Expert opinion and recommendation

The Chevrolet Cruze, particularly the diesel variant, is a compelling option in the Indian market for those seeking a powerful and feature-rich sedan. My experience with the Cruze has been largely positive, with its 2.0-liter VCDi diesel engine delivering impressive performance, especially once you overcome the initial turbo lag. The engine, sourced from the Captiva, produces 148 horsepower and 327 Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful diesel sedans in its segment. The cars build quality and fit and finish are commendable, although the interior space is not class-leading. The Cruze also stands out with its excellent braking ability and respectable fuel efficiency. However, the firm ride at low speeds and the aggressive clutch pedal are notable drawbacks. Overall, the Cruze is a solid choice for those looking for a diesel sedan with strong performance and a high level of standard equipment.

Recent news and announcements

The 2025 Chevrolet Cruze, although not specifically confirmed for the Indian market, is set to impress with its turbocharged engine options, including a 1.4-liter and a more powerful 1.6-liter turbo engine. These engines offer a balance of power and fuel efficiency, with the 1.4-liter engine producing up to 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, while achieving 40 miles per gallon on the highway. I think this balance will be a major selling point if it ever makes its way to India.

Chevrolet has not announced any plans to bring the diesel version of the Cruze back to the market, especially after the Cruze was discontinued in the U.S. in 2019. However, the legacy of the Cruze diesel, known for its high torque and fuel efficiency, still resonates among car enthusiasts. I believe that if Chevrolet were to revive the diesel Cruze, it would find a niche market in India where fuel efficiency is highly valued.

The Chevrolet Cruze diesel, during its brief run, was notable for its performance and fuel economy. It was one of the few compact cars that offered a diesel engine, providing up to 40+ MPG on the highway and significant torque. For those looking for a more luxurious yet fuel-efficient ride, the Cruze diesel was an attractive option, though its availability was limited. I think the unique combination of power and efficiency made it a standout in its class.

The advanced safety features of the Chevrolet Cruze, including the rear vision camera, forward collision alert, rear park assist, lane keep assist, side blind zone alert, and rear cross traffic alert, make it a safe choice for drivers. Additionally, the Cruze comes with 10 standard air bags and a high-strength steel safety cage, enhancing its safety credentials. I believe these features would be highly appreciated in the Indian market where safety is becoming a top priority.
November 21, 2021
The Chevrolet Cruze, in its previous iterations, offered a range of technological features such as the MyLink touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available 4G LTE Wi-Fi. These features made the Cruze a connected and convenient vehicle to drive. If the new Cruze were to be introduced in India, these tech features would likely be a major draw for tech-savvy buyers.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Chevrolet Cruze was priced competitively to attract buyers in the C segment. The ex-showroom prices for the Cruze varied based on the trim levels, with the LT variant priced around 10.99 lakh and the top-of-the-line LTZ variant priced at 12.45 lakh in Delhi. On-road prices would typically include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could push the total cost to around 13-15 lakh for the LTZ variant. Given its features, performance, and build quality, the Cruze offered good value for money, especially considering its positioning against competitors like the Honda Civic, Toyota Altis, and Volkswagen Jetta.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Chevrolet Cruze diesel offers impressive mileage figures, making it a practical choice for daily driving. In city conditions, the Cruze delivers around 10-11 kmpl, while on highways, it can achieve up to 16-18 kmpl. These figures are quite respectable for a powerful sedan, ensuring that the running costs remain manageable. This efficiency, combined with its strong performance, makes the Cruze an attractive option for those concerned about both mileage and driving pleasure.

Expert Verdict

Professional reviews and expert opinions on Chevrolet Cruze (New) (Diesel)

29 Jun, 15 03:46 PM

Chevrolet's most aggressive offering for India is on its way for a change and the title comes with its launching year, the 2016 Cruze. The most powerful car of its segment has received minor updated to its current version but the New Year will bring with it an all new design and performance language to the car. The car gets a new platform, new visuals and entirely new rear portion. The bulky appeal of the current Cruze seems to fade as the new car brings sharpness to its attitude.

Chevrolet's most aggressive offering for India is on its way for a change and the title comes with its launching year, the 2016 Cruze. The most powerful car of its segment has received minor updated to its current version but the New Year will bring with it an all new design and performance language to the car. The car gets a new platform, new visuals and entirely new rear portion. The bulky appeal of the current Cruze seems to fade as the new car brings sharpness to its attitude.

Design & Style

The upcoming version gets everything new in terms of cosmetic changes. The front light gets sharper appeal, stretched more than the existing one. Chrome has been widely used around the fog lamp panels and the air intakes. The front seems to be lean and muscular than the current bull, with more fluent designing on the door panels and side body. The rear gets a bump in height with overall increase in wheelbase and total length of the car. LED lights make the car look more beautiful. The new car is amazing but lacks the command of the bulky and powerful looking older version.

Engine & Performance

The engine in the new Chevrolet Cruze is expected to stay the same in India. The 2.0 L, 1998 cc engine produces 164 BHP @ 3800 rpm and 360 NM @ 2000 rpm. The most powerful car in its segment will be more powerful as the new frame on which it’s built is lighter than the current one, making it more quick and responsive than the current offering. The international version comes with a petrol mill, which will not be launched in India due to lesser demand of petrol cars in the segment. The car will be fully loaded with technology, making it easy for high numbers in the sales volume. The transmission will be handled by a 6-speed manual and an automatic gearbox in the Indian version.

Comfort

The new Cruze will be more comfortable than the current version as Chevrolet claims a longer wheelbase with more space for the rear passengers. It comes with cruise control for easy riding and a sunroof for enjoying the weather and having fresh air at good times. The new car may get the carplay feature with its touchscreen, making it easy to connect and access your phone while in the car. It will be having all the latest technologies including the integrated maps for better navigation, voice control and the automatic transmission for an easy ride. The new design will also get a more comfortable interior for the passengers.

Safety Features

The upcoming 2016 Cruze will have more safety features than the current version. The new platform has been developed with more focus on lightweight yet rigid materials. The impact sensors around the car will keep good care of the passengers, shifting the intensity of the hit to the other parts. The car will be loaded with airbags and ABS with EBD would be standard on all variants. The vehicle management system will keep an eye on the faulty parts and warn the rider for diagnosis.

Variant & Expected Price

Most probably, the new Cruze will be offered in a diesel variant only, with a basic model and a high end fully loaded model. The high end model will also get an automatic gearbox and sunroof. The price is expected to start from INR 16,00,000.
