regular air filter changes, and tire pressure maintained at 2.4, the fuel consumption stays stable. Honestly, it's noticeably thirstier than newer models—current Japanese cars with the same displacement typically save 1-2 liters per 100km.
