Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

For 7 months I traveled 20 thousand km. I have not yet found pronounced weaknesses in the Chevrolet Cruze SW. On the positive side, the design is good. The suspension holds the road well, writes turns well, moderately works out comfortably on bumps. Brakes on "5". Everything works, nothing is "buggy". From the negative: gluttonous. It consumes 15 liters in the city - the norm for a leisurely ride, while on the highway everything is fine from 7 to 8 liters, again, if you are not in a hurry. The 17th radius is contraindicated for a heavy station wagon, preferably the 16th with higher tires. I have already thrown away two wheels, this is not a cheap pleasure. Light skin and children are incompatible things. As for consumer properties, I am satisfied. 5 people sit moderately comfortably, at least 2 hours can sit quietly. 300 kg of cargo plus my weight - I'm lucky. The trunk of the Chevrolet Cruze SW is comfortable, everything folds and unfolds as it should. According to the dynamics: it accelerates sadly, while it buzzes a lot. Dynamic overtaking is not his forte, but on the empty track you can go very quickly, the road keeps amazingly. Goes 200 km / h on the speedometer. If you need a family station wagon, then you can safely take it. At least I'm satisfied.

Advantages : design. Roomy trunk. Suspension work.

Flaws : consumption is too big. Dynamics.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

Hi all. I am writing a review for those who decide to buy this car, I have a 1.8 automatic in the LTZ configuration. I will say right away that you will not find a car in full stuffing cheaper than the Chevrolet Cruze SW (before that there was a “ten” and a “Kia Rio”). The car looks modern, beauty - well, I, in general, really like it. At first glance, I can say that the machine works stupidly, but if you get used to it, then it’s normal (you just need to feel the box). There are a lot of places in the Chevrolet Cruze SW, I am 191 cm tall and there is still a large reserve, though behind me the same tall one will not feel comfortable. It comes into turns like a glove (plays a lot of weight), the steering wheel is very sensitive and light, it lies well in the hand. Music plays with a bang, the display is touch-sensitive and, despite the regular speakers, they play not badly. There are a lot of necessary and unnecessary functions (for example, I don’t need a light sensor, but cruise control helps a lot on a long journey). Well, with a complete set, I think, everyone chooses for himself according to his possibilities. About consumption: at first, the onboard one showed 17 liters in mixed mode, now 9.7 and keeps it that way to this day - this is in a mixed cycle with periodic switching on of the climate. I measured how much it eats on the highway - it’s real (it was very interesting, because they write that the Chevrolet Cruze SW eats “in three throats”). In general, in fact, for 268 km I ate 19 liters. This means that the consumption on the highway was 7 liters per 100 km, there were also traffic jams, so for me these are acceptable numbers, and I don’t know how to drive so that I can eat 15 liters each. I can say this about the suspension: small bumps, crossings, it flies by unnoticed (the 17th radius plays its role), big bumps at a speed of 20-30 km / h break through and it’s not very pleasant, who drives around Moscow and doesn’t go to the side of the road, that like everything. I have not found any cons in the car yet - I have owned it for a month. I hope this review helps those who have doubts about the Chevrolet Cruze SW.

Advantages : appearance. Practicality. Spaciousness.

Flaws : breaks through the suspension on large bumps.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2014

In two years, I dashed almost 70,000 km on the Chevrolet Cruze SW. I traveled to Poland, and to China, and to Vilyuysk in -50 frost, in one trip I drove 16,000 km. The car never failed. Of the breakdowns - at 40 thousand, the left stuffing box of the box “drank”, bought for 250 rubles, changed, there were no more problems, only consumables. Now about the pluses of the car. Consumption - highway 6.5 city 8-9 liters, after "Mark" - a fairy tale. I want to highlight the handling, it is at its best, none of my previous cars steered so well, the turns pass like on rails even at 140-160 km, no rolls or demolitions. An acquaintance who had a turbosky, driving a Chevrolet Cruze SW, was also surprised how safely and steadily Cruz “devours” turns. Roomy interior, pockets in the doors that fit two-liter bottles without any problems, a trunk of 500 liters and 1500 with the seats folded down. He carried a refrigerator, washing machine, doors and building materials. On long trips, you can sleep at full height. Different glove compartments, pockets and cup holders around the cabin, under the floor there is a full-fledged spare wheel and a bunch of compartments for various tools. Reliable suspension, our roads are not very good, I flew into pits at speeds over 140, the wheels became square, but everything is fine with the suspension. I loaded 300-400 kg into the car, I didn’t strike the bottom anywhere. Warm, I went to Vilyuysk at -50, it's hot in the cabin, it starts up without problems at -35, the 3-mode seat heating warms up with a bang, you sit like in a frying pan. The interior warms up fairly quickly. As for me, a stylish design, the exterior is also not boring. With my build of 116 kg and 188 height, it is comfortable to sit, even behind you, the steering wheel adjustments for height and reach help. The seats are also adjustable in height, except that the central gearbox panel is too wide, I touch my knee. Practical interior, plastic is easy to clean, almost does not get dirty and does not tear, unlike light velor on previous cars.

About the cons. The main disadvantage is the engine, no, it is not problematic, the usual "aspirated" 1.6 l, 124 hp. it’s just not enough for a car weighing over 1.4 tons. It is a pity that a weak engine spoils such a perfect taxiing. Strongly tightens the glass, both in frost and in rain. In the cold, when the cabin is not warmed up, something starts to tap and rattle in the glove compartment area, the interior warms up and everything is fine. The car is mainly for asphalt, the clearance is 16 cm and large overhangs, it is not worth going to the forest for mushrooms or to the river on bad roads. The lack of regular accessories, they simply do not exist, the car has a lot of all sorts of mounts for nets, curtains, etc. it's almost impossible to buy or order them. The stock wheels suck, bend at the slightest pits and start to make a terrible noise. Shumka is not very good, especially over 120 km, the arches are generally “atas” like tapping. The paint is scratched at once, by any awkward movement, although there are no chips. The DVD player does not read all formats.

Advantages : in a review.

Flaws : in a review.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

Acquired this summer Chevrolet Cruze SW LTZ MT 1.8. Initially considered a wagon body, in order to facilitate the transportation of bicycles. A couple of acquaintances have already driven sedans, the reviews were good. The money was up to 800 thousand rubles. In this body, from other options, for this money you could buy either a KIA, or a Ford, or a Hyundai. KIA did not like the look, the quality of Ford's interior just scared me. Hyundai i30 - I liked it, but the Chevrolet Cruze SW turned out to be richer in equipment and a little more. Now on the odometer 7000 km. Already went under warranty once. There was some strange noise in the engine. They fixed what the problem was, for some reason they didn’t clearly explain, supposedly something with the power steering fluid. After a few hundred kilometers, the noise began to appear again, you have to go again. I also noticed that the gears turn on poorly, especially problematic - the fourth speed (of course, maybe I'm finding fault, but this was not the case on the previous Hyundai Elantra car). Disappointed with the expense. Still, I thought that new engines are becoming more economical. While 8-9 on the highway, 11-12 in the city and this is a mechanic, with a quiet ride. Where are the declared 6.5? Salon and appearance - just fine. The only thing that upsets the driver is the not very comfortable seat, there is not enough lumbar adjustment. Pretty short armrest. I'm not the smallest height, and then I can hardly get to the checkpoint, putting my elbow on the armrest. Handling is good, confidently holds the track. But in the city there are not enough dynamics, after all, for such a heavy car you need a more powerful engine. In general, while the impression is ambivalent.

Advantages : pleasing to the eye. Comfort suspension. Sufficient dimensions. Good equipment.

Flaws : high consumption. Bad dynamics. Not a comfortable driver's seat. Poor gear changes. Warranty case for 500 km.

Chevrolet Cruze SW, 2013

Great modern car. I've been driving a Chevrolet Cruze SW for three years. Never failed. Not a single breakdown or any malfunction. Excellently painted. Three years later, it's indistinguishable from new. Spacious. I had to spend the night in it several times. Good universal. I slept like at home - spacious, warm and comfortable. It was felt that a free hotel on wheels and on the track will always be protected by the reliability of the units and a sleeping place. When buying large-sized household appliances, I did not feel any problems with self-delivery. The family is happy to go on a long journey. On the road, you can safely count on the budget only for gasoline, and not for possible repairs. In general, the car without problems. The design of the Chevrolet Cruze SW body and interior trim makes it easy to appear on this "chrysalis" in any society.

Advantages : long list.

Flaws : low for dirt roads.

In contact with

Although they say that beauty is a transient thing, however, this statement hardly works with respect to the Chevrolet Cruze. Once brought to life, the look turned out to be so successful that even after 4 years of life, the number of fans of the model does not decrease.

In Russia, it is growing at all. In 2012 alone, more than 63 thousand compatriots got behind the wheel of brand new Cruze. Not wanting to stay in the "habitant", the automaker recently brought to our market a universal family modification. If dealers are smart enough to find the right words for propaganda, the Cruze Station Wagon, according to GM's Russian office, will be able to sell 6,000-8,000 units this year.

This may not be the largest share among the 3 Cruze body types. Let's say the same station wagons Ford Focus (share - 20%) and Kia Ceed (almost a third) diverge a little more successfully. However, for the Korean Chevrolet, the Cruze SW variant is the debut in the "family" cell of the popular golf class. And who knows, maybe in a year or two they will focus on him.

In one of the GM dealerships, where we contacted immediately upon returning from the Croatian test of the Cruze Station Wagon, they noticed that in the first four weeks they managed to place a dozen orders. Almost all new buyers turned out to be people at the very age when the desire to have a beautiful and spacious car for family trips with luggage prevails over the uncontrollable emotions of high-speed travel.

Ludmila Ostapova, a product manager at Chevrolet Russia, characterizes the portrait of the main consumers of the Cruze Station Wagon in this way: men aged 42-43 years (give or take), who understand a lot about automotive practicality. At the same time, the expert says, these people are ready to talk to the machine in modern language. With regard to the Cruze Station Wagon, it is provided by the MyLink multimedia system. This is the trump card that Chevrolet is constantly flaunting today, emphasizing that competitors do not have such a system in their arsenal.

A lot has been said about MyLink, so there is practically nothing to add. We only recall that the system connects to your smartphone and provides easy access to audio and video files that can be played on a 7-inch touch screen. You simply select the playlists you would like to listen to. When the vehicle is stationary, the display can be used to view photos and videos. At the moment, MyLink, unfortunately, is not friendly with navigation - it is not trained in Russian. However, this gap will be closed in the near future.

MyLink, according to Lyudmila Ostapova, is not as expensive as you might think. The difference in the cost of cars with and without it is 5400 rubles. So far, the system is available only in the top version of the station wagon - LTZ ( from 782,000 rubles), but this is good, because the related sedan and hatchback do without it.

Chevrolet Russia says that when offering the Cruze Station Wagon, sellers should focus on MyLink. However, in a conversation with representatives of dealerships, I did not hear that they somehow follow this setup. And in general, this name sounded only because a leading question was asked. In the conversation, the sellers mainly focused on the 1.6-liter engine, which, again, in comparison with the sedan and hatchback, has 124 forces, and not the 109th.

Sitting down behind the wheel of a 124-horsepower station wagon upon arrival in Zagreb, the first thing I remembered was. Then the car "revealed" in all its potential, and therefore no revelations from the Croatian run could be expected. Unless then it was a dry and blooming summer, and this time the Balkan March had to plunge into an almost Russian winter. Therefore, the road and climatic conditions of the proposed route now turned out to be much more difficult.

It’s probably illogical to voice the feelings of the station wagon’s drive abilities for the second time, so I’m addressing you to last year’s test ( see link above). Briefly, I will only note that the “car” again liked its habits in terms of control, assembled suspension and the appropriate level of comfort, which, in addition to MyLink, provides leather trim. It, by the way, is made in a new for the model - brown version. I can say that this is quite a good design look at the interior. Besides, not easily soiled.

Behind, I repeat to what has already been said a year ago, it is spacious. During the current presentation, the managers of Chevrolet Russia turned out to be more substantive, noting that in the area of ​​​​the legs and shoulders, the Cruze Station Wagon will give odds to its Ford counterpart. It, I think, is not surprising, because the dimensions of our hero are one of the most respected in the class (4675x1788x1477 mm, wheelbase - 2685 mm). And the yard kid understands that this is an application for an older “D” segment.

Since we are talking about a station wagon, the capacity of the luggage compartment is impressive - 1478 liters with the backs of the rear seats tilted (60:40). I won’t be surprised if, over time, I see Cruz wagons on the streets, decorated with taxi checkers.

Roof rails are capable of withstanding a 100-kilogram load. If the riders are in a “full set” and the load is under the ceiling, then the declared 156 cm of ground clearance will be forced to “sit down”. Yes, and it will become a little harder for the 1.6-liter engine to transfer its energy to the “17th” wheels through the 6-speed automatic transmission.

Therefore, if you know that you will operate the Cruze Station Wagon as "working" as possible, you should take a closer look at the 1.8-liter version. After all, he is more powerful (140 forces) and rides faster. The unit, in principle, is the same as that on the sedan and hatchback, only "sharpened" for "Euro 5". It can be offered both with a 5-speed “mechanics” and with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Do you think this is not your option? Then wait for autumn - an alternative 1.4-liter turbo engine a la Opel is promised by the fall of the leaves. The power is the same, 140 hp, but with this engine, the Cruze Station Wagon will go most vigorously, demonstrating intense turbo revs in the upper rev range. So there will be no diesel adored in Europe - this is the official position of Chevrolet. Otherwise, company representatives say, the cost of the wagon will be unbearable, which will hit its market prospects.

And this is a very important moment for the promotion of the Cruze Station Wagon. Along with the advantages we have voiced, the station wagon from Chevrolet has another competitive advantage - it is relatively inexpensive compared to its competitors. Or, to put it another way, a high-capacity car is worth the money. Minimum asking price today - 665,000 rubles(LS package). It is clear that we are talking about a 1.6-liter engine and 5MKPP. The database includes 2 airbags, air conditioning, ABS, seat heating, front power windows, rear seat center armrest, steering wheel height, driver's seat adjustment in 4 directions, CD / MP3, etc.

Interestingly, in a conversation with me, the managers of dealerships kept trying to avoid discussing the starting configuration of the station wagon. According to their statements, the car is of interest to consumers in the average configuration LT, whose cost starts from 710,000 rubles. There are alloy wheels, 6 airbags, all electric windows, fog lights, a leather gearshift lever, music control on the steering wheel and a number of other items.

Demand for the LTZ version is expected, but sellers say not as strong. At the same time, this equipment is more interesting in terms of equipment: ESP, cruise control, R17, rain and light sensors, parking sensors with a rear-view camera, MyLink, keyless entry to the salon (hatchback and sedan will receive it only in the fall). Leather interior trim is an option.

What are the words that sum up all of the above? Probably a smart choice. Judge for yourself. Have you dreamed of a beautiful car? There is she. Need a spacious interior and a spacious trunk? There is no better option. Need a trendy entertainment gadget? MyLink is at your service. And all this bouquet, we note, at a real cost.

There is someone to compare

There are not so many station wagons inhabiting the C-segment with similar power indicators. Let's take for comparison only 3 actual cars.

Ford Focus Wagon. Dimensions: 4556x1858x1472 mm. Trunk volume: 476/1502 l. The basic version of Trend with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine (85 hp) and 5MKPP is estimated at 649,000 rubles. With the same engine displacement, but in the power version of 125 hp. station wagon costs 685,000 rubles.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer more than the "Ford" in length by 14 cm, while the useful volume of the trunk with the seats folded down is 1550 liters. Essentia starting equipment with a 1.6-liter engine (115 hp) and a 5-speed manual transmission costs 723,900 rubles. The maximum version of Cosmo is 814,900 rubles.

Kia Ceed SW. Dimensions: 4505x1780x1485 mm. The engine is also 1.6-liter, but with a capacity of 129 forces, aggregated with a 6-speed "mechanics". Starting price - 679,900 rubles. True, until the end of April 2013, a special offer is valid, according to which the station wagon is available at a minimum cost of 649,900 rubles.

Chevrolet Cruze SW appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, but has already squeezed out similar models with a similar body type. The reason for this is an interesting appearance, improved quality characteristics and a fairly affordable price. The car has been in high demand in Europe and the USA for several years and is now available from an official dealer in Moscow and other major cities.

Decent quality model with a bright design

Chevrolet Cruze Wagon, originally produced in Korea for the Asian market, unexpectedly appreciated in Europe, America and Australia. The prototype of the new Chevrolet Cruze SW was the Chevrolet Lacetti, which could not compete with modern car brands in many ways. The increasing popularity of the traditional sedan and hatchback variants has led to the emergence of a third body style, which can also please fans of safe driving with maximum comfort. The designers did an excellent job with their task - and the new Chevrolet Cruze Wagon turned out to be more than stylish and expressive, having a dynamic look characteristic of the entire family of cars.

Technological features, many useful functions and visual elegance

Despite the elongated body and serious roominess, the car is ideal for spirited driving. In Russia, the manufacturer offers models with an engine of 1.6 and 1.8 liters, respectively 124 and 141 hp. with., which is slightly more than the performance of a sedan and hatchback, but this is balanced by a more serious mass of the station wagon. The ride height is 160 mm, which is quite a lot even compared to some SUVs and crossovers. The volume of the luggage compartment is slightly larger than that of a sedan - 500 liters, and if you expand the rear seats, the capacity is almost tripled. At the same time, the car is least of all similar to the practical options used for various cargo transportation earlier - there is enough space in the cabin for five people, the seats have an orthopedic structure that allows you to unload your back during long trips.

The undoubted advantage of the station wagon is its technical equipment and comfortable device, even in the minimum configuration. So, the basic version of the “LS” has those qualities that are not available for the basic sedan and hatchback. LS boasts heated front seats, the ability to change the position of the driver's seat in four directions for optimal visibility, front power windows, air conditioning, a multimedia system, front airbags, anti-lock braking system ABS. The maximum equipment includes all the attributes of a business class car.

You can get competent advice from specialists and buy a car, making a choice from the new models and used cars present in stock, at the Inkom Auto dealership.

Chevrolet Cruze station wagon It began to be produced quite recently, but in a short time it gained its fans. Cause quite interesting Specifications Chevrolet ‎Cruze SW great view as you can see in the photo. We also offer to watch a video about the Cruz station wagon at the bottom of the article, as well as an overview of trim levels and current prices for Chevrolet Cruze wagon.

In March 2012, the Chevrolet Cruze was presented in Geneva in a new station wagon body. Already in the summer of the same year, the car began to appear on sale in many countries. Most interestingly, developed in Korea mainly for emerging markets, the Chevrolet ‎Cruze has become quite popular in the US. So, according to the results of 2013, almost 250 thousand cars of this family were sold there, about the same in China. For example, last year only 54,367 units were sold in Russia. Nevertheless, in the domestic car market, the car was in the top 10 best-selling.

After the appearance of the third body option, some analysts began to predict that after the sedan, hatchback and station wagon, a coupe may also appear. They immediately began to discuss competitors, Kia Surato coupe and others. But so far there is no official information about the creation of the Chevrolet Cruze Coupe, just as there are no refutations of such plans.

The designer of the entire Cruz family, David Lyon, had to try so that the Cruz station wagon would not turn into squalor for pensioners or look like a hearse. And he succeeded. the appearance of the station wagon turned out to be just as expressive. that of the sedan and hatchback Cruz. We look at the exterior Chevrolet ‎Cruze station wagon pictured. Just below interior photos of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon. Despite the increased size, the car has not lost its dynamic appearance. The rear end is worked out to the smallest detail, which is worth one spoiler, which is an integral part of the Cruz SW image. We look at the photo of the station wagon.

Specifications Chevrolet Cruze station wagon

Specifications Chevrolet ‎Cruze station wagon quite different from the characteristics of a sedan or hatchback due to other dimensions, weight and shape of the car. The car has become longer, the trunk is more spacious, especially if the rear seats are expanded.

As for the power units for the Russian version of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon, there are some features here too. Let's say there is no Ecotec 1.4 liter turbo engine that is offered in a sedan or hatchback. There are only gasoline aspirated 1.6 and 1.8 liters. At the same time, the engine with a working volume of 1.6 has more power. At the station wagon, it produces 124 hp. in a sedan or hatch, the power is 109 horses. The motor was boosted, since the Cruz station wagon has a large mass. The most interesting thing is that in Europe for the Chevrolet ‎Cruze SW they offer two diesel engines of 1.7 and 2 liters.

The transmission of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon is front-wheel drive, like other cars of this family. A choice of 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic. At the same time, for a sedan and hatchback, the machine is available in a 1.6-liter engine, and for station wagon buyers, only a manual box can be installed. If you want an automatic, you will have to take it in combination with a 1.8-liter engine.

The wheelbase of the station wagon, hatchback and sedan is the same, so there is little difference in the interior of the car. The ground clearance of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon in Russia is 16 centimeters, but in fact it is slightly less. This is not a crossover after all. As for the trunk of the Cruz station wagon, its volume is 500 liters, while the sedan has 450 liters. But this figure is up to the shelf, but if you remove it and load it up to the ceiling of the car, then the real volume is noticeably larger. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk volume of the Chevrolet ‎Cruze station wagon almost triples. Just below the detailed characteristics Cruz station wagon.

Video review and test drive Chevrolet ‎Cruze Station Wagon or Chevrolet Cruze station wagon.

The official video presentation of the Cruise SW station wagon from the manufacturer.

Actually, if the sedan was originally created for global, including emerging markets, then Cruz station wagon primarily aimed at European consumers. It is in the EU that there is a good demand for cars of this class. In our country, the car will not be in great demand, even despite the interesting technical characteristics. Moreover, this niche already has

Chevrolet Cruze SW. Price: not determined. On sale: 2012

Age limit: 30-49 years old, mostly a man and, in addition, an exemplary family man. And ambitious, because he wants the car he owns to reflect his status in society. Such a portrait of a potential buyer was drawn by the developers of the Chevrolet Cruze SW. And they were probably right. In any case, as far as Europe is concerned, where the demand for station wagons is really good. The choice of model was also successful: Cruze sales started in 2009, and by the first quarter of this year, about 1,400,000 cars had been sold in the world. Without any exaggeration, it is worth noting that the car turned out to be pretty, if not quite respectable (this is already a question about the status of the owner). A new design of the front bumper with integrated fog lights, a small perky spoiler, a spectacular pattern of rims ... In general, an energetic full face, and the profile is good. If you follow the thesis that they are met by clothes, then the meeting was clearly a success. But the designers faced a difficult task at the same time to please both young perfectionists, and satisfied heads of families, and representatives of the beautiful part of humanity (although marketers do not seem to count on the interest of the latter). Not bad and interior Cruze SW. If we talk about the general perception, then the design of the modified center console is very successful: it is moderately effective and at the same time quite functional. And in the LTZ configuration there is also a MyLink multimedia system with a 7-inch touch screen.

Chevrolet Cruze SW

Among other things, the system allows you to display information from your smartphone via Bluetooth or connect other storage media via a USB port. In the "standard" with this system, a rear-view camera is also installed, which displays a good and convenient picture for maneuvering in reverse, and a navigation system is also attached. As for the purely consumer assessment of the cabin, the first definition that comes to mind is “spacious”. And it concerns not only the driver's and front passenger's seats, made in the characteristic Chevrolet double cockpit style, but also the rear seat passengers. Moreover, it is spacious in the back in any of the dimensions: taking into account the distances from the knees to the backs of the front seats, and in terms of headroom. As for utility, fans of long-distance travel will like the Cruze SW - there will certainly be no problems with luggage placement: there are a lot of shelves, drawers, containers and niches for little things, and there is nothing to say about the size of the trunk. Rather, there is something to say: 500 liters of volume when loading the trunk to the window line and 1478 liters with the rear seats folded down and loaded to the ceiling. And if this is not enough for you, then in the basic configuration of the SW on the roof there are rails that can withstand up to 100 kilograms of cargo. But everything described above will be more appreciated by an individual who is on the right side of the age range outlined by Chevrolet marketers. And what about that 30-year-old head of the family, although he loves travel, but is not yet alien to a certain enthusiasm? Is it enough for him to move slowly from point A to point B? In fact, the Station Wagon "from Chevrolet" turned out to be universal in ideology: it was quite good both on the German unlimited autobahn and on fidgety, with a difference in heights, narrow asphalt paths. True, some of my colleagues who are fond of active driving complained that on the autobahn on the Cruze SW “you can’t really light it up”, but personally I attribute this to the maximalism inherent in those who either have not reached those very thirty, or have barely stepped over this frontier.

The interior is well balanced. Nothing extra and everything is functional

There are no complaints about how the car is controlled. Everything is very transparent here: a rigid body in symbiosis with a classic suspension option: McPherson in front, semi-independent, with a torsion beam in the back. In addition, the suspension and steering algorithms have been optimized thanks to the experience gained on the Cruze version participating in the World Touring Car Championship. This is one of those cases where motorsport can really help the “civilian” automotive industry. So, there were no complaints, but there were nuances in the settings, since not all versions of the Cruze SW use electric power steering. Hence the difference in the "feeling of the steering wheel", though not critical, but noticeable.

Passengers in the rear row of seats are spacious enough

Now about the engines. In Europe, the Cruze SW will be available with five engine options. These are, first of all, turbodiesels: 1.7 liter, 130 hp. With. with a maximum torque of 300 Nm (and with excellent efficiency - 4.5 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle), and 2 liter, with a capacity of 163 liters. With. with a torque of 360 Nm. But, unfortunately, versions with diesel engines will not be delivered to Russia - this is Chevrolet's principled position. To begin with, the Russian market will receive models equipped with gasoline "aspirated" with a volume of 1.6 (updated, in comparison with its predecessor) and 1.8 liters (already familiar from the sedan and hatchback), with a capacity of 124 and 141 liters. With.

respectively. But in 2013, we, that is, the Russians, were also promised a 1.4-liter gasoline turbo engine with a capacity of 140 hp. With. A motor that I really liked. And not because I started the test from a car with this engine. This engine (as, indeed, the 1.6 liter) is aggregated only with a manual gearbox, and rightly so. This is the only way to enjoy driving a car equipped with a 1.4 turbo. For all its agility, the motor is also very flexible: the maximum torque of 200 Nm is in the range of 1850–4900 min-1. So there is complete freedom of choice between active or calm, economical driving, and if the soul lies more in the first, then acceleration to hundreds takes less than 10 seconds. Here's the family "car" for you ... In this regard, the 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine seemed to me both more boring and even noisier at the "tops" than the 1.4 turbo. And the 1.7 liter diesel engine, which I also had a chance to meet, is very good. But needless to say, what we will not see ... In addition to all of the above, such nice little things are available on the Cruze SW, such as optional keyless entry to the cabin and engine start with a button, a Start / Stop system with the ability to activate Eco mode ... And now if and not about the most important thing, but about a very significant factor that will surely affect demand. At least in the Russian market, where the cult of station wagons, similar to the European one, has not yet been observed. Price Cruze SW will be known this fall. This will become a kind of moment of truth.

OUR VERDICT

As for sales of cruze with sedan and hatchback bodies, it seems that Russian dealers have no problems with this. But the station wagon... And it's not about the car itself, but about the mentality of our customers. A representative of one of the Western companies somehow objected to me, saying that you don’t have demand for station wagons because there is no supply. I think that in this case, the demand or lack thereof will be seriously affected by the price ...

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

The most important thing that I would like to note is the balance of qualities, which is perfect for a car with a “family” characteristic..

In Russia, diesel engines are becoming more and more popular. the European cult is still far away, but still ... and this time it was decided to "refuse".

Driving

No openings, but no obvious flaws either. Versions with electric power steering are more interesting.

Salon

Moderately elegant and moderately restrained. The LTZ is equipped with a good multimedia system MyLink.

Comfort

With this parameter, too, everything is fine. And the suspension setup is optimal, and the insulation is good.

Safety

The power structure of the body is identical to that developed for the sedan, which received 5 stars from Euro NCAP. Yes, and a set of electronic active safety systems at a good level.

Price

Not determined.

LOVE - NOT LOVE

Great

The 1.4 liter turbocharged engine was good. If a version with such a unit reaches Russia, then dads will definitely not get bored.

succinctly

The trunk is the face of a station wagon. And at 1478 liters of volume, this face of the Cruze SW looks very expressive ...

pretty

The center console in its new version looks stylish, and ergonomics issues are resolved well here.
