Slenderized Next Cruze with Dual-Clutch Gearbox

General Motors work at the next-generation Chevrolet-Cruze. In order to march in step with the competitors, the innovated variant of 2016 is going to lose its weight and receive a fuel efficient dual-clutch automatic change gear with seven speeds.

There is no precise information about the amount of weight which the Cruze is going to lose, though it is said to be significant. The fundamental variant together with manual change gear weights near 3,100 lbs today. Though, the diesel powered model smashes the weigh-scales almost to 3,500 pounds. All the fat-cuttings will elevate the dynamics of driving and rise efficiency.

Future expenditure reduction is a miser-maximizing speed-change box with seven speeds. The dual-clutch model will be created together with its joint venture partner SAIC from China. The higher-trimmed variants of the 2016 Cruze will present it. Two either manual or automatic gear boxes with six speeds will probably be available, alike in the present model.

An innovated range of small powertrains is going to burnish the model’s quality level in future. There are rumours that the innovated Cruze will be thriftier on 14-21% than the present variant.
