Holden Cruze Equipe Specs – Holden launched the 2015 Cruze with what it calls “a bold new look,” although I’m not sure it was that bold, but it created a lot of buzz the week we reviewed it.
Unfortunately for Holden, most comments about its new look haven’t been very flattering, especially for current Cruze owners.

The SRiV sits at the top of the Cruze lineup, and the SRiV I’m testing here came with an optional six-speed automatic transmission and costs $29, $340, or $2,200 more than the manual version.

The new front styling features a dual grille, a chrome strip on the front lower bar and LED daytime running lights. The SRiV rides on redesigned 18-inch wheels shod with Bridgestone Potenza tires.

Aside from the heated leather front seats, which now come with suede inserts, while the seats offer a decent amount of comfort and support, I found the seat difficult to adjust due to the complicated lever.
The instrument cluster is well laid out and easy to read in any light, and features a digital speedometer that comes in handy these days with mobile money machines (sorry speed cameras) popping up everywhere.

The dash is a sea of hard plastics which I found a let down, now although I don’t touch the dash much while driving I think the hard plastics give the interior a lower rent feel than it is.
Equipment levels on the SRiV are good and it comes with several new features including rain-sensing wipers and remote start.
The Mylink multimedia system offers full Bluetooth connectivity and lets you access network-based apps like Pandora and Stitcher from your smartphone.
I found the system easy to use, the sat nav with live traffic updates works well and it comes with a handy feature that can read your text messages.

Something my oldest daughter found funny led to many messages with strange words and phrases just so she could read them all.
The Cruze is one of the biggest small cars on the market, so front and rear legroom is good, as we have 445 liters of boot space thanks to the folding rear seats.
On the road the SRiVs are fantastic, the steering is well weighted and offers good feel and precision.
The Cruze turns in admirably thanks to its firm suspension and sits nice and flat in corners without any noticeable body roll.

While on the firm side, the ride is comfortable, you do feel some imperfections in the road, but they’re not distracting and the mid-corner bumpers aren’t slack.
The SRiV Cruze has a 132Kw 230nM 1.6L turbo 4cyl engine that sticks well on paper, but I found it lacking at low revs.
But then you get the revs on board and it proves to be a keen performer, and the 1.6-litre engine will happily return to redline in any gear.
At 10.5/100km, fuel economy is poor compared to other non-turbo small cars we’ve tested on similar trips.

I’m sure someone can come up with better stats as I think I was enjoying the turbo a bit too much.
The six speed automatic is perfect for the engine and the shifts are smooth, the sport shift function works well and will sense how you drive and change gears accordingly.
The Cruze has a 5-star safety rating and a list of safety features as long as your arm includes ABS, ESC, 6 airbags and comes standard with rear parking sensors and a rearview camera that is readily available in this car due to limited rear. it shows because of the shiny glass on the back.
Although the Cruze has been around for a few years, the latest iteration proves it can still compete well in the small car market.

The SRiV has some negatives in the hard plastic of the dash, the lack of the r’s footrest, the front seat adjustment and the engines preferring 95 RON fuel.
However, the SRiV Cruze still offers an attractive package with a long list of equipment, a 5-star safety rating, generous cabin space, efficiency and the added bonus of a 3-year 100,000 km warranty, lifetime service with fix price. The new Holden Cruze range includes just three different trims for each body style, with the base trim featuring and joined by the updated Z-Series and SRi-Z variants.
The latest, and likely last, iteration of Australia’s only locally built small car will be on hold until the next-generation Cruze sedan is built in Korea – likely in 2017.
The updated Cruze Equipe gets a new 17-inch wheel design and a new hero color option, Slipstream Blue. It comes with a 104kW/175Nm 1.8-litre engine with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

It remains one of the cheapest small cars you can buy, priced from $19,890 plus on-road costs, or an extra $2200 for the car.
This version adds new 17-inch alloys, a rear spoiler, a seven-inch touchscreen with MyLink, Siri voice recognition, leather seats, push-button start and a reversing camera. There are also Z-series floor mats, door sill plates and badges.
The range-topping SRi-Z replaces the SRi-V. It adds 18s, alloy pedals and Z-series trim, along with a body kit and sports suspension. It is also powered by a 132kW/230Nm 1.6 turbo engine with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

And no, we’re not talking BMW M3 vs BMW 320d, but Holden Cruze CD/CDX vs higher spec SRi and SRi-V.
You see, under the hood of the Cruze CD/CDX (read review) is a 1.8-liter petrol or a 2.0-liter turbo diesel, which I thought was an affront to the well-tuned suspension and chassis. The six-speed automatic doesn’t help either.
The Cruze SRi/Sri-V, on the other hand, is a completely different story. First up is the 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, which delivers 132kW of power and 230Nm of torque, according to the Opel Astra GTC Sport. Then there’s the sporty 6-speed manual or the range-topping 6-speed automatic with Sport mode. All packed into a sedan or hatchback body with handling characteristics that would put even some of the “hot hatches” on the market to shame.

The four-pot likes to rev, and the sharp throttle response only works in its favour. Its 0-100 km/h sprint of 8.4 seconds is also respectable. However, the turbo doesn’t kick in until 2,500rpm and there’s a noticeable lag in the lower rev range, which in a manual can be a bit annoying when you’re off the line.
Whichever gearbox you choose, the Cruze SRi/Sri-V’s manual and automatic is a great gearbox. The close-ratio 6-speed manual is smooth and sweet, while the automatic shifts quickly and responsively. Put it in Sport mode and the throttle response becomes sharper and you’ll even have downshifts.
The amazing driving power of these two is the result of a lot of local ideas from Holden engineers. The car handles well with good cornering composure. You don’t mind the slight turbo lag because the car feels like the steering, clutch, brakes and suspension have been fine-tuned over and over again until they’re all perfect. Together, they work so seamlessly that you start to appreciate that the SRi/Sri-V is made by passionate people who really care about driving.
Basically, the Cruze SRi/Sri-V is more than a small car, it’s a very well-balanced, fun-to-drive small car. If we were trying to choose, we’d just like the chassis to be a bit more responsive and the sound sportier.

Our week with the SRi/Sri-V returned an average of 9.1L/100km in the manual and 10.3L/100km in the automatic, with an equal split of city and highway driving. Nothing to shout about, but not too bad either.
The SRi adds to the already well-equipped CD/CDX models 17-inch alloy wheels and a 6-speaker infotainment system with MyLink, 7-inch color touchscreen, smartphone app integration and Bluetooth® audio streaming. Additionally, the top SRi-V gets 18-inch wheels shod with 235-fat tyres, heated leather seats, a rear-view camera and sat-nav as standard.
In terms of safety, the Cruze is equipped with 6 airbags, electronic stability
