Why it stands out

The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze stands out as the start of a much-improved second generation. Chevrolet redesigned it for 2016 with better fuel economy, more rear seat room, and modern safety and infotainment technology. That combination gives it a more polished feel than the earlier Cruze and helps explain why it appealed to buyers looking for a compact car that felt more substantial without giving up affordability.

For 2016, the Cruze came with a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine making 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. It could use as little as 6.8 L/100 km combined, which was very good for the class when the car was new. The base Cruze L also came standard with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, OnStar, Bluetooth, keyless entry, and steering wheel-mounted controls, while higher trims could be equipped with a sunroof, SiriusXM satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alerts, blind spot alerts, and lane departure warnings with lane keep assist.

It is also worth noting that the 2016 Cruze was rated above average by Consumer Reports, and it has been recalled infrequently. At the same time, some reliability trackers still gave it middling marks, and Consumer Reports dinged the 2016 models for electrical problems. That makes it an appealing used-car choice for shoppers who want efficiency, features, and a more refined compact sedan, but who still need to inspect carefully before buying.
