2014 Cruze LS 1.8L vs. 2018 Cruze LS 1.4T 1st generation vs 2nd generation 1.8L 2 runs both timed right around 9 seconds 1.4T 1 run timed between 7.5-8 seconds Both are stock
1.8 is smooth but very loud under heavy exhilaration. I can't speak for the 1.4 turbo, but being a second generation, it's got to be better. As far as performance goes, no doubt the 1.4T would be faster especially at the top end, and more power gains capable for tuning 💪
That Vibe has an engine that actually makes good power, especially at the top end. Ecotecs aren't exactly rev happy unless they've been tuned. Even then they aren't all that.
Let’s be honest here These cars are not muscle cars or sport cars etc/ they are a day to day driving vehicle meant to get u to places from A to Z. But with that being said they are not a bad daily car. However pushing them and miss using them as a type of car that they aren’t will drop the lifespan etc of this vehicle. U can easily get 200,000 miles on these cars and possibly even more if driven, treated, and taken care of the right way. If a ford focus can make it to 200,000 miles that I drive for a work car 😂, I’m pretty sure these can too.
In Australia the 1.4T Cruze’s are pretty gutless, but we also have a 1.6T Cruze that is far better, more punchy and actually fun to drive. You compare the 1.8L/1.4T against the 1.6T and the difference is astonishing. The 1.6T do have sport mode. We didn’t get a successor Cruze, only the Holden Astras. The sedans are basically rebadged Chevy Cruze and are only available in the 1.4T. The hatches come in either a 1.4T or a 1.6T. The 1.6T Astra can almost match a Golf GTI. 0-100km stock it can get below 6.5 seconds.
@@co9648 I’ll clap any gen/motor of cruze with my stock 1.8tsi Jetta. 191hp and 203 ft-lbs stock and just a tune will make 211whp and 270wtq. Stage 3 (bigger turbo, fbo, E20) it can thrash tuned 6 cyl turbo BMW’s on E as well.
The 1.4T is a turbo engine and power drops off dramatically after about 5k rpm’s. The transmission shifts sooner to allow the engine rpm’s to drop where all of the power is.
Yes. Even though it’s relatively quick for what it is you shouldn’t push the 1.4 turbo hard. Cylinder heads are know to crack, the turbo chargers are known to brake. Absolutely make sure you are changing the oil religiously with full synthetic.
It looks like it's an automatic transmission. I wonder why the 1.4 shifted way before redline. I have a 6 speed manual and it doesn't make power until right before it was shifting in the automatic version. It has a rev limiter that won't let you take it above the redline.
*Like and subscribe for more 0-60's and acceleration videos!!*
I always really liked the cluster of the MkI US Cruze, wish more vehicles came with it.
Same

You'd figure they'd be faster than that... My 09 1.8L Vibe with a 4 speed would have a car on the early 1.8 or 1.4T. oof
Your 09 Vibe is a Toyota engine and will outlast the GM 1.8 and 1.4t without question.
That Vibe has an engine that actually makes good power, especially at the top end. Ecotecs aren't exactly rev happy unless they've been tuned. Even then they aren't all that.
An 09 Vibe 1.8L might have a car or two on the Gen 1 1.8L Cruze and maybe even the 1.4T, but definitely not the Gen 2 1.4T..
Toyota Matrix excellent cars!
I thought that car did 0-60 in over 10 seconds and maybe 12 seconds with awd lol? I could be wrong

Wish my 1.4 was that fast 0-60
Make sure it has good airflow and turn off the ac no obstruction
Hey what are the parts specifically? An what websites or places are the best for Chevy mods ?! Been wanting to do a bunch of stuff with my car
The 1st gen 2014 1.8L Cruze was stock besides a drop in K&N filter. The 2nd gen 2018 1.4T was bone stock when this video was filmed.
ZZP does cruise stuff
@Pat Caron the code for stability in my 2016 with the turbo was fixed 2 yrs ago by replacing the coil pack with a new one
nice, looking for the full exhaust for a 1.8 , what is the best cold air intake?
Those 1.4t actually aren't all that bad, in sport mode at least
They don't have sport mode.
Definitely not bad at all though compared to the 1.8L.

@@charlesrodriguez7984 eco
I Learned NOTHING From This Video And I Have Both The 1.4 ECO Is A Slow Dog Compaired To The 1.8 Liter
The Gen 1 1.4T and 1.8L are both slow dogs compared to the Gen 2 1.4T
Holy shit these econo boxes are fast as shit for no reason
Lmao you think this is fast??
That’s a joke right?
Hop in a jetta lmao they're way faster
@@justinnelson1 I'm sorry but jettas are slow too. I hope you're just joking 😂

1.8 - 9 second to 100
Yeah, the 1.8 was about 9 seconds and the 1.4t is around 7.5.
@@AustinB_Productions the 1.4 is around 9 as well
@@Matthias..8----------D no its not. It's between 7.5-8
@@AustinB_Productions supsirsingly with a clock its 8.1 but thats still pretty nice from a 1.4
Why is it not going to redline

lol that 2nd gear is so short on 1.4T
I drive a cruze its clapped as fuck and horribly slow
The 1.8 is definitely slow as hell. The Gen 2 1.4t is actually not bad at all.
I got a 1.8l and it takes a while to speed tbh lmao@AustinB_Productions
What year are these cruzes?
2014 and 2018
My 1998 CR250R accelerates faster than that!
You're surprised?
@@justinnelson1 no not really 1.8’s are small I don’t expect much from them..
1.4T on the 1st gens aren't reliable!
That is correct. The Gen 2 1.4T which is in this video is a little better. The 1.8L which was only in the Gen 1 is the "most reliable" out of the 3.
Yes. Even though it’s relatively quick for what it is you shouldn’t push the 1.4 turbo hard. Cylinder heads are know to crack, the turbo chargers are known to brake. Absolutely make sure you are changing the oil religiously with full synthetic.
basicly an opel astra J
That is embarrassingly slow 😂
Not meant to be fast🤡
@@rahkilmanora8407 Then why see what it can do on a 0-60 🤡🤡 my fucking e scooter is faster 😂😂😂😂
Your scooter hits 60 in 7.5 seconds?
@@akj2387 Look up wolf warrior, plus these cars aren't 7.5 seconds LOL
ah yes, the guy who thinks every car needs to be a sports car. Eco cars must do 0-60 in 1 second and cost $5000 otherwise it sucks, lmao.
🤭🤭
What are the times ?
I timed both of the gen 1 1.8L runs right around 9.0-9.3. Timed the Gen 2 1.4T right around 7.7-7.9.
