The Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 MT is the version identified on this page. What follows covers ordinary ground: what people ask of a car in daily driving, using controls, and carrying passengers or bags.
1 generation · Sedan
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
190 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Manual
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
79 × 81.5 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1598 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
5
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
124 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
91 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
11
Maximum power rpm
6400 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
154 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
4200 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
12 s
Engine power system
Distributed injection (multi-point)
Number of cylinders
4
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

CO2 emissions?
The amount of carbon dioxide released per kilometre under a standardised test. Lower figures usually go hand in hand with lower fuel consumption. Glossary entry

Driving range, maximum?
The distance an electric or plug-in vehicle can travel on a full charge under a stated test cycle. Temperature, speed and load change the real result. Glossary entry

Wheelbase?
The distance between the centres of the front and rear wheels. A longer wheelbase usually gives more cabin space and a calmer ride; a shorter one helps agility and parking. Glossary entry

Front track width?
The distance between the centres of the two wheels on the same axle. A wider track generally improves stability in corners. Glossary entry

1818 kg
Curb weight?
The weight of the vehicle with all standard equipment and fluids but without passengers or cargo. Glossary entry
1305 kg
Ground clearance, maximum?
The gap between the lowest point of the underbody and the road. More clearance helps on rough roads and steep driveway ramps. Glossary entry
Not provided

Engine and Transmission
Drivers weigh priorities differently. Someone mostly covering town routes with frequent stops values easy low-speed pulling, while regular motorway use puts more emphasis on settled cruising, and the mix between them shapes what matters day to day.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls matter because journeys involve constant small adjustments - indicators, heating, wipers - often while moving. When their positions are already known, these actions happen without thought, which is why habits formed in one car carry over awkwardly to another.
Body and Practicality
A weekly shop is a common boot-loading situation: several bags that should stay upright rather than tip over. Loading is easier when bags can be placed against the sides or behind a seatback instead of sliding freely.
