For years the global market has known about the fuel-efficiency advantage diesel engines have to offer. Yet, a diesels engine’s reputation of being slow and dirty has hurt mainstream acceptance. Several auto manufacturers, now including Chevrolet, have made it a goal to change that notion. Turbochargers have helped increase performance and acceleration while new technologies help clean diesel engines to produce 90% less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions and lower particulates than older generation diesel engines. The 2014 and 2015 Chevrolet Cruz Clean Turbo Diesel 2.0L is able to offer gasoline powered V6 performance with considerably lower fuel consumption and increased range per tank of fuel. The 2014-2015 Chevy Cruz Clean Turbo Diesel is the first clean diesel car ever produced by a U.S. automaker and with an EPA-estimated 46 MPG highway the clean diesel Cruz is set to give North American car buyers an option besides a Volkswagen TDI model.

Just because the main benefit of a 2014-2015 Chevrolet Cruz 2.0L Clean Turbo Diesel is its impressive highway fuel economy doesn’t mean the performance side of the engine should go unappreciated. Diesel engines shine in the torque department and the Chevy Cruz Clean Turbo Diesel doesn’t disappoint. The Chevy 2.0-liter turbo diesel is rated at 258 lb-ft of torque and that power comes on low in the RPM range where it’s needed the most. Advanced Engine Management (AEM®), has excelled in improving performance of turbocharged engines and doesn’t feel that small displacement or diesel engines should be ignored. AEM Induction Systems offers a performance upgrade for 2014-2015 Chevrolet Cruz Clean Turbo Diesel models with short ram air intake 21-741.

An AEM cold air or short ram intake system is able to improve an engine’s efficiency by reducing the amount of power being spent on drawing air into the engine. Typically, the factory air intake tubing, stock air filter box, and disposable air filter is a significant point of restriction in modern cars and trucks. The stock components are particularly restrictive in cars with turbocharged engines. By replacing restrictive factory components with an AEM CAI or short ram intake system, the engine is able to breathe easier, in turn increasing performance by boosting horsepower and torque which results in quicker acceleration.
