Full Description: Now in its second generation the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze is a popular fuel-efficient compact available as a 4-door sedan or a sporty and versatile 5-door hatchback. The standard engine is a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder making 153 horsepower. Although a 6-speed manual transmission is standard its best fuel economy is achieved with the more popular 6-speed automatic. The EPA rates that combination at 30-mpg city and 40-mpg highway. But the Cruze also offers the only diesel engine in its class. With the manual transmission the 137-horsepower Cruze diesel sedan leads its segment with a 52-mpg highway rating. Although that number drops to 47 mpg with the optional 9-speed automatic its still ahead of the Honda Civic Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Driving the Used 2018 Chevrolet CruzeSmooth quiet and comfortable the 2018 Chevy Cruze is satisfying to drive around town and it feels substantial on the highway with a composed ride and a confident locked-in quality. Its refreshing to find a compact sedan thats actually a really good highway cruiser. Unfortunately despite available forward-collision mitigation lane-keeping assist and other advanced safety features adaptive cruise control is not offered. There may be sportier cars in this class but driving the 2018 Chevy Cruze isnt a snoozer. The 1.4-liter 4-cylinder is a gem quiet and smooth and while it wont wow you with its power the Cruze is hardly slow. The engine also plays very nicely with the 6-speed automatic transmission that is far and away the most popular choice. With the larger 18-inch wheels the Cruze can handle twists and turns well but its steering doesnt offer as much feel as youll find in the FeaturesTEEN DRIVER TECHNOLOGYThis clever system monitors your teens driving habits and sends you updates and alerts.

Control placement is excellent and the seats are comfortable and offer plenty of adjustment. Rear-seat room is tight compared to the Honda Civic but the Cruze does seat five. At seven inches the center-mounted touch screen is large for the class but the optional 8-inch screen which brings more function is well worth the upgrade. We also commend the expanded cargo space 18.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 47.2 cubic feet with them folded in the Cruze 2018 Chevrolet Cruze ExteriorSleek and stylish the 2018 Chevy Cruze sedan bears a striking resemblance to Chevys Volt plug-in hybrid.
