2018 Chevrolet Cruze review

1. A variety of engine options

The 2018 Cruze sedan comes standard with a 1.4L turbo-four cylinder engine, which returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway for the manual version and 29/40 mpg in the automatic version.

2. Optional hatchback practicality

The open road awaits, and it's a lot easier if you can bring along some more bags or gear. The 2018 Cruze is available as a sedan or a hatchback, for your added convenience. While the sedan has around 14 cu-ft of space, the hatchback ramps things up to 22.7 cu-ft! That means that your trip to the grocery store or your epic road trip will be much easier. 

3. Sporty driving experience

Even the standard 1.4L four-cylinder engine in the 2018 Cruze is turbocharged. With 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque on tap, which can be paired to a fun six-speed manual, the Cruze can be a great back-road driving companion. Add in a good mix of ride comfort and handling prowess, and the 2018 Cruze can deliver a quick dose of fun into your life.

4. A rainbow of color options

The standard palette of silver, white, black, and gray might not suit everyone. If you're looking for something that stands out, the 2018 Cruze has spicy options like Orange Burst (hatchback only), Red Hot, Cajun Red, or Artic Blue. You won't have to risk losing your car in the parking lot ever again.

5. Add sport or luxury

Finding the right 2018 Chevy Cruze is made easier by the mix of trims and optional packages. Step up from the base L and you'll find great features on the optional LS and LT trim levels. The range-topping Premier trim adds niceties like larger wheels, a heated steering wheel, and leather upholstery. If you want to add sportier looks, the RS package (LT and Premier) gets you a rear spoiler, fog lamps, a sports body kit, and RS badging. The 2018 Cruze has a little something for everyone.
