The unit gloats a 0.61 top rigging, the tallest in GM's front-wheel-drive stable.

As a proprietor, this author can authenticate that vehicle's absurdly tall equipping. (In top apparatus, the car gets speed on scarcely detectable slopes with your foot off the quickening agent.) 
 
In contrast, the Cruze Diesel’s 9T50 nine-speed automatic boasts a 0.62 top gear, but a lower final drive ratio. Expect a better combined MPG figure from this setup.

Unlike the previous Cruze Diesel, offered only in high-end trim with an automatic, the new model debuts in midrange “LT” trim, with few options available for the stick shift variant. GM has made it clear that it wants to cover a number of bases formerly covered by Volkswagen, so greater diversity is on the way. That includes an RS sport version.
