5-Speed or 6-Speed Manual Transmission*

Designed with a super smooth short throw for more spirited driving, these manual transmissions have the ideal first gear launch feel and lower cruising revs in the higher gears. Complementing the 1.8L petrol engine on the Cruze Equipe is a smooth shifting 5-speed manual transmission. To enhance the sporty characteristics of the 1.6L iTi turbo petrol engine, it has been mated to a sporty 6-speed manual transmission available on SRi and SRi-V. These transmission feature:

  • A one-piece housing that enables a compact, light design.
  • Needle bearings for all gears to ensure low-friction gear meshing for better shiftability.
  • Enhanced low-gear engagement for smooth and easy launch and shift characteristics.

6-Speed Automatic Transmission

The smooth 6-speed transmission with active select maintains optimum engine economy across a wide range of driving conditions:

  • All models feature a "tap-up/tap-down" active select feature allowing you to select and hold your gears in order to experience a more spirited drive.
  • Clutch-to-clutch shift operation for added precision and smoother shifts between gears.
  • A wide spread ratio. First gear has brisk acceleration with its high ratio. Sixth gear overdrive ratio keeps the engine revolutions as low as possible for highway cruising and improved fuel economy.
  • Sports mode is enabled on 1.6L iTi turbo petrol engine. Sports mode improves acceleration response by either holding the current gear or down-shifting the transmission whilst braking to provide the correct gear before the driver requests acceleration
