Chevy Cruze Specs

MPG: Up to 31 city / 47 highway
Horsepower: 137 to 153 hp
Fuel tank capacity: 13.5 to 13.7 gal
Overall NHTSA safety rating: 5 star

The Cruze is equipped with a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and offers a turbodiesel engine option for the sedan and hatchback models. Drivers can choose between an automatic or manual transmission for either engine.
This car is designed for efficiency rather than sport performance with its stop-start system, but it still offers energetic, sporty handling that outperforms most of its class. It also delivers a smooth, quiet ride and accelerates nicely. The light steering and effective braking add to its overall driving appeal.

    Most compact cars sacrifice a bit of cabin space to accommodate their small size, but the Cruze has ample legroom and headroom to comfortably seat five people. Three adults can easily share the backseat, and the plush, bolstered seats are incredibly comfortable.
     
    The Cruze also offers one of the largest cargo areas among compact cars, regardless of its style. The hatchback gives way to 22.7 cubic feet of cargo space, and the sedans offer between 14.8 and 13.9 cubic feet. This translates to a few more bags in the Cruze’s trunk than some of its competitors.

    The interior is offered with cloth or leather, with both options of high quality and surrounded by luxurious accents. A touchscreen display is standard and adds to the modern appeal, but a Bose sound system and automatic climate control are upscale options. Finally, all Chevy Cruze trim levels are available with the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, which is crisp, responsive and intuitive. A rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot are also standard features.

      Chevy Safety

      Standard safety features for the 2018 Cruze configurations include a rearview camera and Chevy’s Teen Driver assist system. This system allows you to set limits on speed and stereo volume, as well as producing a driving report card that gives insight into how the driver handled the car. This is valuable for teen drivers and for other people who may borrow the car, providing peace of mind.

      Many advanced safety features are optional, including blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane change alert, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors and follow-distance indicator. Even without the additional safety features, though, the Cruze performed well during the rigorous testing from the NHTSA and IIHS.
