Opel Astra or Chevrolet Cruze which is better. What is better Opel Astra or Chevrolet Cruz What is better than Cruz or Opel Astra n

Chevrolet Cruze has successfully taken its market share. It is a modern, reliable car with the makings of a sporty character. Despite this, there are a number of competitive machines. They have both advantages and disadvantages compared to the Chevrolet Cruze. As a result, there is a constant battle in the automotive market between different cars trying to get the attention of buyers.

Comparison of Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus

The Chevrolet Cruze has several advantages over the Ford Focus. Making a comparison, the main advantages are:

• more comfortable steering wheel, especially compared to the Ford Focus 3;
• good view from the driver's seat;
• perfect steering rack design, which Ford Focus 2 cannot boast of.

To decide which car is better than Ford Focus or Chevrolet Cruze, choosing the first one is possible for the following reasons:

• good suspension;
• high-quality interior material;
• effective sound insulation.

The cars are in the same price range. Their cost ranges from 800,000 to 1,200,000 rubles.

Chevrolet Cruze or Opel Astra

According to reviews from car owners, the Opel Astra is prone to damage to the crankshaft sensor. If it malfunctions, the engine becomes completely inoperative. The meter is installed on the tide of the oil pump housing. It creates a synchronization pulse due to which the controller determines the position and speed of the crankshaft. Based on this data, it calculates the moment of triggering of the injectors and the ignition module. Repair is possible only by replacing the sensor. Chevrolet Cruze is somewhat more reliable in this regard. The cost of the Opel Astra is in the same range as the Cruze of a similar configuration.

Cruz vs Toyota Corolla

Operation of Toyota Corolla will reveal the following features:

• many childhood diseases;
• the presence of crickets in the cabin;
• high sensitivity of the engine to the quality of fuel and oil;
• soft suspension;
• the cost is higher than that of the Chevrolet Cruze, and ranges from 1.2 to 1.5 million rubles;
• sufficient comfort.

Cruze or Skoda Octavia

Comparison of the car Skoda Octavia and Chevrolet Cruze is shown in the table below.

Comparison of Chevrolet Cruze and Volkswagen Polo

It will be determined that the Volkswagen Polo or Cruz is better, according to the following advantages and disadvantages of a German:

• absence of "childhood diseases";
• good cross-country ability;
• the cost is less than that of the Chevrolet Cruze;
• rear suspension breakdowns;
• slow warm-up of the passenger compartment.

Chevrolet Cruze or Skoda Rapid

Comparing cars Skoda Rapid and Chevrolet, car owners note the low reliability of the system for measuring the position of the camshaft on the Cruze. In some cases, the engine continues to run, but there is a significant decrease in power and an increase in fuel consumption. It is quite difficult to determine the malfunction. This requires a diagnostic scanner. The problem can be eliminated only by replacing the sensor with a new one.

Comparing Cruze to Mazda

Chevrolet Cruze and Mazda are analyzed according to the main criteria in the table below.

Comparison of Chevrolet Cruze and Honda Civic

The Honda Civic has advantages over the Chevrolet Cruze, on which the failure of the air flow sensor is often encountered. This leads to unpleasant jerks and dips in acceleration. The engine starts to consume significantly more fuel. Elimination of the malfunction is possible only by installing a new sensor.

Chevrolet Cruze and Citroen C4

Unlike the Citroen C4, when the turbocharged engine of the Chevrolet Cruze is operating, extraneous sounds are often observed. The incomplete design of the opel phase regulators leads to the fact that the engine is diesel. The resource of the pump of the cooling system is also small, so it starts to whistle when you run more than 60 thousand km. These problems are extremely rare on Citroen.

At the same time, C4 often causes problems with the failure of suspension elements. The transmission is also not reliable. The cost of the car ranges from 1.3 million to 1.8 million rubles.

Overview of other vehicles

Another car in a similar price segment is the Kia Sid. The machine is characterized by good handling and safety. Kia is inferior to Chevrolet in the reliability of the main components.

There is no definite answer which car is better than the Chevrolet Cruze or Renault Fluence. The first has a more modern filling, while the second is a little more reliable.

Cruise replaced the Chevrolet Lacetti car. The car inherited all the best design solutions of its predecessor. The main advantage of the Lacetti is its lower cost.

The quality of the main units of the Cruz in comparison with the Chevrolet Epica and Chevrolet Aveo is practically on the same level. At the same time, Epica has a lower cost. Experienced car owners, all other things being equal, recommend choosing the Chevrolet Cruze.

Another competitor to the Chevrolet Cruze is the Kia Cerate. The car is characterized by dynamism and comfort. According to reviews, the quality of the Kia is slightly worse than that of the Cruze.

A very heated debate is going on between the owners of Cruz and Ford Mondeo. Both cars have similar characteristics and price segment. That being said, most drivers agree that the Cruze's handling is better on the track.

C-class cars. And this is not surprising. On the one hand, there is a fairly wide selection of economical, well-equipped cars, while the prices remain relatively affordable, on the other hand, the presence of many similar cars can even cause confusion. Which is better, a Chevrolet Cruze or an Opel Astra? Both are owned and manufactured by General Motors. However, these are by no means twins. Each model has its own advantages, and disadvantages can be traced. Let's talk about this in more detail.

Appearance

Fans of previous generations of the Opel Astra will not be disappointed. Continuity is visible to the naked eye. However, one cannot fail to note new trends. It seems that the body is generally devoid of right angles. All this gives Opel a modern look. Plus perfect aerodynamics and adds stability to the car on the road... The content also corresponds to the form. Although the Opel Astra cannot be called a racing car, its dynamic and high-speed characteristics are very, very worthy.

Designers also tried to give it a certain touch of sportiness. And not to say that they did not succeed. For example, the massive grille gives the car a hint of bestial power and grace. The headlights are good. Elongated along the body, they look a little like the eyes of some kind of infernal predator. But the bumpers are thin - they even somehow get out of the general concept of the car.

If you choose Cruz or Astra, focusing only on the body, then Opel will win. Despite some nice decisions, the Chevrolet Cruze looks unfinished. But in this respect it is perfect - nothing superfluous, everything is in its place.

Salon

Opel developers are clearly admirers of high-tech style. To be convinced of this, just look at the torpedo. You will only see such a number of buttons, toggle switches and other types of switches on an interplanetary spacecraft. It will take a long time to explore all this abundance. But it's worth it, because then you can control all the basic functions of the car without even taking your eyes off the road. Nothing bad can be said about the finishing materials, they are of high quality, there are no sloppy seams at all.

The Chevrolet salon also did not disappoint. High-quality materials, no less neat than the competitor's, the seams. The designers of the Chevrolet Cruze, when working out the details of the interior, were guided again. This is evidenced by the smooth lines of the trim elements, and the instrument panel, which the "wells" of the frames are divided into three parts. As a result, the dashboard looks so stylish that, all other things being equal in choosing an Opel Astra or a Chevrolet Cruze, it may well tip the scales in favor of Chevrolet. I would especially like to note the presence of many pockets, offices and other "nests". There is where to put small things so that they are always at hand.

Engine and transmission

At the service of Opel fans there are two. Both engines are gasoline. One engine produces 180 "horses", the second - 101. Depending on personal preferences, you can choose and. Are you a fan of active driving and crave total control over your car? Good old mechanics at your service. Drive mainly in the city and value comfort and convenience (even at a loss in dynamics) - take the "automatic". Fortunately, he is good on the Opel Astra: gears are switched without delays, there is a choice of various algorithms.

Chevrolet lovers have a little richer choice. However, more recently, the Chevrolet Cruze was also equipped with two motors. Namely, with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 109 horsepower for fans of minimalism and a volume of 1.8 liters with a capacity of one hundred and forty-odd "horses". Recently, another engine has been added, which, with a seemingly small volume of 1.4 liters, produces exactly 140 horsepower. Plus, due to its small volume, this motor has an enviable efficiency. In the dispute Cruze vs Astra, we put the plus sign for Cruze.

Road behavior

Test drive of the Chevrolet Cruze car:

As you can see from, Cruz is not a particularly powerful car. It is good in traffic jams in a modern big city (this is facilitated by excellent traction "on the bottom"), but on the track it will definitely lose to Astra. And at Opel, all settings are "sharpened" for high speed. Moderately stiff suspension perfectly "handles" all the unevenness of the track, well-adjusted steering will not allow the driver to lose control of the car in a sharp turn. Chevrolet's handling is worse.

Test drive of the Opel Astra car:

Outcome

Let's summarize. The advantages of the Opel Astra can be considered:

• stylish body;
• good aerodynamics;
• futuristic steering column;
• powerful engine;
• good transmissions;
• excellent suspension and finely tuned steering.

The Chevrolet Cruze has no less pluses. Namely:

• stylish headlights;
• beautifully designed instrument panel;
• many pockets and compartments for small things;
• a large selection of power units.

So Astra or Cruze? It is very difficult to give a definite answer. Cruise is a little cheaper and, as mentioned above, showed itself well when traveling around the city. Element of Astra suburban tracks, however, it will show itself at traffic lights. But it costs more. So choose based on personal preference - both cars are worth buying.

Good day to all!

Today's post is probably more like a questionnaire.

In the summer of 2014, I decided to sell my Mazda and buy a completely new car from the salon. Before Mazda, I had a Chevrolet Lacetti, an unpretentious car that has never let me down, actually delighting my father at the present time.

And my choice as it immediately fell in the direction of Cruise, a white sedan in the maximum configuration 1.8 on the machine.

I went to salons, looked, and wanted him more and more.

At the same time selling your previous car.

And now the X hour has come. The car is sold, the required amount is in your pocket. I go to the salon to negotiate a car and leave a prepayment. And in a conversation with the manager, he accidentally wonders why cruise, and not Opel, etc.

Well, I told him that everything depends on money, and that the aster in the minimum configuration ends where

cruz in the maximum configuration.

Well, here he is quite by accident, climbing on his computer, offers me my aster, with a turbo engine, 17 wheels, with an asset + package and only 15 thousand more expensive than a cruise.

The choice was clear, towards the turbo engine and heated steering wheel)))

So what am I all for, I drive an Astra, but I still salivate on a white cruise, and sometimes thoughts visit me, still get it, a white sedan, with a toning in a circle, a black roof and on black wheels ...

Interesting here is the opinion of people who traveled on both, to hear any positive / negative comparisons.

I am also considering buying an Astra. Looked at several reviews and all as one complain about the lack of space in the knees for the rear passengers. Tell me, as the former owner of the matryoshka doll, is there less or the same amount of space in the back of the Mazda?

I can say with 100% certainty that there is more space in the hatch from the Opel than in the hatch from the Mazda!

And how is the turbo engine after atmospheric, how is it warmed up in winter, how is the dynamics, the consumption?

Mazda rode better, it was a small rocket.

I drove around the stock GTC 1.4 turbo. Well, there I had 2 liters and 150 horses per manual transmission.

It warms up quickly, in winter I start moving at 30 degrees on the sly. I don’t warm up in freezing temperatures, as the turnover will drop.

And so happy with the car, comfortable, quiet and quite dynamic. The only thing is that there are a lot of children's sores, you can read about this in the BZ.

I also considered cruz and Opel. Cruz seemed too bulky. In this price segment, the Opel Astra is one of the best cars externally, internally, comfort and ride comfort. I say one of the best and not the best) After the Opel I will only buy a German, tk. Russian-assembled jambs come out.

I also dreamed and burned with the purchase of a Mazda 3) and after selling my car I went to buy) but nothing worthy and expected was not found) and I caught sight of an Opel Astra in the cosmo configuration) and as soon as I got into it I realized that this was my car and I'm going to leave on it now) he makes me very happy, but still a dream is a dream) and therefore, as I see a black Mazda 3 in a hatch, I let saliva on it)

with regards to Mazda, the hatch in 1 body is certainly legendary :)

I think he is the most beautiful of all generations!

he rules the ball) in Nizhny Novgorod a guy was selling a club) at maximum speed the last restayl but I didn't have time ((it was a shame very much) but I'm also happy with my purchase of an Opel)

so I just had the last rest, with mp-3, manual transmission-6 and piano black panels

why moved)) of course the Opel is more modern and in my opinion more cheerful)) but there is a Mazda Mazda) even more so it was) better they are already doing it

because she was already 6 years old, and the mileage was 103 thousand, I sold it in half a day and for a very good amount, at a time when the market was in principle.

Opel is a calm and comfortable car.

2-liter Mazda is a mad stool, a small rocket :)

Thanks for your opinion.

Now I could consider a new seed, I really like it externally.

And I also considered a Ford, but the reviews about the 3rd focus are already very bad, they say the car was not the same as before ...

As for Ford, I agree, it's not the same, but I'm more for an example, in the context of anything but Opel)))

If I had a choice between Opel and Chevrolet, I would choose Kia. Or Ford.Na kraynyak Lada (as it turned out, Lada is more reliable than Opel). No offense, practice has shown that Opel is not worth its money due to problems with workmanship, and Cruz is 2/3 (if not 3/4) Opel, a lot of parts are interchangeable. Moreover, due to the departure of GM from Russia market, they have a big problem with selling on the secondary market, a friend who has been trying to merge her GTC 1.4 on the handle for 3 months.

Once again, I ask you not to be offended by such an unusual opinion. I recommend that you closely monitor the state of the turbine, engine and cooling system - the most sore spots of this generation

Owned four Opels, from cadet to Jki, only pleased. All cars break down, no exceptions. And in terms of repair, the Opel is very simple and at a price slightly more expensive than a vase, and somewhere about the same. Between G and H I had a focus 2, Spaniard. Well, I'll tell you that he ruffled my nerves like more than one Opel. As I remember now, when I sat down on it after G, I kept thinking that the doors were not closed because it rustled in the cabin so that the passenger was barely audible. Noise 0, stocks (factory) a bunch, and in the repair only one chassis costs such an amount that it's just tin. Consumption of 1.8 liters. more than H OPC. On Mazda zdil - the same as the focus, only outwardly different.

A paintwork. this is a separate topic altogether. Now on the aster, the door was crushed by the past owner, right from the end (I did not put it on the handbrake, the car rolled and rested the door against the post), so when the metal was planted back, the paint slightly peeled off. And so far it has remained unfinished. And at the place of the chip (2 thumbs in size), at least the slightest hint of rust, ideally clean metal.

Mileage 150 thousand! Changed after buying coolant tanks, heat exchanger gaskets. Well, the counter at the back is tapping. Compression in all boilers of 13. Here you have "Opil" =)

There are a lot of people who smear them, but there are also those who will also say that this is an awesome car!)

Good day!

I want to tell the story of the short-term ownership of the Chevrolet Cruze. The car is not my first, when choosing some experience of owning was already, including the Chevrolet. Only as something bad is quickly forgotten, and I bought into the fact that the last Chevrolet was a Niva, our domestic car, and here it is like Korea, kind of inexpensive and rich. It turned out to be an erroneous opinion. I will make a reservation - before Cruise there was a Skoda Fabia, maybe a small, but very worthy car in all respects. She set a fairly high bar when choosing the next car. There were quite a few potential candidates, mostly Japanese on the machine, I really liked the Lancer X 1.8 of my now wife. Here are some of the candidates - all in 2009 - Mitsubishi Lancer X 2.0, Mazda 3 2.0, Honda Civic sedan, Toyota Corolla on automatic transmission and certainly not on a robot, Skoda Octavia and many others. The Japanese, in principle, were good, but everyone had their own cockroaches ... Lance scared off the variator, Mazda is very low and tough, Honda is low and there are problems with the steering rack, the Corolla is just cramped, boring, and just nothing. About Skoda Octavia I will say that I liked it very much, but when the purchase was seriously looming, they decided to choose from new cars, and Oktashka came out a little expensive - 640 sput. In the simplest configuration on the handle on the oars, from the options only Conder. ALL! Volga some kind of honest ... And then I began to look from the new, but more stuffed. Hyundai Solaris is dynamic, very comfortable, just appeared, but the suspension is junk and the machine itself, as time has shown, is not very reliable and just not very good in itself. Kia Rio is better but also not great, besides it is cramped and small. I almost bought a Volkswagen Polo sedan, with a full mincemeat with a machine gun it turned out not too expensive, a new and quite nothing machine. I was ready to buy it, but then my friend and I went into the next salon and saw IT! Handsome, big, snow-white Chevrolet Cruze, priced like a Polo sedan. It's tempting!

So. Conducted a test drive and I fired up the purchase! The wife dissuaded but backed down, it was useless to argue. A week later he became the owner of this snow-white handsome man. Engine 1.6, automatic, basic equipment, which seemed to have everything that was needed - air conditioning, front electric windows, electric mirrors, heated seats and so on. It was euphoria, life was good! Two days later, the seat creaked under me. It happens. Nonsense. I noticed a wild fuel consumption - 25 liters in quiet mode. It happens, running in the same. I remembered that on Skoda, the consumption was immediately low and practically did not change for a hundred thousand kilometers, up to 8-10 in the city and on the highway in the region of 5-7, depending on the speed. I wrote off the expense to the fact that the machine is still completely new and the engine is not Shkodovsky, but the ancient Opelevsky like that of the last Nexia (not a very pleasant comparison), and you need to be patient a little and everything will be fine, including constantly floating engine speed (well, not should be SO on a new car!). I started driving and every day I got pleasure - a big car, beautiful, on the machine, a bunch of all kinds of buttons, they notice a car on the road, they stopped brazenly pushing and cutting, well, Skoda and I got used to it, the costs of the Russian mentality. Over time, I began to notice pain in my back, the seats are simply worthless. There is no steering wheel adjustment for reach in the initial configuration, the landing is low, there is simply no back support, it is impossible to get a job behind the wheel. It’s unpleasant. Two days later, the paint chipped off the front bumper at the junction of the bumper and the wing - they refused to paint under warranty. The manager argued that it was a chip from a pebble, but how could he get there, after all, it is clear to a fool - the bumper is skewed, on the other hand, the bumper does not even adhere to the wing! Nevertheless, the management's argument was iron - the St. Petersburg assembly, on Insignia this is also quite common. Okay, it doesn't matter, we'll get over it. I would like to talk separately about the quality of service in Chevrolet dealerships, we have 3 of them in Yekaterinburg, I will not name them. How competently the manager of the car dealership Dmitry shared a bunch of gifts when buying a car from him and did not fulfill a single promise, he was just a born huckster. He was just as competently able to steam, yes, steam a deliberately low-quality product. By the way, what is the difference between Ford dealers. The Ford Focus 3 was viewed as an inexpensive alternative to the Cruise, and the quality of finish and workmanship was disappointing for both. As for the Russian assembly, it all depends on the manufacturer's plant, the Skoda Fabia was assembled in Kaluga and passed 100 thousand. km. without a single breakdown, Skoda Octavia I now also have a Kaluga assembly and there are no complaints, everything is at a high level.
