- Owners rate the Chevrolet Cruze between 3 and 4.7 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied to model-year condition and maintenance history, so a careful inspection and service-record review are especially worthwhile.
What Chevrolet Cruze do most buyers choose?
The Chevrolet Cruze years with the most listings are 2017, 2018, and 2016.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|

| 2018 | 295 | 31.9% |
| 2016 | 259 | 26.6% |
| 2015 | 197 | 20.8% |
| 2019 | 167 | 31.1% |
| 2014 | 147 | 23.1% |
These years tend to be the most popular because they combine strong availability with the Cruze’s newer-generation features, including better fuel economy, more interior space, and modern infotainment and safety technology. Higher listing counts also give you more choice across trims and equipment levels.
What is the Chevrolet Cruze's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |

That creates a favourable setup for used buyers who want a newer compact car at a lower asking price than a year ago. The smallest changes are concentrated in the older and mid-cycle years, while the newer examples show sharper movement.
The 2016, 2014, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

CarGurus recommends the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze
Summary
With 299 currently listed for sale and an average price of $12,147 CAD, 33.1% of 2018 Chevrolet Cruze listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze 4.7 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Chevrolet Cruze stands out as a compact car that blends everyday practicality with a more polished feel than many shoppers expect at this price point. Chevrolet redesigned the Cruze for 2016, and by 2018 it offered improved fuel economy, more rear seat room, and modern safety and infotainment technologies. It was also available with a practical five-door hatchback body style, which added versatility for buyers who wanted more cargo flexibility than a sedan could provide.
For 2018, the Cruze’s standard engine was a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder making 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Chevrolet also offered a 1.6-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder that produced 137 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque, and the diesel could use as little as 6.3 L/100 km in combined driving. The Cruze’s equipment list was a strong point too: even the base model came with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, OnStar, Bluetooth, keyless entry, and steering wheel-mounted controls, while 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.
That mix of value, technology, and efficiency makes the 2018 Cruze appealing to buyers who want a sensible commuter or family runabout without giving up too much comfort. It is also described as much more reliable than the original Cruze, and Consumer Reports rated the 2017 and 2018 models above average. The main trade-off is that some reliability trackers still give the generation middling marks, and the diesel and manual versions were slower sellers, but for shoppers prioritising fuel economy, features, and a roomy cabin, the 2018 Cruze has a lot going for it.
