    Safety Features: Cruze vs Civic

    If you’re like most drivers, safety is an important concern of yours when choosing your next set of wheels, which is why we’re excited to say that both the Chevy Cruze and Honda Civic come with several driver-assist features that can help you be more aware of your surroundings when you hit the road.

    Available features they share include:
    • Lane Keep Assist
    • Rear Vision Camera
    • Forward Collision Alert
    • Automatic high beams

    They also both have an available blind spot monitoring system, which provides a visual cue on your sideview mirror when another vehicle enters your side blind spot. It’s meant to help you merge and change lanes more safely.

    The Chevy Cruze takes this to a whole new level with the available Lane Change Alert feature. When you engage your turn signal, this issues an alert if traffic is approaching too quickly in your intended lane to allow for safe lane changes.

    Without a similar feature in the Civic, you may not be able to change lanes with as much confidence. Learn more about the interior features of the 2019 Chevy Cruze with our interior review.
