The air intake of the Cruze engine is located at the junction between the right front bumper and the fender. Below are the specific details about the Chevrolet Cruze: 1. Dimensions: The Cruze measures 4630mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1485mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. 2. Lighting configuration: The Cruze comes standard with LED lighting technology across all models. The sharp-looking LED automatic sensing headlights feature Chevrolet's classic dual-element design and are equipped with three-dimensional LED light conductor daytime running lights. 3. Powertrain: The Cruze is equipped with two engines, one being a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine and the other a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine delivers a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 170 Nm, while the 1.3-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm.
Last time I changed the air filter for my Cruze, I specifically studied this. The air intake is actually at the very front of the engine bay. You can see it by removing the plastic grille, right below the emblem where the black mesh part is. Air gets sucked in from here, passes through the air filter box, and then enters the engine. When washing the car, never use a high-pressure water gun to spray this area directly, as it can easily suck water in. If you're driving through water, it's best to measure the height of the air intake in advance. For the Cruze, it's about 30 cm off the ground, so don't force your way through water deeper than half the tire. My neighbor had to overhaul his engine last year due to water ingestion, and it cost him nearly ten thousand yuan.
