CarGurus recommends the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze
Summary
With 276 currently listed for sale and an average price of $12,227 CAD, 29.0% of 2018 Chevrolet Cruze listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze 4.67 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Chevrolet Cruze stands out as a compact car that tries to feel more polished and practical than many of its rivals. Chevrolet redesigned it for 2016 with better fuel economy, more rear seat room, and modern safety and infotainment technologies, and the 2018 model benefits from that more mature second-generation formula. It is also available with a practical five-door hatchback body style, which adds versatility for buyers who want more cargo flexibility than a sedan can offer.
For 2018, the Cruze’s appeal comes from its mix of efficiency, equipment, and everyday usability. The turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine makes 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, and it can use as little as 6.8 L/100 km combined. The cabin is well equipped even in base form, with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 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.
There are trade-offs, though. The Cruze’s styling is described as bland, and some cheap interior bits keep it from feeling fully premium. It is also not the strongest choice if outright power is a priority, and owner feedback notes that some drivers wish for more performance, especially with the air conditioning running. Even so, the 2018 Cruze remains appealing because it combines good fuel economy, a comfortable ride, useful technology, and a reputation for being much more reliable than the original Cruze.
