Why it stands out

The 2018 Chevrolet Cruze stands out as a compact car that tries to feel more polished and practical than its size suggests. Chevrolet redesigned it for 2016 with better fuel economy, more rear seat room, and modern safety and infotainment technologies, and by 2018 it had already built a reputation for being much more reliable than the original Cruze. That combination makes it appealing to buyers who want an affordable small car that does not feel stripped down.

For 2018, the Cruze’s strengths are easy to see in its equipment and efficiency. The base car came standard with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, OnStar, Bluetooth, keyless entry, and steering wheel-mounted controls. It also offered active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alerts, blind spot alerts, and lane departure warnings with lane keep assist. Under the bonnet, the turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder made 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, and it could use as little as 6.8 L/100 km combined. Buyers could also choose the hatchback body style, which added useful cargo space and made the Cruze more versatile than many rivals.

The main trade-off is that the Cruze is still a budget car at heart. The buying guide notes some cheap bits inside, and owner feedback points to concerns about power, especially with the air conditioning on, along with some winter-driving complaints. Even so, the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze remains distinctive because it blends strong fuel economy, a good feature set, and improved reliability into a package that is roomy for its size and easy to live with.
