📖Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback II (facelift 2019): modern South American Cruze 5 and RS compact

Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback II (facelift 2019) (2018-Présent)

While North American production concluded early, the second-generation Cruze Hatchback enjoyed extended commercial success across South America, assembled in Argentina and marketed in striking Cruze 5 and Cruze RS specifications. Boasting a revised front fascia, updated LED lighting, and enhanced cabin technology, it offers a distinctive alternative to the ubiquitous Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Practising diligent Chevrolet Cruze maintenance ensures this modern, conventionally powered hatchback delivers effortless everyday reliability.

Under the bonnet, the refined 153 bhp 1.4-litre LE2 turbocharged engine powers the front wheels through a well-calibrated six-speed automatic gearbox. Delivering lively mid-range punch, this direct-injection unit demands strict adherence to Dexos1 Gen 3 synthetic lubricants, as well as routine inspection of the electronic thermostat housing and integrated PCV valve. The absence of complex hybrid battery systems keeps routine servicing straightforward, though electronic accessories require a robust 12-volt electrical supply.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The 153 bhp 1.4 Turbo engine delivers eager acceleration, excellent refinement, and straightforward non-hybrid mechanical simplicity.
  • Sharp RS styling, comfortable ergonomic seats, and modern soundproofing ensure high long-distance travel comfort.
  • A conventional petrol-and-automatic drivetrain makes routine maintenance accessible and relatively inexpensive.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 1.4 Turbo LE2: inspect turbo boost hoses, the integrated rocker cover PCV valve, and plastic thermostat housing for leaks.
  • 6-speed automatic gearbox: check for smooth cold-start engagement, steady cruising behavior, and verify transmission fluid changes.
  • 12V battery and stop-start: weak battery voltage quickly causes false sensor warnings on the digital instrument cluster.
  • Chassis components: examine front damper top mounts, wishbone bushes, and check low-profile tyres for pothole damage.
  • Cabin electronics: test the central MyLink infotainment display, smartphone integration, and reversing camera operation.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Strict oil change intervals using approved Dexos1 Gen 3 synthetic oil are essential to prevent LSPI and protect turbo bearings.
  • The 12-volt battery and automatic transmission fluid must be replaced on schedule to prevent electronic and shifting anomalies.
  • Front suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and steering alignment must be refreshed promptly if road noise or vibration increases.
