The New Chevrolet Cruze Launched With Upgraded Engine

The wait is finally over, General Motors has just launched the Chevrolet Cruze with an all new engine today. Nothing else has been changed in the existing vehicle except the engine to make it better in drivability and fuel economy. Whereas the old Chevrolet Cruze had the 1991cc engine with a five-speed automatic transmission, the new version has 2.0-litre Z series engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which is now capable of churning out 163bhp and 360NM of torque. Even though the new engine doesn't make the Cruze faster but improves the acceleration and stability, thus a better drivability.
