A 2.0 litre Chevrolet Cruze is available up north in our neighbor Thailand, and it’s an oil burner! The new Chevrolet Cruze 2.0 is powered by a 2.0 litre VCDI diesel commonrail engine with a variable geometry turbocharger.
There are actually two 2.0 litre diesel engines that have been put in the Cruze. The first was a 1,991cc engine that made about 150 horses and 320 Nm of torque, which is similar to the unit found in the Captiva. There is also a new second generation engine with a displacement of 1,998cc that makes 163 PS and 360 Nm of torque from just 2,000 rpm.
The 1,991cc engine is used in the Thailand Cruze diesel for now, as revealed by the Thai brochure, but both have appealing output numbers. I do know that the diesel engine is built in Thailand itself, at a new US$445 million diesel engine plant. Could a Cruze Diesel join the ranks of Chevrolet Malaysia’s offerings? I hope so!
It would certainly have its appeal to the Malaysian carbuyer wishing to explore the wonders of diesel power, where you get both mad torque and fuel economy at the same time, but are currently pretty much limited to just one car with an affordable price tag – the Focus TDCi.
