雪佛蘭科魯茲是通用汽車公司的全球暢銷車型?？启斊?/span>2016版使用了全新的生產(chǎn)平臺(tái)，讓這款C級(jí)車的車身變得更長(zhǎng)、更寬敞、動(dòng)力性更強(qiáng)、更為輕巧（重量減輕113公斤）。此外，2016版科魯茲還配備了一系列新技術(shù)，其中包括帶有自動(dòng)啟停功能的全新1.4L直噴渦輪汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)與一系列車輛互聯(lián)技術(shù)。
目前用在德國歐寶一些車型上的1.6L渦輪柴油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，由通用汽車匈牙利圣戈特哈德工廠生產(chǎn)，計(jì)劃用于2017年初在北美上市的科魯茲車型。
新版科魯茲將銷往全球40多個(gè)國家，通用汽車的D2XX緊湊平臺(tái)代替了目前使用的Delta II平臺(tái)。同樣使用Delta II平臺(tái)的還有別克威朗、雪佛蘭Equinox、歐寶雅特等車型。科魯茲原本只有四門三廂車體，而今后還將加入五門兩廂車體。新版科魯茲的軸距從現(xiàn)在的105.7英寸（2685毫米）加長(zhǎng)至106.3英寸（2700毫米），總長(zhǎng)亦增加了2.7英寸（69毫米），這使其車身大于本田思域、福特?？怂?、道奇Dart、馬自達(dá)3、現(xiàn)代伊蘭特、日產(chǎn) Sentra和大眾捷達(dá)等競(jìng)爭(zhēng)車型。
通用汽車表示，新版科魯茲的內(nèi)部空間比以前更寬敞，后排腿部空間為36.1英寸（917毫米），不僅比舊版更大，而且還比?？怂购鸵撂m特的后座腿部空間長(zhǎng)了2英寸（51毫米）。前輪距和后輪距與舊版相同，分別為60.8英寸（1544毫米）和61.3英寸（1557毫米）。
與2016版雪佛蘭沃藍(lán)達(dá)一樣，新版科魯茲的總高度也有所降低。工程師指出，總高度下降1英寸（25毫米）不僅使車身看起來更圓潤(rùn)，還能讓拖動(dòng)系數(shù)（Cd）變成0.29，公路燃油效率預(yù)計(jì)能夠達(dá)到40mpg。但6月24日新版科魯茲發(fā)布時(shí)EPA燃油效率測(cè)試尚未完成。
據(jù)稱，新車架構(gòu)的堅(jiān)固程度比2015版高出27%，這有助于降低車內(nèi)噪音，提升汽車動(dòng)力性能，并保障乘客安全。車身使用8%熱沖壓成型/高強(qiáng)度鋼合金打造而成，重量較舊版降低了53磅（24公斤）。
新版科魯茲的麥弗遜柱前懸掛與扭梁后橋都使用了鋁和優(yōu)化鋼部件，因此通用汽車首席執(zhí)行工程師Ron
Arnesen認(rèn)為新版科魯茲的底盤系統(tǒng)“也許是這個(gè)級(jí)別中質(zhì)量效率最高的”。新版的車輪尺寸為從15-18英寸不等。
通用汽車在新版科魯茲上使用的新一代1.4L渦輪增壓發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)造就了安靜的車內(nèi)環(huán)境。小型Ecotec汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)首席工程師Tom Sutter告訴《汽車工程雜志》，新版科魯茲車內(nèi)測(cè)得的噪音級(jí)別相比參照車型大眾1.4L
TSI低了50%（6dB(A)）。發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的敞開式鑄模鋁氣缸體構(gòu)成了一個(gè)可強(qiáng)化底部的床板結(jié)構(gòu)，這也使汽車固有的NVH性能得到了提升。
鋁制缸體的重量也比當(dāng)前Family Zero系列的1.4L渦輪發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)所使用的灰鑄鐵缸體輕了20磅（9公斤）。新發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)依然保持舊版的長(zhǎng)沖程設(shè)計(jì)，但新版車型的直噴氣缸壓縮比為10:1，使該發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的SAE功率評(píng)級(jí)提升至轉(zhuǎn)速為5600rpm條件下的153 hp（114 kW），而采用噴嘴燃油噴射的舊版發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)為138
hp
（103 kW）。在扭矩方面，SAE的評(píng)級(jí)結(jié)果為177
lb·ft
（240
N·m）。此外新發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)還使用了摩擦較低的活塞環(huán)、凸輪軸驅(qū)動(dòng)和油泵等部件。新版驅(qū)動(dòng)橋采用了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)M32六速手動(dòng)變速箱和6T35六速自動(dòng)變速箱。
在新版科魯茲的車廂內(nèi)，用戶將看到雪佛蘭標(biāo)志性的雙座艙布局、大量安全功能和車載信息娛樂配置。中控臺(tái)上的7英寸MyLink屏幕不僅能與Google Android
Auto和Apple CarPlay互相兼容（使用后者的用戶可配置8英寸屏幕），還配有無線手機(jī)充電的功能。Android
Auto要求用戶使用Android
Lollipop 5.0或以上的手機(jī)，而Apple
CarPlay則要求用戶使用iPhone
5或更高級(jí)別的機(jī)型。此外車內(nèi)還配有支持Wi-Fi熱點(diǎn)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)安吉星 4G LTE。新版科魯茲的汽車安全功能包括側(cè)邊盲區(qū)警示、車后超車警示、車道偏離警示和前方碰撞警示等。
目前，將于北美上市的2016年新版科魯茲由通用汽車俄亥俄州洛茲敦工廠負(fù)責(zé)生產(chǎn)，公司為此投入了5000萬美元以升級(jí)生產(chǎn)設(shè)施。
2016 Chevrolet Cruze is larger, longer, and sheds 250 lb
General Motors’ best-selling global product, the Chevrolet Cruze, gains an all-new platform for 2016 that helps make the C-segment model longer, roomier, more aerodynamic, and lighter—shedding 250 lb (113 kg)—while gaining the new 1.4-L direct-injected turbocharged gasoline engine with stop-start and a suite of available connected-vehicle technologies.
A 1.6-L turbodiesel sourced from GM’s Szentgotthárd, Hungary, plant currently offered in Opel models is scheduled to debut in North American Cruze models in early 2017.
To be sold in over 40 countries, the new Cruze shifts to GM’s D2XX compact platform which succeeds the current Delta II that is shared with Buick Verano, Chevy Equinox, Opel Astra, and others. The four-door notchback body style is expected to be joined by a five-door hatch. A slight increase in wheelbase, to 106.3 in (2700 mm) from the current 105.7 in (2685 mm), along with 2.7 in (69 mm) longer overall length, makes the new Cruze larger than competitors Honda Civic,Ford Focus, Dodge Dart, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Sentra, and VolkswagenJetta.
Inside, the car is roomier than its predecessor and boasts more rear legroom—36.1 in (917 mm)—and 2 in (51 mm) more rear knee room than Focus and Elantra, according to GM. Front and rear tracks carry over from the current Cruze, at 60.8 in (1544 mm) and 61.3 in (1557 mm), respectively.
Like the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, the new Cruze’s overall height has been reduced—by nearly 1 in (25 mm), giving it a sleeker look and enabling a 0.29 coefficient of drag (Cd)—a factor in the car achieving the estimated 40-mpg highway fuel efficiency, engineers noted. EPA fuel efficiency testing was not yet completed at the car’s June 24 reveal.
The new body architecture, claimed to be 27% stiffer overall than the 2015 model, is expected to help further decrease cabin noise as well as improve vehicle dynamic performance and occupant safety. The body shell uses about 8% hot-stamped/high-strength steel alloys that help reduce mass by 53 lb (24 kg) versus the incumbent Cruze's.
Executive Chief Engineer Ron Arnesen calls the Cruze’s chassis system “perhaps the most mass-efficient in the segment,” with aluminum and optimized steel components used in the MacPherson strut front suspension and in the torsion-beam rear setup. Wheel size ranges from 15 to 18 in.
GM’s switch to its new-generation 1.4-L turbocharged engine for Cruze contributes to the car’s interior quiet. Measured noise levels are up to 50% quieter—6 dB(A)—than the benchmark VW 1.4-L TSI, Small Ecotec Gas Engines Chief Engineer Tom Sutter told Automotive Engineering. The engine’s open-deck, diecast aluminum cylinder block features a bedplate architecture that stiffens up the lower end, also contributing to inherently better NVH attenuation.
The aluminum block is also 20 lb (9 kg) lighter than the grey iron block in the current-gen Family Zero 1.4-L turbo engine. Still a long-stroke design, the new engine also gains direct injection that, along with a 10:1 compression ratio, helps boost its SAE-certified power rating to 153 hp (114 kW) at 5600 rpm—up from 138 hp (103 kW) on the previous port-injected unit. SAE rated torque is 177 lb·ft (240 N·m). Low-friction piston rings, camshaft drive, and oil pump are used. Transaxles are a standard M32 six-speed manual and available 6T35 six-speed automatic.
Inside Cruze, customers will find the Chevy-signature dual cockpit layout with vast safety capability and infotainment connectivity. The 7-in MyLink screen in the center stack is compatible with Google Android Auto and Apple CarPlay—the latter available with an 8-in screen, and offers wireless phone charging. Android Auto requires a phone running the Android Lollipop 5.0 operating system or above, while Apple CarPlay requires an iPhone 5 or later. There’s standard OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot. Available safety features include side blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and forward collision alert.
Cruzes sold in North America are being built at GM’s Lordstown, OH, complex, which received a $50-million upgrade for the 2016 program.
2016科魯茲的總高度比2015版降低了接近1英寸，從而使拖動(dòng)系數(shù)達(dá)到0.29。
2015年6月24日，通用汽車全球產(chǎn)品研發(fā)執(zhí)行副總裁Mark Reuss在底特律揭開了2016雪佛蘭科魯茲C級(jí)轎車的面紗。
通用汽車全新的1.6L Ecotec渦輪汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)采用鑄模鋁氣缸體與燃油直噴機(jī)制，功率比當(dāng)前使用的鐵氣缸體1.4L渦輪發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)高出14 hp (10 kW)。工程師們致力于降低2300psi（15.9-MPa）系統(tǒng)的NVH數(shù)值和“類似于PFI”的噪音。該發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的壓縮比為10:1，使用的是普通辛烷值燃料。（圖片由David Kimble提供）
