Ground clearance Chevrolet Cruz

Ground clearance is one of the most important characteristics of a car that our customers are interested in during their acquisition. Such attention to this parameter was provoked not by the best quality of domestic roads.

Ground clearance is an important indicator, directly influencing the passability of the car. In urban conditions to feel a low landing the car is helped by the recumbent policemen or a high curb in the parking lot. Moving off-road or country bumpy and snow-covered streets, a car with a small clearance constantly draws a "skirt" and from time to time strikes a protective plate. Such attacks are not critical, but rather unpleasant for both the driver and his passengers.

But it is the low ground clearance "Chevrolet Cruz" that makes the car more spectacular and expensive compared to its competitors. "Chevrolet Cruise" - a new car class "C", which replaced the Chevrolet Lacetti, which is very popular among domestic motorists.

From its predecessor the car differs in dimensions (more universal and proportional forms). In addition, it is distinguished by a quality assembly, its own exclusive style and relatively low cost, which makes Chevrolet Cruz affordable for a large number of people.

The car is equipped with a new gasoline engine, which is produced in 2 variants: with a 1.6-liter unit and a 109-horsepower (acceleration to 100 km / h in 12.5 s) and a 1.8-liter engine with a power of 141 horsepower (100 km / H - for 10 seconds). In addition, the Chevrolet Cruise can be equipped with both a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The body structure of the car provides excellent dynamics, low noise and vibration. Four airbags guarantee a high level of protection for passengers. "Cruz" can be equipped with additional equipment such as the ABC system, air conditioning, mirrors with electric drive, immobilizer, heating, seat heating system, central locking with PU. For an additional fee, all this can be installed on the purchased car.

The ground clearance of this model, according to the official specifications, is 160 mm. These data are still overestimated, because the protection of the engine was not taken into account, without which it is obviously dangerous for us to travel. It was also necessary to take into account the plastic "skirt", placed under the front bumper. In connection with all this, the ground clearance is reduced to a rate of 140 millimeters.

The clearance between the "back" of the machine and the road surface is 200-220 millimeters. It can not be said that this will be enough for off-road driving, since the indicator is relatively low.

"Chevrolet Cruz", whose ground clearance is 140 millimeters, will approach urban driving, but to off-road it is clearly not adapted.

Motorists love this model for high quality, good performance and price, which is quite consistent with this machine.

There are 3 car configurations available: Base, LS and LT - which differ in engine power (104 "horses" in Base and 141 horsepower in the other two trim levels).

The cost of "Chevrolet Cruise" is from 570 thousand for the basic equipment to 740 thousand for the model, completed with all sorts of additions.
