What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Cruze?
2 Answers
5.7L/100km. The Chevrolet Cruze is a new-generation model developed by General Motors with the goal of creating a benchmark in design and performance for compact cars, integrating global resources. This vehicle is expected to be domestically produced by Shanghai GM next year to compete in the highly competitive compact car market. More details are as follows: 1. Detail one: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain speed over a distance of 100 kilometers on the road, serving as a theoretical indicator for the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by manufacturers under controlled conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model at specified speeds. 2. Detail two: Since most vehicles approach their most economical speed at around 90 km/h, the publicly announced theoretical fuel consumption is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h.
I remember the Cruze's fuel consumption was typically between 7 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on driving habits and road conditions. In city stop-and-go traffic, it easily exceeded 8.5 liters, while maintaining steady speeds on highways could bring it down to around 7 liters. I drove the manual transmission 1.5L version, and its daily combined average of 8 liters was quite economical. For maintenance, regularly replacing the air filter and spark plugs helps maintain efficiency, and tire pressure also affects fuel consumption—too low increases drag and burns more fuel. Overall, the Cruze isn't too fuel-thirsty, but aggressive driving will push the numbers up quickly. I recommend smooth acceleration and avoiding hard throttle inputs to save a good amount of money.
