To maximize performance and efficiency there are five driver selectable drive modes of Conserve, Normal, Excite, Slippery and Snow/Sand. On a 68-mile run, setting the adaptive cruise control at 65 mph and after fully charging the battery, we averaged 58 mpg. Rear seat room is generous for this class. A family resemblance.

The “wet” part of a DCT means it uses oil to improve lubrication and cooling. A “dry” DCT does not use oil, but is the more fuel efficient of the two types. We did a bit better on a 120-mile freeway run with the adaptive cruise control set at 65 mph, achieving 28.1 A torquey turbo four. The light show. Some of both obviously.

Running on 87 octane, the front wheels (all-wheel drive is not available) are driven through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that has five driver selectable drive modes of Eco, Normal, Sport, Slippery and Snow/Sand. If you want extra oomph select the Sport mode where we were able to get 0-60 mph times of 8.3

3 B-Cycle gasoline engine is the first example of Volkswagen’s “Rightsizing” strategy—an engine development strategy that looks to for the optimal balance of displacement, output, torque and efficiency based on vehicle class and real-world operating conditions, rather than just seeking to downsize. Third, the EA888 2.0TSI Gen.3

The new turbo engine and a leaner architecture that reduces up to 250 pounds (113 kg) also contribute to the new Cruze’s stronger performance, with expected 0-60-mph acceleration of eight seconds. Variable-flow oil pump enhances efficiency. Piston-cooling oil jets contribute to optimal performance, efficiency and refinement.

Addition of two oil “rooms” within the transmission housing for more efficient and higher-capacity cooling. In addition to improving 0-to-60 mph and quarter-mile times, this zero-delay acceleration response allows the driver to experience a heightened sense of G-loading.
