At the same time, they are not only built on a common platform, but even produced at one factory. But whether new Chevy is really able to compete with their European relative - a big question
Presented
"World" Jeeming car Chevrolet Cruze appeared in 2009. His model range began with a sedan, to which the hatchback was added in 2011, and soon the wagon joins them. Cruze assembly is established at the GM plant in Shushary under Peter. The current generation of Opel Astra, whose world premiere was held in the same 2009, the fourth time. Its release is also organized at the GM Peter Plant. In our market, the new Astra is on sale since the spring of 2010, and is available along with the previous generation. Hatchback is the basis of the current model line Opel Astra, in which, besides it, the wagon and three-door version of the GTC are included.
Looked
Absolutely unlike the interiors of our rivals under the clue is replete with unified elements - they have the same steering wheel levers, the buttons of the windows and the keys on the steering wheel. But the Opel Astra salon leaves a more pleasant impression: finishing materials are kinder than in Chevrolet. In addition, there is a suspicion that the bright "canvas", which went to the upholstery of the front panel Cruze, will be quite a brand. Almost the entire Cruze increase in length (91 mm) compared to Astra went to his trunk. Therefore, it has more volume, despite the full-size spare. But Opel has a double floor in the cargo compartment, the height of which can be adjusted.
Rolled out
The Atmospheric Motor Chevrolet Cruze is better "lucky" on the Nizakh, and therefore crawling in the drums of Moscow traffic jams with it is more convenient. But it is worth it to appear a little, and Astra with her explosive turbophop will immediately play off. And on the operational space and does not leave Chevrolet Cruze no chance. Opel suspension is more resistant - better working out irregularities and does not allow the swing. Cruze the suspension is slightly softer, but hardly more comfortable. Accordingly, Astra rulits pleasant, and turns more precisely. Chevrolet Cruze can oppose it only easier shifting gear (on Opel Efforts Tense) Yes, a little better visibility through the side mirrors. This is clearly not enough in order to compose the account.
Amterate
Prices for the basic Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.6-liter motor and manual box begin with 562,000 rubles. Opel Astra with a 1.4-liter atmospheric unit and "mechanics" is estimated at least 593,900 rubles, and with a 1.6-liter engine will cost 629,900 rubles. The most expensive Chevrolet Cruze - with a 1.8-liter 141-strong unit and "automatic" - pulls at 769,000 rubles. Opel Astra in the top version of Cosmo with a 1,4-liter turbo engine of almost the same power and an automatic box worth a little more expensive - 794,000 rubles, and a similar machine, but with the most powerful engine in the gamma - 1.6 turbo, 180 hp . - It will cost 849,000 rubles. Taking into account the superiority of Opel in the equipment we have an exemplary parity.
Outcome
Editor:
Chevrolet Cruze - the car seems to be a good, but some kind of boring and non-accompatible. He does not have bright features, memorable damn neither in design, nor in behavior. In general, I Cruze "did not hook". Another thing is Astra! Here everything is in order and with charisma, and with emotions, and with pleasure from the ride. The current generation of Astra was rare successful. Of course, it is possible to speculate about the price difference and the advantage of the participated in the Opel test over Chevy in the equipment and power of the motor. But even in versions with the engines of one volume and comparable grades of Chevrolet Cruze is not so cheaper than the Opel Astra so that the desire to give him preference to appear.

Information and entertainment device installed on Chevrolet Cruze MyLink.. It makes it possible to manage all multimedia devices and always in touch. Using a USB connection, you can easily connect to your smartphone, and display the necessary information to the touchscreen vehicle.
Chevrolet Cruze is performed only with gasoline engines. Two motors have a volume 1.6 litersPower 109 and 113 horsepower. More powerful engine volume 1.8 L. possessed 141 hp.
What common
Cars Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra are designed on one platform Delta II.. The front-wheel drive Delta II was designed by German Opel Unit Engineers. The rear suspension on the platform is positioned as a semi-independent, and is considered a more wear-resistant than completely independent.
Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra brands have engines with turbocharged - an effective measure for increasing the power of a motor based on the compression of the incoming air using the energy of the exhaust gases.
What is the difference
CHEVROLET CRUZE car is somewhat inferior to Opel Astra in high-speed indicators. Opel's highway on the technical characteristics of acceleration and overall speed wins with an explicit advantage, because it is focused on rapidness. Overclocking up to hundreds of Opel 2.3 seconds fasterthan at Chevrolet.
Course stability Opel Astra in special modes, for example, in high speed corners, much more stable than the Chevrolet Cruze. The risk of driving or demolition of the car in Opel is significantly lower. Chevrolet handling, especially at limit speeds, leaves much to be desired.
The amount of fuel consumed by car affect the quality of gasoline and travel conditions. In all cases, the actual fuel consumption of Opel Astra 2% lowerthan in Chevrolet Cruze.
Interior Opel Astra is made using qualitative materials, looks expensive and noble. The assembly does not cause complaints that for German cars a good tradition. Internal decoration Chevrolet Cruze looks easier for plastic soft, and scratches quickly appear on it.
If we compare the trunk, then the Chevrolet is more compatible, and has a volume of 500 liters. The luggage compartment Opel is less than a quarter, and is represented in the amount of 375 liters.
The greater the minimum reversal radius, the worse the maneuverability of the car. The Chevrolet CRUZE parameters for this indicator have an advantage over Opel Astra by 15%.
What car choose
For trips to highways, especially at high speed, the Opel Astra preference should be preferred. The car clearly holds the road and easily managed. In urban conditions, you can choose a more budget Chevrolet Cruze. Savings will be and when buying, and during operation, if there is a need to replace any unit.
If silence in the cabin plays an important role, then Opel Astra will satisfy this need for interest. External noises during the trip do not deliver anxiety. But Chevrolet Cruze, on the contrary, turns the driver with the crash of the suspension. Depreciation racks are not finalized, and serve as a source of noise.
On an uneven road, Chevrolet door seals are controversial.
To travel to the cottage, a large luggage space is needed, which is present in Chevrolet Cruze. If fast ride is not in priority, and get to the country site is planned in a calm mode, then Chevrolet will be the best option compared to Opel.
C-class cars. And it is not surprising. On the one hand, there is a fairly wide selection of economical, well-equipped cars, while prices remain relatively affordable, on the other - the presence of many cars similar to each other may even cause confusion. What is better, Chevrolet Cruise or Opel Astra? Both belong to both General Motors are issued. However, this is not twins. Each model has its advantages, and the shortcomings are traced. Let's tell about it in more detail.
Appearance
Fans of previous generations Opel Astra will not be disappointed. The continuity is visible to the naked eye. However, new trends should not be noted. It seems that the body is generally devoid of straight corners. All this gives Opel modern appearance. Plus perfect aerodynamics and adds a car sustainability on the road. The form corresponds to the content. Although Opel Astra and you won't call the racing car, the dynamic and speed characteristics are very and very worthy.
Designers also tried to give him some sportiness fence. And not to say that it was not possible. For example, the massive radiator grille gives the appearance of the car hint on the animal power and the grace. Good headlights turned out. Extracted along the housing, they are a little bit like the eyes of some infernal predator. But the bumpers are thinners - it is even somehow embarrassed from the overall concept of the car.
If you choose Cruise or Astra, focusing only on the body, it will win Opel. Despite some successful solutions, Chevrolet Cruze looks unfinished. But in this respect is perfect - nothing superfluous, everything is in its place.
Salon
Opel developers are clearly admirers of high-tech style. To make sure it is enough to look at the torpedo. Such a number of buttons, togglers and other types of switches you will see except on the interplanetary starrel. In order to study all this abundance, a considerable toliary of time will be required. But it is worth it, because then you can manage all the main functions of the car, even without releasing the view from the road. About the materials of the finish can not say anything bad, they are not high-quality, non-accurant seams are not at all.
Salon Chevrolet either did not stripped. Qualitative materials, no less accurate than a competitor, seams. Designers Chevrolet Cruze When working out the parts of the cabin, once again focused. There are also smooth lines of finishing elements, and the instrument panel, which the "wells" frames are divided into three parts. As a result, the instrument panel looks so stylish that, with other things being equal in the choice of Opel Astra or Chevrolet Cruze, it may well swing a cup of weights in favor of Chevrolet. Especially I would like to note the presence of many pockets, branches and other "whins". There is where to put small things to always be at hand.
Engine and transmission
To the services of Opel Fans Two. Both gasoline engines. One engine produces 180 "horses", the second - 101. Depending on personal preferences, you can choose. Are you a fan of active ride and crave a complete control over the car? At your service old good mechanics. Return mostly in the city and appreciate comfort and convenience (even at a loss of dynamics) - take the "automatic". Fortunately, he is good at Opel Astra: transfers switched without delays, it is possible to choose different algorithms.

Amateur Chevrolet selection a little bit. However, quite recently, Chevrolet Cruze also completed with two engines. Namely, the volume of 1.6 liters and the power of 109 horsepower for fans of minimalism and a volume of 1.8 liters with a power of one hundred forty with horses nuts. Another engine was recently added, which, when it seemed, a small amount of 1.4 liters produces exactly 140 horsepower. Plus, at the expense of a small volume, this motor has an enviable economy. In the Cruze VS Astra dispute, we put the plus card.
Behavior on the road
Chevrolet Cruze Test Drive:
As can be seen from, Cruise is not a particularly powerful car. It is good in the traffic jams of a modern major city (a beautiful "on Nizakh" contributes to this), but the Astre will definitely lose on the track. And Opel has all the settings "sharpened" at high speed. In a measure, the hard suspension perfectly "processes" all the irregularities of the track, well-adjusted steering will not give the driver to lose control over the car in a cool turn. Chevrolet has worse handling.
Opel Astra Test Drive:
Outcome
Let's summarize. The advantages of Opel Astra can be considered:
- stylish body;
- good aerodynamics;
- futuristic steering column;
- powerful engine;
- good transmissions;
- beautiful suspension and accurate steering.
No less advantages and Chevrolet Cruze. Namely:
- stylish headlights;
- beautifully decorated instrument panel;
- many pockets and departments for small things;
- large selection of power units.
So Astra or Cruze? An unambiguous answer is very difficult to give. Cruz a little cheaper and as mentioned above, well shown itself when traveling around the city. Element Astra Country Routes, but she will show himself at the traffic light. But it is already more expensive. So choose based on personal preferences - both cars are worthwhile.
Here, after a long time I decided to unsubscribe. Background: I thought the throttle knot, then to the sensors, it turned out to be in the ignition module, in the process of the cruiser of the weden of the flywheel, randomly brings the housing of the CATER CTP in the starter area and so \u003d) for a long time he did not decrease to write that . Of course, I am not the first with whom this could happen at the most appropriate moment. But in my case it was an option to change the position at work and life forced the events! Now I'm waiting for a child and a wedding day, with which you can congratulate me.
So for repairing money will not be soon, everything is on the preparation and credit for the car! Due to hopelessness of the situation, the pit was not finished, of course, it is not over, but in full growth (170) you can stand, slightly crowding your head, under the car. The car from home was drawn on the cable, but she did not want to start the option was 2 ignition module, fuel. In this (2) time, we were able to shove the car in spite of the rain, with the help of neighbors.
The pit seemed slightly inconvenient, or rather short for my car, I had to remember Cleanings with a machine gun under obstacles. Put the back, and was glad that the suspension was not understated \u003d) the starter was removed long ago. He took off the protection of the crankcase (some round gums left, who knows where to shove? Unscrew the thrust from the gearbox (do not believe if somewhere you read what you need to put the rear speed and then unscrew the nuts from the wheels. I also tried the wheels Equally spin \u003d)) the only thing you need is to mark the strip where there was a connection with a pinch with a straight screwdriver on the nanile dirt. Unscrew the bottom cover of the clutch crankcase.
The wheels are not a problem, but the nuts will be remembered for a long time! The nuts are specifically bent so that they themselves are not unscrewed. There was no suitable chisel in the garage, and a screwdriver and a chisel went to the move (the kingdom of heavenly). Something coped to the existing tool, but in the future I fell a little chisel \u003d) before further procedure requires a 2nd person, but can take it?! \u003d) I decided to insert the shaped keys from furniture in the disks of the DC. Next, it was necessary to find the head for 30! On the way to the store wandered home and found a suitcase testing (future). I took from there (as I was then seemed to) a more convenient goroton. Long handle at the end of the cardan. But in the process he seemed fragile.
In the Internet, also faced the fragility of keys into the process of unscrewing such nuts. There were advice to buy a balcony key from Gazelle or Zila. In the morning I decided that if another key would not help, then in the planned trip, for the army bakers home, buy a new key. He took the usual knot (on the piece of iron slides fastening the head). Fortunately, he was stronger, but how I did not jump on it (even the sole on the right boot took it away! Nothing turned out.
He also aggravated the steering wheel, which was easily rotated along with the drives and was hard to control. Thus, the key constantly tried to scratch the wing Nut did not succumb. I found some kind of tube cm 15-20 so that in it to combine the end of the key and scrap, but it only swept it \u003d). Accidentally pushed one of the neighbors and, fortunately, it turned out to be a tap pipe. That's what helped me! He asked the same test on the phone (on the heart).
I went shopping. Immediately I drove home behind shoes, my father's home almost convinced that the filler was needed for removing the flywheel. Next to the house went into the fasteners of the nuts turned out to be 30r, I decided to postpone the purchase to the market. On Antoshka walked first to shop.
The very first seller rushed for a long time in search of a puller for the flywheel VAZ 2110, and asked for help from colleagues. A little later, they realized that he was not needed there \u003d) I decided to acquire just in case a puller for the ball t. K. according to plan to remove drives! (As it turned out, the finger is not needed to remove). What they just did not offer on the market. Some soldier, (which turned out to be for the classics) in one place 100 rubles.
But he did not find the seller, sent 250 to his neighbors, seek a bolt in a long nut \u003d), in another place I was explained that I don't need it. The appropriate puller for the ball turned out to be 100 rubles cheaper than others (250 rubles they are also scored from the steering). In the market, the nuts were at the same price as in the store here and bought. The next day it was necessary to remove the drives of the front wheels there 2 bolts on each side. (Only then I learned that you do not need to unscrew from my finger \u003d)).
Then lining all sorts of wooden bars. Metal blade pulled out drives from the box. Unscrew the work box was not (3 bolts and 1 nut with a stud, which seemed to be in a box, but still found). Completely to shoot it alone! After unscrewing, the boards and jack on them were put under the car.
Slightly subdomains with all the attempts to pull it out something prevented. And then I remembered about some kind of left support that seemed right for me \u003d) (and I did not see the engine for me.) You can unscrew the support with 2 ways a) unscrew the nut on top of the support and bottom b) unscrew the mount on the box from support 2 nuts with Wheel side and 1a under the clutch cable fastening. I chose the first. Further the edge of the box brought above the ball as much as the dropping jack lowered the box on the board.
Know! An oil that flows from the shelves of the drives during the removal is left in the muffin box. When removing the basket, again collided with the problem of free rotation. But her strength to overcome only the next day. Slightly tapping the hammer on the old wreath, he does not shift tears from the flywheel (without any chisel and drills to which some resorted!). On the same day, the circumstances successfully developed in half an hour before the arrival threw the flywheel in the freezer. And went to wash in the shower.
After the shower (min 20), everything quickly combined. The next day I decided to install the flywheel and disassemble the box to separate the part that was brushed, so it would be easier to transport. But nothing worked out the neighbor proposed waiting for his friend who said that it was necessary to unwind the gearbox. There will have to unscrew the tight nuts tightly, and you need to do it together.
He finally convinced me to unwind me too much \u003d) Taking advantage of the case tried to bring the box by car to the nearest service with argon. According to the advice of a friend of the neighbor, there was a pensioner who cooks well, but I met there an inadequate reaction from the workers. Everyone did not care and it was said to be said that they were not engaged in argon (probably they thought it was necessary to shoot the box and it broke them out) After a little perseverance, one master fell silent with some kind of grandfather and finally said that there were no welds. Riding around the district, in the garages I brought an advertisement by a canister. On this day it did not work out and the garage was closed. The next day, removing the money began to double-check the recorded number, got through, replaced 100r / 1cm.
T. K. The car has already been absent. I decided to bring the box on the trolley \u003d). While the time was leaked gasoline from the filter to rinse the place of welding and shard.
At the appointed time, I installed the MCPP in the cart, turned on the 1st speed \u003d) and on the gases! On the same day, before work, the welding finish did not have time because of the lack of the 2nd person (Zabukhal after the holiday). On the second day I took my miracle on the same carte \u003d) This day was after the night shift, so it took everything in the garage and finished it. (For example, there were about 10, but I said that there is no more than 600r and it will not be) Cooked more from the inside, outside only in the area where the starter does not concern. The next day, immediately after work, I went to Anthoshka. The goal was to find a centering mandrel for clutch, liquid for cleaning carburetors (clean the box), and a boot for a fork.
Walking around the entire Antoshka was not there any mandrels! (Someone made a remark yes who fuck they need? Now the clutch is complete with mandrels go!) I bought the cheapest cleaner carburetors 100r,. (Automaster like), 50 was asked for a boot. It went shopping, there I found a boot for 35, on one mandrel for 50 and for 150. Slightly doubting in the proportions that they should represent from themselves, went home on the road to fasteners. Similar proportions were in an option for 150 rubles (3 levels), but in the fastener for 150 sold the same as for 50 rubles (2 levels). It was decided to return to the first store and take for 50 rubles.
Only the edge was 15-17 and not 20. Later in the garage, the mandrel was tested and it turned out to be enough. Split a basket with clutch. I started cleaning the box from Nagar and and dirt nagwesch on oil drips.
I did not like the cleaner. ABRO was used in front of him, he has a pressure of 2 times more, it is not necessary to rub everything that all fell off almost itself. (I bought it once for 220 fasteners the same 140r) but still cleaned it not bad. Gram 300 left! \u003d) Next time I decided to establish a box, even called a neighbor who proved his candidacy. Only he didn't get anything, grabbed the gentle of the oil level to tighten the box, then it was wondering that his wife waits for her to go.
Realizing almost a hopeless position decided to strain and something invented something. At first threw the box under the car on the 1st tree. Then, somehow threw the left edge on the ball, the wooden bar was substituted under the right.
Put another rustling of a little left and put a jack on it. Rimming the jack left edge tried further and continue to stick the edge into the ball, rearring the bar before the breathing transfer \u003d). Finally, the left edge was nowhere to move, but the place appeared to rearrange the jack closer to the right. Rimming the jack managed to hook the box for the left support! It has almost meant victory. Further attempts to combine the engine did not succeed until I decided to substitute the 2nd area under the engine and lift it with a 2M jack. After it was convinced that both jacks stand tightly, unscrewed the support and began to weaken the 1st jack.
After the edge of the stiletto box appeared on a couple of centimeters, I immediately planted the nut on him and tried to pull it out. I did not pull up the other bolts yet. Only then screwed back the left support and pulled the box. In the place of the welding there was a slight deepening under the starter, there I decided to smell a sealant. The next time I had to kill the whole day to install the drives! They inspired me on exactly with nuts \u003d) 3 rubles acquired stop rings as it was written in the manual.
All dancing with a tambourine and math chants to remember difficult after exiting trance \u003d) the right-hand drive to stick into the box as much as it enters, the second edge stick into the disk and fasten to the ball. Then by making the Wooden bar in size by the chisel, drove them with a hammer on it through the nut the drive in the box (the locking ring should go deeper and stall) with the left-hand drive, only one bolt is only screwed. After the hammer, you can also twist. After that, we twist the ill-fated nuts and bend in the slots. After the assembly, I poured a fusion oil t.
K. There is no money for a new money. On the photo of the bottle with a hose of the blog post was not enough \u003d) I tried to start. The starter twists, but the engine does not grab, from this I made conclusions of gasoline or MW (otreazhazh). So the main goal for replacing the crown and welding of the box is made. Running forward. I will say that the bay of gasoline did not start the machine \u003d (on the module, a dropped wire was discovered on the module that did not give the previous results (I drove meters 200).
In the future, on the sorcerer above the MH, the money will not appear, and there either buy a MH either I will make God's spark (for money the same thing) article from the site: http://www.drive2.ru.
