Chevrolet Cruze is a very popular car in Russia. Why has it become so widespread? For an overview of the Chevrolet Cruze, equipment and prices, see our today's article.

Chevrolet Cruz car design

The appearance of the car was based on the design of classic Chevrolet muscle cars.

That's why "Cruz" turned out so muscular, massive and impetuous. The design deserves respect. The new Chevrolet Cruze received an improved front end. So, the car has got modern optics, a wide radiator grille and a raised hood. The design, one might say, is purely American. The car looks massive from every angle.

Although, as mentioned above, the Chevrolet Cruze car belongs to the C-class. In terms of dimensions, length"Kruz" is 4.6 meters, width - 1.79 meters, height - 1.48 meters. Ground clearance is only 14 centimeters. This is a very small figure for Russian roads. Nevertheless, due to the 17-inch wheels (they are available in the maximum configuration), the Chevrolet Cruze confidently copes with bumps on the road. Although the rubber profile could have been higher, reviews say.

Chevrolet Cruz interior

Salon, almost 10 years after the release, looks very modern. The Americans managed to conquer the market thanks to chopped forms, which were not previously used by any manufacturer. Now this architecture is in vogue. The massive center console with numerous “aluminum-like” inserts immediately catches the eye. Quite large here and the gear selector. Air ducts are placed vertically. In the middle is a digital multimedia display. True, it is available only in a luxury configuration. Chevrolet Cruze has a stylish instrument panel. All scales are placed in separate "wells" with a chrome trim. The front torpedo is not overloaded with buttons and other controls. Ergonomics here at a decent level.

The three-spoke chopped steering wheel is another difference between the Chevrolet Cruze sedan. The basic equipment does not include remote control buttons, but even so it does not look dull and boring. The top version has a multifunction steering wheel with all the necessary set of buttons.
