Product Overview

Chevrolet Cruze Sedan is an affordable mid-size sedan in production from 2009 to 2013, whereupon it received a facelift. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displace 1.6L to 2.0L.

The Chevrolet Cruze Sedan is limited to inline-4, which just a decade ago would be considered inadequate but which is what most have to live with today, thanks to regulations.

Suspension-wise, the Cruze Sedan has nothing to write home about.

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The Korean-built Cruze is aimed at what used to be called ‘budget' cars in the UK. As a four-door saloon there aren't any direct rivals for Cruze at present, but obvious alternatives include the Hyundai i30, Kia Ceed and a recently facelifted Skoda Octavia. The diesel is no more frugal nor especially cleaner than equivalent engines from its Korean rivals.

Pros

Powerful diesel engine
Decent range of engines

Cons

Cheap to run
Lack of standard equipment
