📖Chevrolet Cruze Saloon II (facelift 2019): refined South American extended-production compact saloon

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

Produced at GM's Santa Fe facility in Argentina, the facelifted second-generation Cruze Saloon continued in production long after European and North American versions bowed out. Benefiting from a bolder front grille, restyled bumpers, and updated interior switchgear, it represents a modern compact four-door built without the complexity of hybrid batteries or particulate filters. Practising thorough Chevrolet Cruze maintenance ensures this well-equipped, conventional saloon retains its impressive everyday refinement.

Power comes exclusively from the lively 153 bhp 1.4-litre LE2 turbocharged petrol engine, usually coupled with a smooth six-speed automatic gearbox. Operating with direct fuel injection and variable valve timing, it delivers energetic low-rpm pulling power while remaining frugal on long motorway trips. To preserve engine health, owners must insist on Dexos1 Gen 3 synthetic engine oil and check the electronic thermostat and PCV hoses for leaks during annual servicing.
