Why it stands out

The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze stands out as the start of a redesigned second generation that aimed to correct the weaknesses of the original car. Chevrolet improved fuel economy, added more rear seat room, and brought in modern safety and infotainment technologies. It was also offered in sedan and hatchback form, giving buyers a more versatile compact car than before.

For 2016, the Cruze came only 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. That engine could use as little as 6.8 L/100 km combined, which made it a strong choice for shoppers who wanted efficiency without giving up everyday drivability. The cabin also leaned into value, with the base Cruze L getting a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, OnStar, Bluetooth, keyless entry, and steering wheel-mounted controls. Higher trims could add features such as a sunroof, SiriusXM satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and active safety systems including automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alerts, blind spot alerts, and lane departure warnings with lane keep assist.

What makes the 2016 Cruze especially appealing is that it combines low running costs with a much better reliability reputation than the earlier car. Consumer Reports rated the 2017 and 2018 models above average, and CarComplaints.com showed far fewer and less serious complaints than for first-generation Cruzes. The main caution is that some reliability trackers still gave the second-generation car middling marks, and Consumer Reports rated the 2016 models for electrical problems. Even so, the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze offers a practical mix of efficiency, features, and improved refinement that helps it feel like a more complete compact car.
