This guy definitely knows what he's talking about. Well versed in Chevy technology.
Eric Cameron I agree! He was extremely articulate. Great representative for the company!
My 2014 Cruze 2LT is quite nimble, fast off the line,and efficient, the changes with economy speed and safety, rear space, styling, comfort, even more refined than mine,all good!
Andre looks sharp in a suit. I'm glad the TFL team is giving him the opportunity to get out there and do more of this stuff. Practice makes perfect and he's getting there. The Chevrolet rep was also very knowledgeable and informative. The Cruze premier looks great inside, the rear not so hot but can't wait to see it in person.
As an owner of one like the car in the video since it came out. It’s a really nice car. The comfortable and practical car I’ve ever driven.
Chevy said hey let's mix the corolla and 200C and just throw a hint of focus in. And call it CRUZE. Innovative!
troybballin14 I saw corolla first, but I do see 200, too.
troybballin14 Elentra in the front.

All cars look the same these days. Even all the crossovers. They all look like bubles
Couldn't have described it better myself! Exactly on point my friend! Haha
I love how when new cars look fairy similar it's copying. It's no! Do you ever see how most cars from the 60's look the same the 70's look the same the 80's look the same. It is innovation. The new generation brings similar things in ever brand and every model
that interior looks better than the new 2016 Honda civic and they are staying away from the CVT trend and going towards Diesel instead.....thank you Chevy.
Very well done. The design gets the best of almost everything I can tell from Honda, BMW, Toyota, Chrysler, and recent Chevy cars.
It's like a Grand Am. I love the LED daytime lights. Every Chevy should have them
They should put the 2.0 turbo in a sports version of it. Think GTI or focus ST, surprisingly economy cars can be great sports cars.
No.
Andre, you've come a long way. Congrats, you are doing well and getting better and better as a presenter and with English. That's tough, well done :)
Alan Reams Thank you Alan!
I was thinking of buying one of these but than I thought to myself this car is going to be everywhere coming from the rental fleets and I don't necessarily like that. At least this guy is very informative and good at what he does.
You can rent anything nowadays, luxury cars, SUVs, trucks, and cars.
Ken Mam Yea but you see the cruze more than anything else.
+Jonathan Washington lol but you dont see a cruze ltz rs from a rental company.
Zach Webb Yes you do, Enterprise orders them loaded with the RS package.
Actually just did a little research and called to see if I could reserve that model from enterprise and they informed me they do not have that model in my state or carry that model that they know of in that department. They told me they have the l model LS model the 1ls diesel and the l with rs package but none with the ltz rs package....
That guy sold me on one... But I'm a camaro guy. Can't wait to pre-order my 2016!
This vehicle will be in the running for my wife and I when the time comes..... I like the match of a 6 speed manual with the Diesel engine. Good going GM!
They only make it in an auto with the diesel sadly:( I got to the dealership last night and was building one to order and they don't have it:/ the L base model is very nice really, and the 158 hp and 177lb/ft of torque are nice with a good 6 spd stick shift! They got lighter too! They don't make a diesel 2016 yet, but they have always had an auto with the diesel
+Canuckgearreviews...
Either I read it wrong or GM was just talking about
building a diesel Cruze with a six speed for 2016 or 2017. I'm mot interested in a automatic at all.
love it,nice looking car.i drive a 2014 focus titanium myself but I think its clear that american cars are back on top!
Pretty nice. I really like where the compact car segment is going. A lot of nice features.
It's so irritating seeing comments on literally every video that has anything to do with modern cars, people saying that every car looks like another car or a mix of other cars, it is sooooo ANNOYING!!!!
I like it, it's pretty cute!
hi girl aaa don't be sad 😢 God will give you a a blessing to get you one i be praying for you so God can bless you for a New car 🚗 💝😇🙏
Great job Andre! Hope to see more of you in the future. The new Cruze looks great I hope it sells well for Chevy.
I'm was not a Chevy cars guy,but man that car is really awesome,those features...wow! 40 M.P.G.?
Really good job asking questions!
Wow huge visual improvement. First gen Cruze was a blend of ugly and dated looking. Also hope they drastically improved the terrible hard seat, ingress/egress, and rear seat room.
The 2016 Cruze stresses my wife. She just bought today a 2015 Cruze 2LT. Now I showed her the upgraded front and she loves it more. Maybe we sell the 2015 next year.....maybe not. We have the 1.4 turbo and only 2 mpg less and it has the leather everything and the sunroof and 4G + WiFi + OnStar start locator + remote start + +++. Great little car... heart breaking the new 2016... it really is!!! Bet the price jumps $5000 easy.
It's very nice & Andre did a great job!!!
I love how he said the Cruze already had a large backseat. Had he ever sat in one? Sit in the corolla or sentra, then sit in a cruze and tell me that backseat was "large".
I don't know what it is but something about this car interests me.
Compact cars are finally "growing up" so to speak. All the Manufacturers are putting some serious thought & investment into their smaller cars. Hope they bring the diesel version to the US. Love that awesome torque off the line & around town with a diesel powerplant in a small car.
Tim Schmidt They have said a diesel is in the works, just not at launch. With 250 lbs less to pull it should do a bit better than the current model in mpg though with the gas model hitting 40 mpg that may not be the reason you would buy it. The diesel does have some really nice torque for highway cruising though.
I'm probably the only one who noticed this, but the door handles on this car are the exact same ones found on the 2017 Buick LaCrosse.
+ECDT1089 GM parts sharing
Before I bought my 2014 Cruze, I was looking for a Cadillac CTS Or a BMW m3 but the body of the Cruze had everything I wanted. Not just that the prize was way low, I modified my car to the way I wanted it and couldn’t be happier.
BUT taking a look at what Chevy has done to the new Cruze I find it very disappointing.
I want best in class reliability, great stopping power, a quiet cabin and a paint that does not peel off or an outstanding paint quality so the car does not rust easily in cold climates (with annual rust treatment...). Forget all the other bells and whistles. That's why I don't own a domestic car for the moment. Rear heating seats... Common!
I hope the don't get rid of the LTZ moniker all together, I like it better than premier which doesn't pop to me.
Is it just me or are compact cars getting big these days? Seems to me thats as big as say a 1990 camry.
Jeff K Very close. I wonder if this will be considered a mid-size by EPA standards like the Elantra and Dart?
+1guyin10 It will, its larger (though lighter) than the current cruze model which is already considered a mid-size by EPA standards.
Yeah all cars have gone up a size class or 2 over the last 20yrs. You'd think logic would say make cars smaller since prices are getting unaffordable.
the new horsepower is 158 HP, i Drive a 2011 Cruze LT, the current horsepower I have is 138. The guy did answer this question 20 more hp total.
thank God there isn't a CVT... finally a car without that
God I hope it is geared better than first gen Cruze trans. The short gearing is annoying as hell. CVT would have offered seamless acceleration and better MPG.
+palebeachbum CVTs need regular maintenance- replacing the chain belt, replacing the balancer, and replacing the fulid.
+palebeachbum CVT is very numb. I would rather own a yugo with a manual than any car with a CVT.
Andrey, thanks for the great presentation. Appreciate it. Good to see you in front of the camera.
This car is an okay car. I think it looks like a rental car. Something I'd rent for the weekend or something I'd get as a first car after I ran out of options. & TFLC get the spokes person to pay more attention, your spokes guy asked questions that had been already answered.
Awesome job Andre. Excellent interview. Just wish he would have given actual horsepower and torque numbers.
To me this new Cruze looks like a Corolla, and the grill is similar to the Avalon... but as I kept looking at it, it reminded me of the Corolla
is it just me, or could this car be a start to possibly having the long awaited tru concept car being made in the market?
I have 2011 chevrolet cruze. I like my car but after seeing this brand new design woooow
It looks good in RS and Top Trim, as does the top level trim of most cars, but I fear some of that could be lost in translation in lower level trims depending on how many exterior components they keep.
+Maxwell J it's crazy to me that backup cameras have become standard on some models, but actual useful features like radar cruise control that could save lives are still options. I'll skip the backup camera thanks!
***** I get a backup camera recently in a rental and I found it to be more of a distraction than anything. I think the end result might be people losing their awareness of space after relying on that tech.
I wonder how this car will drive. If it drives as well as this guy makes it sound might have to consider it along with the VW golf and Mazda 3.
Isaac Fox the cruse is better than both of them toilets.
One thing I found really jarring funnily enough was that square "premier" badge on the back. You have this swoopy curvy car, and then that badge which looks out of place like those awful dealer badges they sometimes put on.
I like the look of the 14 and 15 better looks more sporty
Excellent installment Andre!
Excellent as always with the "vodka man" jeje
I would love to see a hot-hatch version of this car to compete with the Ford Focus.
MrAviation2013
That would be nice, a sports version of the sedan at the very least.
The current Cruze already offers 39 highway with automatic and 42 with stick so the new lighter model that offers up to 40 is nothing to brag about. Neither is the cookie cutter styling!
it became attractive! I must get it!
cuando lo traerán a Perú??? espero por favor que en Julio ! será muy segura la venta de este sedan
what about a cruze ss? since its the succesor of the cobalt i think it deserves an ss model.
tech yada yada. When will they smarten up and make a performance variant like the civic si , focus st or golf gti. Hell no hatchback variant either for extra cargo.
nice car, but, it's a Chrysler 200! Has a little of ford fusion on the tail lights, a little corolla, etc...
@2:28 rear heated seats?!
does it still have a cheap ignition switch?...and ten airbags? all wonderful takata products im sure...yes it looks good but direct injection(im guessing it has) is a big NEVER for me
Shares a similar front with the Camaro and has the rear end of a Ford fusion and a similar side profile of a corolla or camry
Its becoming generic, like most of chevy's cars. If its not a silverado, corvette or camaro, you can buy anu of these generic lookin cars.
This car simply does not have good rear leg room, and the previous model also did not. Why are the seats wrinkled and puckered looking? They call that Premium? About the only thing premium will be the price and the high priced fuel it takes to keep that turbo motor happy.
+chickenfarm09 a corolla is so much cheaper!!! if you want a top of the line cruze with a sun roof and all those goodies, its gonna cost approximately 30,000!!! i rather pay that much for a better brand of cars!
1javixD Yea for that price one may as well step up to the Malibu and get a somewhat bigger car with a better name.
I'd really want to know more about what they're going to do about reliability issues concerning their ignition switch and previous common issues with the Cruze. Honestly this car is beautiful, and all aspects of it look like its going to look great and drive very well - but how long is that going to keep you happy until things start going bad or breaking? I had an 2009 Aveo5 for only 4 months (got wrecked) with all maintenance kept and no accidents, and it was riddled with issues that cost me over $1000 when the car was already over $7000 and had only 50,000 miles on it. Later on I was graciously given a 1997 Corolla with over 200,000 miles, had been sitting for almost a year, bad and low oil, cracked windshield, a leaking power-steering system and bad gas. It drove for 2 1/2 hours home without issue. $400 later to replace those two issues, and after an oil change, fresh gas and a new air filter this thing has been going strong and driving like a dream for months.
I've never been a car brand loyalist, but I would love to own a Chevy and support a Domestic company. But I'm afraid of whats going to happen in the long term when I own one. What will Chevy do to help with that issue and build consumer confidence? If they can work on that, i'd probably pick one up without hesitation.
Pibbmasta I own one of the newer platformed with the 1.4l (not this one current gen) and have had 0 issues with it. You have to understand that the aveo was a cheap import for GM from a european devision that was really a desperate attempt for GM to become relevant in the small car space. They were rebadged and not good cars. This vehicle and basically everything from GM after 2009 is built well and for the most part in North America. General Motors makes really great cars now. As for ignition switch issues, the only major one they ever had was for the cobalt. And the fact GM has allot of recalls now is a good thing simply because they are no longer letting anything slide. Go try one out you'll be pleasantly surprised how far they have come.
matthebest018 I'm looking forward to getting a chance to test drive one of these actually - I'd like to see how it compares to the Focus also seeing as its probably its top competitor. Its just tough to decide - so many people I know tell me to avoid Chevy or GM for that matter at all costs. Its probably just past experience, but all I hear is "Go with Honda or Toyota if you want a car that will just keep going without major issue. Get a Chevy or a Ford if you like nice cars, but have a lot of money to keep them running." I do have a friend that had a 97 Chevy Trailblazer for almost 15 years and had close to 300k miles on it with no issue... and even he told me to stick with Honda or Toyota haha.
Pibbmasta
You really think GM would make the same mistake on the ignition switch again?
Pibbmasta Its the complete opposite, chevy's can be fixed with a hammer lol Parts are very cheap to buy when they need to be fixed and 90% of the time they are very accessible. Imports are starting to get cheaper to fix but you will find yourself with a hefty bill if something major goes wrong.
matthebest018
That ignition switch problem could have been fixed by having a key with a small round hole instead of a long slot.
The outside looks like a Honda Civic, but the interior is nicer on the Cruze.
I really did not hear him say what the total horsepower was, which is the really important stuff to me.
That helps, big thanks.
Too bad there isn't the diesel now. It would be great considering the Jetta and Golf TDi are no longer.
what happened to the hatchback version?
Yes be a global company and bring the Camaro to right hand drive!
Ricky Julian
Are they planning on selling the camaro globally?
Ricky Julian You would think that with a chassis that was designed for Australia they would be able to pull that one off, wouldn't you?
Jeff K Well their plan is to be a global company like what Ford is doing which means they plan on having almost all models available globally. I think either Dodge or Chevrolet will take on the Mustang which is now in RHD some time in the next few years
Did that guys just say the Cruze had a pretty big back seat?! It's tiny!
Any word on a diesel with a manual trans???
Stop....Start...Don't catch on fire!
Looks like they didn't change much on the Elantra. Wait...
Front end looks like a corolla. I see they hit the chevy parts bin for the rear lights.. 1.5 inches more back leg room? mind = blown! lulz..j/k. What are the headlights? Looks like they might be led, are those standard on all models (he said this is the top of the line model)?
wantsanewvehicle its probably a lot better then u could do...
***** maybe..
I don't know if it's just me, but I think this new Cruze looks a lot like the Hyundai Elantra that's been on sale for the past four years. A lot of design elements and lines inside and out are very similar to the Hyundai. Put the two side by side, and you can see what I mean. It's also interesting that the Cruze is getting rear heated seats..just like the Hyundai. No one else in the compact mainstream segment had those except for Hyundai/Kia. It seems to me that GM has run out of original ideas, and they are looking to copy off the Asian brands. GM may be able to copy design, but they sure haven't been able to copy Asian brand reliability records.
So a Civic and a Corolla had a baby.
"It says Chevrolet." I'm pretty sure if I saw this on my rear view mirror, I would think it was a Chrysler 200
it looks a lot like the new corolla !
+323nuna Which looks a lot like the old cruze (seriously the profile is almost identical)
I want a new Transformers Movie based on all these new Chevrolet cars. >
The roofline on the car looks like the Chrysler 200
2015 for me
release date?
why you guys left europe anyway? chevrolet was doing great in this market. I live in europe and have 2011 chevy cruze and am still driving it with no problems such as service or spare parts. However what if I want to trade my car with 2016 chevy cruze? where do I have to go? to the US? C'mon guys come back to europe again please I really love to own a brand new chevy cruze 2016 which is the best among it's competitors such as civic.corolla etc.
brand new? It looks just like a corolla and a civic mixed.
the last ditch effort to save the plant its a shame a lot of car for the money.
I hate that they changed the Chevy Cruze like the old saying don't fix it if it ain't broken
They stole the frontend from the updated 2015 Camry and the backend from the the 2014 Camry. They didn't even bother changing cars lol
Uhh the 10 airbags in a Cruze isn't new to the Cruze! XD had 10 in my 2012.
Looks like 2015 Corolla or baby Avalon in the front
At first...and seconds glance it looks like a newer Honda civic SI.
this drives me crazy on every GM cars i see... why does GM have the need to put a ugly black front lip on every car they make?...
this new cruze just look like they kinda took best of everything in the class put it together and try to sell it... front kinda looks like a corolla, rear kinda looks like a focus and sentra, interior kinda looks like a focus...
Nice car. Too bad Chevrolet cheats people in other countries by selling the old model leftovers as a new "2016"
The Cruze is far from compact. It is a 3000 lb plus pig with a blown tiny four, and we don't know a manual is optional. To add insult to injury, I doubt the LTZ will be less than 30k...with no cd player
YAY!
Government motors tells us what a compact is, what qualified as mid sized in 1992.
Premier is the new LTZ, it DOES have a cd player, even though nobody uses that anymore. and a fully loaded vehicle with every single option is less than 30k. PS It does have a manual transmission option.
It's an Elantra, It's Corolla, It's a Dogge Dart,.. Oh wait.. IT'S A Chevy Cruze!!! It's a chevy cruze guys!!
It's a cruze!!!

American cars are becoming more like Japanese cars. Why? Sales is the factor. People like Japanese styles better. Toyota, Honda and Nissan are eating their market shares.
I swear, I thought it was a Chrysler 200 at first.
yeah, but the difference is that a Chrysler 200 will be on the side of the road broke down.
+ricecakeFTW You wish. It'll only take the Chevy 10k miles before it's little turbo breaks down.
WuWei Xu Chevys outlast any junk that Chrysler makes
Heartagram I know.
WuWei Xu 62,000 miles on my 2012 chevy cruze and the turbo is spooling with a smile.
Where was it designed, engineered, and built???? Ex. U.S., Germany, South Korea etc.???
Where is the engine from???? Ex. Britain, Germany, South Korea etc.????
We are building this car to keep the driver aware, then he completely takes a U turn and talks about how it keeps you in your lane for you.....OK, I love you GM but get someone who knows how to speak.
I really like the front fasia design. But Cruze always had crappy rear design..... This one carries over that traidition it is almost like they had two deisgners from exterior...
Андрей, соберись, переспрашиваешь вопросы, которые он уже затронул!
Bakhtiyor Ubaydullaev Sorry.
Andrey Smirnov great video!
Some have WIFI!
This car looks a little ugly to me...But maybe I need to see it in person..Usually all of GM cars look good in person!!
В Россию такой же приедет или это только для западного рынка?
Ewwww it looks exactly like the Chrysler 200 and Hyundai Elantra were mashed together... Thank god I bought one a few years ago when it looked like a Chevy
come back Turkey*
looks like a corolla
Am I the only one that thinks that the previous Cruze is nicer?
I agree with you, I think the previous model was nicer and hope I'll be able to afford it instead of this model. My only concern is does the 2016 Chevy Cruze come with Android Auto?
I'm not sure, it'll probably come with Chevy's My Link. You can already find some Cruze's that are in good condition for around 10-11k, within the next year it'll probably drop even more in price.
It'd be amazing if the Android Auto wasn't specifically for the infotainment unit in the 2016 Second Generation, like I could install it through software in the 2015 or 2016 First Generation. That'd solve my problem perfectly!
