Bought a Chevy Cruze 2015 LTZ, manual transmission, a company owned and maintained car bought out of decommissioned sales, 6 months back, as it was my dream car in those college days. I'm living my dream , its a masterpiece. After driving this darling, I'm not even touching any of the other cars at home in family I used to drive once... This shouts out enough of this legacy , I wish GM would've never left India, where nowadays, fakesters have captured market with pseudo SUVs and pseudo so called compact sedans. I bow to u Cruze, I love you ❤
Till now I feel Sharan Bindra is the good reviewer n he drivers very well all the car like duster, endeavour, brezza n etc... Love u Sharan paji❤️❤️the way u ride the car is superb
Great review again.... However one can't disagree that pre facelift Cruze was matured looking than not so bold looking grill of 2016 model, for me it looks chinese....
Aap jaroor second hand le sakte ye gaadi. Par jab second hand cars ki baat ho tab koi gaadi ache se jaanch karni chahiye. Kisi ache mechanic ya workshop me check karwaye.
Well, I'm 6'2'' and the people travelling in the car excluding me will be in 5'6-6'2 range. There might come a time when I will be in the backseat. As you've tried the car, will you recommend this it? especially since there is around 2.5 Lakh discount for the LTZ Manual version. If not, what else do you recommend? Jetta, Octavia et cetera are kinda expensive for me.
Nice review. I am planning to get an used Honda Civic 2011 model or a Cruze from 2010 or 2011 model. The price range between 6.5 and 8L for these two used cars, so I am really confused which one should I opt for. Should I go for the more reliable Honda Cars or this Chevy Cruze. This would be my first Car I am buying from my own, so wanted a better one and I cant afford a New one at this junction. So please provide me your valuable suggestion.
+rajavrmn While both are great cars to drive they have their own strengths and weaknesses! I'll try and put them down and you can decide as per your preferences! Civic +VEs : futuristic looking Interiors, better space, Petrol motor -VEs : Low ground clearance (even for some speed breakers), Fuel economy, its a discontinued car (poor resale)
Why don't you do a comprehensive review on the Petrol Rocket , Punto Abarth? I am eagerly waiting for it. Nothing came after the PowerDrift First Impressions on that Hot Hatch.
I had my mind made up on buying this car. I expected the new version of Cruze to be released this year in India. But Chevy just gave the car a facelift, which in my opinion is good but the previous version looks better. I want the Cruze they're riding in the US. Well might just buy an used BMW 3 series. Any advice Cruze or 2013 or later used BMW 3 series driven foe less than 15000 kms.?
Hey great review Sharan! :) I think I am in love with the car, I have a Ford Figo Aspire TDCi, its a pleasure to drive it, and almost everyone who drives it talks about the bolsters on steering wheels and driving experience. I always loved the Cruze, but I guess now I love it more considering its such a performance oriented car. :) I really loved the end notes, the recommendation who should buy. Cheers! :D
If this is the Diesel Rocket, then the Skoda Octavia 1.8 should be called the Petrol Rocket. Although the Octavia RS would be more apt to be called a Rocket.
1:55, A Hyundai Verna eating dust of Cruze.... :D Man, I love this car. The facelift didnt improve the looks but for whats worth I loved its previous one more... Thank PD for reviewing this car. PS- A small request to review its previous gen. :) That car was a gem in both the looks and the brute strength department. :)
+Subodh Ranjan They don't call it a diesel rocket for no reason! :D We'd love to but we have a lot of other reviews going on right now. Hopefully soon.
Great review! Although looks is a subjective thing, I preferred the older one to this. Just hope they would have added projector to those headlights so spruce it up a bit. LED's on rare would have done good too. Black interior is awesome and a welcome change from the brown, beige and lighter shaded beige. Hope Chevy brings the new one though..
I'm really inclined towards buying the 2016 LTZ variant for the solid performance, safety and features it has on offer variant but am skeptical the service and a bit about the resale value currently in 2021. What do you feel would be the perfect/ appropriate pricing if I were to buy it?
I hit that like button even b4 the video started. Sharan, if I'm not wrong, did a good review. Liked it, specially that "I have a name to put on test" and "No. I don't wanna be here." I was a fan of Cruze when it was launched and till date. But why did Chevy change the front grill. The car has lost its sporty look. However the review by PowerDrift is always upto its mark. And the new hosts (Aakash, Varun and Sharan) are doing it well too. Keep it up PowerDrift.
PD Team please consider mixing the audio in a subtle way. The levels are abrupt. It might sound good in a studio setup but on my laptop system, I fear the red level audio might damage my speakers.
Sharan please tell me something..why for ages auto companies in India been fooling Indian customers calling new release models as ALL NEW MODEL by making just minor cosmetic changes? I was really excited to see 2016 Cruze design (the original US one) and was waiting eagerly for it in India but now utterly disappointed with this re-polished one here. I am sure they will continue to sell this facelifted model for next 3 years till the factory moulds in US for the new design reach its expiry date. Then it will be dumped in India to make the ALL NEW Chevy CRUZ 2019.
+PowerDrift: Honest and balanced review. Its indeed much wiser to get hold of a used Cruz since the engine and mechanicals are same as the old one.. The 2016 US version is a beauty and should be waited for.. When are you guys doing a Baleno Review?
Quite a lot of factors involved in buying a used car, comrade. Hard to comment either way without checking the car. We'd suggest you take a trusted mechanic along for a test drive.
@@powerdriftofficial Yes that process already finished. The mechanic is satisfied with the over all condition of the vehicle.. Battery new tyres also ok..
Another good job done paaji.... just a quick though - The new Cruze (launched in other countries) looks quite different from this one... so would that make it our market any time soon...?? Thought the new looks more of a Hyundai rather than a Chevy.
we have heard it would be launched in mid 2017, a striped down version. Though with news like these, its anybody's guess till the car is actually launched.
How about a tribute to the undisputed speed king of the d-segment 'Skoda Laura 1.8 TSI'? There are many Laura tsi's in India running a stage 3 upgrade. I' d be more than happy to lend you my car for a breath taking review. Laura tsi was the fastest d segment sedan with the best 0 to 100, fastest quarter-mile, hydraulic steering that puts a smile across ur face, and phenomenal braking. It deserves to be reviewed by you guys. Please PD, please review my car or either the Laura 1.8 tsi. Looking forward to your reply.
+PowerDrift thanks for your reply. All the best for your future reviews. In case you've time for a quick review please let me know. My car is every ready to be blessed by PD!
+an5ish That's so sweet of you, Tempting indeed, its one of my fav sedans.. But lets hope the Rumors of a 2016 Laura(year end) turn out to be true and we can do a old vs new, what say?
+Sharan Bindra thanks for your reply mate. Your reviews are kick ass and absolutely reflects your passion for cars. I was taken aback seeing you in blockbuster 1. Seeing you sitting with your kayfabe dad in Maruti 800 sent me into deep nostalgia. I was never that emotionally provoked in recent times. Hope the Laura 2k16 story is true. The mk3 Octavia vrs is undoubtedly the best and the fastest production Skoda. 2.0 tsi in case it makes with a 6 speed Mt (I reckon it won't) would be a benchmark car. Mk1 Vs mk2 Vs mk3 would be my dream PD review. I'd be eagerly waiting for that dream to come true. Keep rocking Sharan!
+PowerDrift very good indeed. The smile it puts on your face when you floor the pedal is inexpressible. The most value for money with 2litre diesel rocket
Those Leather seats are not even leather mate , its faux leather, you do not get leather these days for that kind of money. Also they are cutting their pricing just to sell more, a captiva 7 seater awd is same price as a 2 wd, 5 seater Toyota rav 4 or Honda crv. If they are cramming so much in car for the same price as competitors , there has to be a reason for that, they do a lot of cost cutting to get there.Golden thumb rule is what you pay is what you get.
Friends its a pleasure watching your videos!! But you need to do something about the sound...this video...and the duster video....have sound issues. Cheers! Always a fan!
Great Review Guys,Will there be a review of the Chevy Beat ? P.S - Incase if you guys didn't know (Ofcourse you would lol),The Cruze and Beat are made by Daewoo,Right from R&D,Design to the Production (GM Factory) called as the Lacetti and Matiz respectively.Love the First Gen Matiz,Cute little car it was !
+ZR1 Gamer The Chevy beat is due for an upgrade! We'll have a review up when that happens. Yes, we know that story! Who can forget the Daewoo and the Cielo :D
the mic placement is really bad.. i am using headphones and i could make out the real difference... need to improve guys... the entire video is top notch ( except the audio quality)
unfortunately the designers of this car want to make it more of a family car instead of making it look bolder and more muscly.. the pre facelift version looks way better
Excellent review! :D Do have a small suggestion though, please preview your audio before you upload it. It cracked a bit and made it harder to be understood. The rest was smooth cruising, pun intended.
+PowerDrift Good sir, I watch on my OnePlus. Thought it may have been the speaker so I watched again with headphones on and some amount of sound distortion remained. Like a grainy muffle if you know what I mean. Hope it can make your great videos even better, all the best!
+PowerDrift In 720 and 1080p, most noticeable at 1:47 for eg, when the rock music (which is apt for such a car) makes your voice just a lil bit harder to comprehend. :)
I had 17 lakhs in my.. aaham.. mom's bank account.. I am less than 6 feet tall.. I do my own driving ..n I didn't mind the diesel.. and I bought this hands-down and boy am I more than elated.. 1yr of ownership now and I have nothing to complain but a lot to brag about,..😀😎
Great car. When you compare it with the competition, this car stands out in terms of its own strong character and earns respect but only GM is killing this fine product by overpricing it little bit and not providing good after sales and services and hence people afraid to buy any GM's product. Sharan the honest reviewer and a great review by the way.
+Sharan Bindra Hahahah +Power Drift Good Job though guys. It's just amazing to watch you guys review automobile. To be frank, I seriously believe no other Indian UA-cam channel does so amazing reviews. Wish I'd work with you guys someday. Long way to go I suppose, eh?
chevy should've launched the updated cruze as they did in America.Although this car has a nice drivetrain,it still doesn't compare to a 2016 car like the new octavia
The old cruze looked so much better! The front on this one simply looks bad ! The chromed dual grille.. And the DRL LEDs look like a cheap aftermarket add-on !
+PowerDrift Am using this headset www.flipkart.com/plantronics-audio-655-dsp-wired-headset/p/itmdy7wuqkczg2qq Low voice level compared to bgm & scroll to 1:30 - 2:45 chk the bgm
Super brother same here,my favorite sedan also this beast Cruze.But I heard that Chevrolet cars can't get serviced easily .I have planned to buy one.how can I find the service centers and spare parts please guide me bhai @Anil Jangra
@@akashkodai7210 well its depend on your location. I LIVES IN DELHI and has no problem servicing this car. All chevy service centres are up and running till 2027 and there after mahindra will take care of it. However, you can get parts from pawn shop or local distributors like we have in kashmere gate here to save few bicjs on your servicing since authorized service may charge you a lot now.
nothing can ever beat the sheer pleasure of driving this car. and it's sturdy and strong.. that is what it is.. love it.. I have the cruze since 2010 done 1.5lacs kms still loving it..
The service is bit on a higher side but nothing against the likes of Skoda.. The regular service of the car and maintenance is done superbly here in a town like Bharuch Gujarat. So I could just imagine it will be better elsewhere.
excellent review/reviewer, excellent video direction. Can i know the height of the reviewer. Please mention the ground clearance of the cars. Much appreciated.
Mate firstly lovely house what city is this I think Chandigarh? and coming to the review as usual it was brilliant since you covered all the points very well and the Cruze is mostly a car one would drive for a chauffeur driven car one can go buy a corolla 👌
welll said bro "cruze is a better 2nd hand car" true coz its engine is very reliable so is the car you could gen the first model(before the facelift) cruze which is the best looker in a fraction of the price awesome modest review
Bought a Chevy Cruze 2015 LTZ, manual transmission, a company owned and maintained car bought out of decommissioned sales, 6 months back, as it was my dream car in those college days.
I'm living my dream , its a masterpiece.
After driving this darling, I'm not even touching any of the other cars at home in family I used to drive once...
This shouts out enough of this legacy , I wish GM would've never left India, where nowadays, fakesters have captured market with pseudo SUVs and pseudo so called compact sedans.
I bow to u Cruze, I love you ❤
Buying this as a used car is much smarter option as said by Bindra ji.
+abhishek arya That would save you a lot of money!
Ofcourse
Till now I feel Sharan Bindra is the good reviewer n he drivers very well all the car like duster, endeavour, brezza n etc...
Love u Sharan paji❤️❤️the way u ride the car is superb
I just love the way you guys composed this video. Watched so many times and started loving Cruze because of this review.
Well Done Guys :D
reviewed with a syle bro... Cruze my all time fav.
:D
Great review again....
However one can't disagree that pre facelift Cruze was matured looking than not so bold looking grill of 2016 model, for me it looks chinese....
+iamwaseemakram It has turned less hooliganish and more mature with the face-lift is what we think!
Why do good cars sell less>>Cruze>>Linea Tjet>>Abarth????.....and they are also one of the safest...
+Mayur Nayudu Hyundai - Maruti come with that trust factor thanks to the wide service reach they get to the table.
For me Octavia 1.8 > Jetta 2.0 > Cruze > Altis 1.8 > Fluence
+SRIJAN JHA That analogy though!
It's been 3 years, does your opinion still hold up?
Looks like I'm the only human on this goddamm planet who suddenly geeks out about a car and starts watching PowerDrift videos about it.
Sir aapke khayal se ye car second mai leni chahhiye ?konsa model achha hai 2014 ya 2017? 5-6 lakh mai to nahi leni chahiye na?
Aap jaroor second hand le sakte ye gaadi. Par jab second hand cars ki baat ho tab koi gaadi ache se jaanch karni chahiye. Kisi ache mechanic ya workshop me check karwaye.

If this is the Diesel Rocket, then the Skoda Octavia 1.8 should be called the Petrol Rocket. Although the Octavia RS would be more apt to be called a Rocket.

+Srinivas Aston We'll look into that asap! :)

Sir... what is the maintanance cost should i buy cruze in 2021
Great review! Although looks is a subjective thing, I preferred the older one to this. Just hope they would have added projector to those headlights so spruce it up a bit.

Hyundai Elantra 2016 vs Toyota Corolla Altis vs Chevrolet Cruz - Please tell me a nice 5 member family car. I am in edge of deciding.
Anyone in 2019 ??? This car is just woww
India is not the country where a car like this succeeds !! Maruthi is the trash can India wants
Yeah it iss
Sir ji I observed that the cruze is getting off when I lift in second gear after speed breaker where others are not what is reason ?
+PowerDrift: Honest and balanced review. Its indeed much wiser to get hold of a used Cruz since the engine and mechanicals are same as the old one.. The 2016 US version is a beauty and should be waited for.. When are you guys doing a Baleno Review?
+Dipanjan Modak Very well said. As far as the Baleno goes, we are waiting for the media car to arrive :)
Hi.. pls reply.. want to buy Chevvy Cruze LTZ 2012 90k car is nicely mentained. Suggest whether to buy or not if yes at what price
Quite a lot of factors involved in buying a used car, comrade. Hard to comment either way without checking the car.
We'd suggest you take a trusted mechanic along for a test drive.
@@powerdriftofficial Yes that process already finished. The mechanic is satisfied with the over all condition of the vehicle.. Battery new tyres also ok..
Wished they got the American 2016 Cruze than an old Indian version if it with minor cosmetic changes.
That's due for 2017, is what we heard!
+Sharan Bindra damn. :/
BTW, nice house. :) love the entry passage.
+Sharan Bindra Thanks for clearing the doubt. :)
+Shreyas R Thank you, I shall convey that to my mum :)
did the elantra beside the cruze compete with it at 1:56
I have the same model, same colour car. I have driven it for the last eight years with out any problems.
Another good job done paaji.... just a quick though - The new Cruze (launched in other countries) looks quite different from this one... so would that make it our market any time soon...??
Thought the new looks more of a Hyundai rather than a Chevy.

+Ajay Pillai Noted! We'll try and fix it as soon as possible.
Superb review......any idea about new Cruze & civic launch...? n Cruze automatic gear box is it comparable with vw DSG...
I saw you drifting at the end of the video and I guess cruze is a fwd car. Can you give a video tutorial on how to drift with a fwd car ?
+Angad Singh Pull the handbrake up!
These were performed by experts in a controlled enviroment! Don't try these out on the streets.

Great Review Guys,Will there be a review of the Chevy Beat ?
P.S - Incase if you guys didn't know (Ofcourse you would lol),The Cruze and Beat are made by Daewoo,Right from R&D,Design to the Production (GM Factory) called as the Lacetti and Matiz respectively.Love the First Gen Matiz,Cute little car it was !
+ZR1 Gamer The Chevy beat is due for an upgrade! We'll have a review up when that happens.
Yes, we know that story! Who can forget the Daewoo and the Cielo :D

Yes,My dad owned 3 Cielos.Now he owns a '13 Cruze LTZ :)
2:38 that photobomb though lol

I would like to buy a used Chevy cruze 2009 model 48000 driven car..4-5L
is it good deal??
We suggest you take an intensive test drive of the car and thoroughly inspect it before making a decision, comrade. :)
I have always loved this car. Sad that it wasn't well appreciated by the Indian market.
Which is faster on highway BMW 3 series or cruze
the mic placement is really bad.. i am using headphones and i could make out the real difference... need to improve guys... the entire video is top notch ( except the audio quality)
+Sumith Srinivasan Appreciate the feedback comrade. :)
sack the audio man,if you have any, if you dont, then get one.
a perfect review...loved it...
Thank you +shadab khan !
Why is sharan bindra not reviewing nowadays??
You are reviewing a facelift by Chevrolet and yet you did not review punto abarth, baleno, mahindra mojo and the list goes on.. 🙁
+Sri Chekuthan well we have got the ball rolling, you shall be seeing alot more in coming days :)
What did they do to the front grill?! The original grill was so gorgeous. Look at it from the front. Its a sad sight.
Don't get me wrong, i loved the Cruze. I guess i dont anymore.
+Raymond XL They say "Looks are superficial, beauty is on the inside" (inside the bonnet in this case)
what location it was ?
+Tajinder Singh This was shot in Delhi!
I liked the way you define the car, have seen many videos on cars but this is class .. going to subscribe you.
was this video shot in ahmedabad ?
+yash gupta No this was in Delhi Yash.
+Sharan Bindra ok i saw (GJ-1) number plate thats y i thought so !! btw nice video , sharan you are really an awesome presenter . keep it up !!!
Thank you Yash!
unfortunately the designers of this car want to make it more of a family car instead of making it look bolder and more muscly.. the pre facelift version looks way better
Got to see two great places to be in ...first is Cruze's Driver seat and second is Saran's House....
+Adi G Hope you liked the review too! :D
+PowerDrift oh yes loved it... however keep improving. . glad that u dont have me as ur boss...
music is just too loud :(. Review is excellent!
+Steve Adams May we suggest you listen to this on your headphones!
LTZ RS
Excellent review! :D
Do have a small suggestion though, please preview your audio before you upload it. It cracked a bit and made it harder to be understood.
The rest was smooth cruising, pun intended.
Thank you so much +Vaibhav Chaudhary!
Which device are you watching this on?
+PowerDrift Good sir, I watch on my OnePlus. Thought it may have been the speaker so I watched again with headphones on and some amount of sound distortion remained. Like a grainy muffle if you know what I mean.
Hope it can make your great videos even better, all the best!
+PowerDrift In 720 and 1080p, most noticeable at 1:47 for eg, when the rock music (which is apt for such a car) makes your voice just a lil bit harder to comprehend. :)
I'm looking for 2 SUVs around 30 lacs any suggestions
+Avaneesh Mulay YOu mean you want 2 SUVS in 30 lacs or 30L each?
Please have Rohan review the Skoda Superb, his review of the Octavia was the best PD review yet, in my humble opinion.
+Nikhil Mokashi We'll try and put that together :)
I had 17 lakhs in my.. aaham.. mom's bank account.. I am less than 6 feet tall.. I do my own driving ..n I didn't mind the diesel.. and I bought this hands-down and boy am I more than elated.. 1yr of ownership now and I have nothing to complain but a lot to brag about,..😀😎
We wish you many happy miles comrade! :D
Why aren't you guys doing a review of BREZZA ?
+RJ Sigh!
Saw sharan criticizing a car for the first time xD :P
'Unbiased' being the key word here!
Next version is orgasmic x_x
PS- only available in US :'(
+Rohit Datar Yeah! We saw what you did there :)
I know. Sad story.
Add some comparison test drives.. like vetnto vs city vs rapid vs ciaz vs sunny
+Mithu Paul Jose We have a few up already. Please go through our channel :D
I really like this car. but really don't understand why no petrol engine is on offer.
Great car. When you compare it with the competition, this car stands out in terms of its own strong character and earns respect but only GM is killing this fine product by overpricing it little bit and not providing good after sales and services and hence people afraid to buy any GM's product. Sharan the honest reviewer and a great review by the way.
+krpradi Glad you liked it :)
+krpradi Thank you :)
Does any variant has got any paddle shifters (other than that great review and a great car)
+Bilahari TR Unfortunately it doesn't get that feature.
What if i tell you that now any one can get cruze at very cheap price. That is at 10 lakh ex showroom price.
is Chevrolet a good brand like the Germans?
There were no bloopers in the end. :( Otherwise usually when he presents, they give bloopers. Even during autoexpo one video had bloopers 😂😥
+Parth Garg Well some times our editors spare me, just some times!
+Parth Garg Lets just say Sharan is getting it done on point!
+Sharan Bindra Hahahah
+Power Drift Good Job though guys. It's just amazing to watch you guys review automobile. To be frank, I seriously believe no other Indian UA-cam channel does so amazing reviews. Wish I'd work with you guys someday. Long way to go I suppose, eh?
awesome video ... which one u prefer as critic manual or automatic?
+Danish Khan That's a personal decision. Most of us here would prefer the manual.
Chandigarh??
3 hours away via Murthal ;)
chevy should've launched the updated cruze as they did in America.Although this car has a nice drivetrain,it still doesn't compare to a 2016 car like the new octavia
+Sameer Ahuja We've heard news about a facelift version coming in 2017!
Please bring this guy back, he is so good :(
The old cruze looked so much better!
The front on this one simply looks bad ! The chromed dual grille.. And the DRL LEDs look like a cheap aftermarket add-on !
+ssmetalrulz We have been hearing this quite a lot!
Sorry to say PD, the sound quality is getting poorer..
+vijesh paul This one too? What have you been hearing this on?
+PowerDrift
Am using this headset www.flipkart.com/plantronics-audio-655-dsp-wired-headset/p/itmdy7wuqkczg2qq
Low voice level compared to bgm & scroll to 1:30 - 2:45 chk the bgm
Even today. It's 2019. I love cruze
Super brother same here,my favorite sedan also this beast Cruze.But I heard that Chevrolet cars can't get serviced easily .I have planned to buy one.how can I find the service centers and spare parts please guide me bhai @Anil Jangra
@@akashkodai7210 well its depend on your location. I LIVES IN DELHI and has no problem servicing this car. All chevy service centres are up and running till 2027 and there after mahindra will take care of it. However, you can get parts from pawn shop or local distributors like we have in kashmere gate here to save few bicjs on your servicing since authorized service may charge you a lot now.
Maintenance of this car will burn a big hole in ur pocket. Oil change and brake pads replacement will cost roughly 25000 INR!
+Junaid Navas That's something we'll cover in the long term review but here's a service breakdown - www.cardekho.com/chevrolet-cruze/service-cost.htm
+PowerDrift woah? Is your data correct? The oil alone cost 6-7 thousand rupees!!
nothing can ever beat the sheer pleasure of driving this car. and it's sturdy and strong.. that is what it is.. love it.. I have the cruze since 2010 done 1.5lacs kms still loving it..
+karan choksi Thank you for sharing that with us! How has the service experience been?
The service is bit on a higher side but nothing against the likes of Skoda.. The regular service of the car and maintenance is done superbly here in a town like Bharuch Gujarat. So I could just imagine it will be better elsewhere.
excellent review/reviewer, excellent video direction.
Can i know the height of the reviewer.
Please mention the ground clearance of the cars.
Much appreciated.
+xshivam Sharan is above 6 feet tall! Your feedback is appreciated!
+xshivam Thanks, I'm 6'2" !
Mate firstly lovely house what city is this I think Chandigarh? and coming to the review as usual it was brilliant since you covered all the points very well and the Cruze is mostly a car one would drive for a chauffeur driven car one can go buy a corolla 👌
+Ivan Castellin That's Delhi for you. Thank you for those kind words and we certainly hope you have subscribed to our channel.
welll said bro "cruze is a better 2nd hand car"
true coz its engine is very reliable so is the car you could gen the first model(before the facelift) cruze which is the best looker in a fraction of the price
awesome modest review
Then why the delay in sharing this ahead? ;)
