    Chevy goes greener with the 2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel, but is it cleaner than its sister car, the Chevy Cruze Eco?

    I found a new Cruze Diesel for $21,900. Such a good deal, but I know that it will never pay for itself.

    If you hate diesel think about this.Its hard to compare a 1.4 liter turbo to a 2.0 liter turbo. If you just want to compare gas vs. diesel you would have to compare the Chevy Cruze diesel to its cousin the Buick Verano turbo. Both share the same platform and both have a 2.0 liter turbo but one is gas and the other diesel. The Chevy Cruze starts at $25,695 while the Buick Verano Turbo starts at $29,105. Thats a $3,410 savings. Verano gets 30MPGs while Cruze gets 46MPGs+. Now diesel looks better.

    Diesels don't make sense in some cars. However, they work very well in Mercedes passenger vehicles since they, arguable, make the best diesels. Also, you're going to be paying for premium gas w/o the diesel so the delta for gas to diesel isn't much. There isn't much premium for the diesel car over the gas one either.

      I don’t think these diesels are worth much after the cheating scandal. Also I don’t typically resale my cars… I drive until 300,000 miles (until car starts falling apart). Comes to 6 cents / mile which is a nice bargain

  • @jon368100
    @jon368100 10 лет назад +1

    the EPA is biased against diesels, that fact is known. the payback will be much faster than 101 years (i.e. never lol), probably more like 10.

    • @Lucky8s
      @Lucky8s 8 лет назад

      That's because they're calculating the payback using the combined fuel economy. If they solely used the highway mpg, the payback would be quicker, but it would also be unrealistic.

    Funny, you actually brought up Consumer Reports as if it were an unbiased source, weird :p Now if you could stop joking for a second I'll draw attention to a valid source. Car and Driver were able to get only 27 combined from a 1.8 liter Civic, thats less than the real world city numbers for a Cruze Diesel. Don't believe me? Well a Canadian couple recently obtained near 55 MPG, the car being completely unmodified.

  • @doublen675
    @doublen675 11 лет назад

    Here is the problem and it is spelled out in this video. Why American car companies don't get this is beyond me. EVERY vehicle available with a diesel (Except full size trucks) requires the purchase of some sort of a premium package to go with it. Totally defeating the purpose of the diesel to begin with. Why not just make the engine an option in EVERY trim line? VW is doing it right and that's why they will beat all in sales on diesel in the US.

  • @evilpeach2
    @evilpeach2 11 лет назад

    you are getting a bigger engine with more power and better fuel economy. eco has 1.4 liter turbo engine. This has a 2.0 liter turbo diesel. for $4000 more dollars youre getting a bigger, more powerful engine. the turbo diesel has 13 more horsepower but more importantly 116 more ft-lbs of torque. If they put lets say a 1.4 liter turbo diesel the MPGs would be much greater than the Cruze eco.

  • @Jr210100
    @Jr210100 11 лет назад

    Most of the world buys gas powered passenger cars, not diesel. Europe is unlike other parts of the world. Many Europeans get tax benefits for driving diesels, not because its a smarter, more economical fuel. Europeans have also had different emissions regulations. Many Europeans diesels simply cannot comply with our emissions standards. They can be made complaint, but you'd end up with a car that's less fuel efficient, less reliable, and that is $4,000-$8,000 more than a gas powered car.

  • @JBaustian
    @JBaustian 11 лет назад

    Diesels depreciate more slowly than gas-engine cars, and depreciation is a bigger expense than fuel for most drivers. So CNET is wrong if it thinks the Cruze TD will only be $50/year cheaper to own than the Eco gas-engine model.
    There are only three things wrong with the Cruze TD that I can see: 1) because it weighs 3475 pounds, I don't think it will achieve those MPG numbers in the real world; 2) nearly all reviewers complain about the cramped rear seats; and 3) no manual transmission option.

    Being that diesel cost about $.30 more per gallon...nah I will pass. BTW, wondering why your groceries cost so much lately? Pay attention to the cost of deisel. And no outrage from consumers...cause they think it only affects big ole nasty truck drivers....so who cares, right? With more diesel cars on the road, maybe somebody will get pissrd off and say something. I hope anyway.

  • @doreencameron1comcas
    @doreencameron1comcas 11 лет назад

    I really don't see the point in buying a diesel sedan. They're more expensive to buy, more expensive to maintain, and diesel fuel is more expensive than gas. Yeah you're getting 33mpg, but you can do that in a Ford Fiesta. The only benefit I see in buying a diesel is if it's a truck and you need the 800lbs of torque.

  • @boberson33
    @boberson33 11 лет назад

    No...You didn't... I mean the EX-L, not EX, which has the exact sameengine as an LX. My neighbor has an HF from 2012 and he only got 45hwy when he was hypermiling, that included cutting the engine at 60mph, he's 63, so don't think he was tearing down the freeway, he was far from that. Motortrend hasn't done the Cruze Diesel for MPG yet, but they've estimated at least 42. Consumer Reports reviewers think parttime 4WD is a bad thing, & that comfort beats reliable, believe me, See 4runner review

  • @boberson33
    @boberson33 11 лет назад

    C-Max Hybrid only gets 40 highway, they changed it from 47 because everyone knew they were lying, same price. Scion IQ gets 37 highway, the Mazda Skyactiv diesel probably can get 58 highway, but the gas only gets 39 highway. Most diesels get better mpg during consumer tests like Car & Driver and Motortrend, but I do agree 25k is not exactly cheap, I would go for a cheaper, nicer, better combined mpg Jetta.

  • @mb013962
    @mb013962 11 лет назад

    A '12 civic hf or lx... Consumer reports tested them and got 47 and 49 mpg hwy, respectively...the cruze diesel they tested tied with the hf at 49 in their tests...the cruze diesel is a waste of money IMO

  • @mb013962
    @mb013962 11 лет назад

    They may think that when rating their cars but I'm not talking about that, I'm talking mpg here which they seem to give accurate numbers on...and your neighbor may have different highway conditions than us, my mom has a lead foot and still managed 43 mpg hwy on the same 38 mile route that my aunt got 49.7...sure the cruze diesel may get a little better mpg at lower speed highway driving that the civic hf may but it's not significant enough to justify buying it over a cheaper civic hf or lx

  • @boberson33
    @boberson33 11 лет назад

    It was near 1000ft above sea level and rained once, rest of the trip was sun, he actualy was about to buy a diesel after he found out it had better mpg, but he hasn't officially paid off the car. He told me he'll probably buy one in mid-June. I don't know if you're miscalculating, your car is modified, or you're just from a country where the emission rules are different, thus not putting a bunch of smog bullshit on the car which, in turn, worsens mpg. I dunno, 50 sounds like a bit of a stretch.

  • @Fussinated
    @Fussinated 11 лет назад

    You are lying. I am from Europe and my family owns a diesel. Hybrid technology is a newer and better technology than diesel. Since diesel is only good for highway cruising and carrying loads.
    Also in real life hybrids get better gas mileage as well. check the Honda insight review from mpgomatic for example. It is a 23K car and 46.5 mpg AVERAGE i.e. COMBINED consumption. This is equal to about 5 liters/ 100 Km vs a 1.5 L Renault Clio diesel's 5.5 liters/100 Km in real life. It is %10 difference.

    You don't know the real reason why those people promote diesels. They are mainly Europeans and they want to sell their cars in the US and they do this because they believe American car companies can't produce decent diesel engines. So don't try to reason with them their motivation is more political than practical.

  • @cmanlovespancakes
    @cmanlovespancakes 10 лет назад

    My father had three diesel cars during the late 70s early 80s. We had a Peugeot 504 sedan and wagon, then later a VW Rabbit. They were awful slow, smelly vehicles. The Peugeot's where terrible cars, they were constantly in the shop for something. The VW was only marginally better. Today diesel cars are too expensive, They need to offer the engine in lower base trims. Even with VW one has to buy a mid range model to get diesel.

  • @boberson33
    @boberson33 11 лет назад

    If you take a loan like, oh I don't know, everyone does, you'll still be paying the same amount for the car per month, and a Cruze will sip at about 54.7mpg if you consistently go 50mph-ish. By comparison, Car and Driver only squeezed out 29 mpg combined. Talk about exaggeration, plus, once Americans realize the superiority of diesels, the price of diesel fuel will go down, the price of the cars will go down.

  • @Argedis
    @Argedis 11 лет назад

    I agree it's priced a lot higher,

  • @aardvarkansaw
    @aardvarkansaw 11 лет назад

    My Chevy Cruze Eco's computer always under estimates the amount of fuel used and therefore the computed mileage figures, which are based on the fuel use, are exaggerated by about 10%. In spite of this it appears I get about 38 mpg when at 65 mph in my automatic transmission car.

  • @Fussinated
    @Fussinated 11 лет назад

    By 50 mpg you are referring to a diesel which is an expensive car in the first place, and considering that diesel duel is more expensive in many states than premium. you are saying that you actually choosing a more costly alternative which will not be able to pay itself within the life time of the car. In a simple comparison. it will take about 50 years to even out a Jetta diesels ownership cost to Cruze Eco ownership cost, with more $3000 difference in price. :)

  • @mb013962
    @mb013962 11 лет назад

    First of all cr's road tests are very accurate, we have verified their mpg claims in a '12 civic lx rental where we got 49.7 mpg in 38 miles of hwy driving
    Secondly you're talking about the civic EX that car and driver tested, in the HF that they tested they got 34 mpg, 7 more than the EX

    We were at speeds between 50 and 60 most of the time due to some light traffic (lower speed=more mpg) and the traffic also allowed us to draft off of other vehicles, and then there were only two of us in the car and one bag in the trunk...maybe all of that helped us... And we're also at sea level (we live on Long Island NY)

      The review and to be fair the EPA ratings and fuel savings estimates don't take into the fact how much more you'll save if most of the driving you do is on the highway. In that case it would make much more sense to get one over a gasser.
