Chevrolet Cruze (09 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 26 March 2009 Last Updated: 01 February 2010 The Cruze represents a major leap forward compared with Chevrolet's Lacetti saloon. Bold styling, a good spread of petrol and diesel engines as well as neat handling are all things the Lacetti saloon lacks - but that's not the case with the Cruze. The diesel might be a little noisy, but at least there is one available (this was never offered on the Lacetti in the UK) with a choice of two power outputs. The interior has been attractively styled, too and although the Cruze competes on price with the Kia Ceed, Hyundai i30 and Skoda Octavia, it is significantly larger, making customers feel like they're getting more for their money. 3.5 out of 5 Other Chevrolet reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Comfort The cheapest Cruze comes without air conditioning as standard, but has a CD stereo and electric front windows. LT models come with automatic climate control and cruise control. There is plenty of room for four adults, and probably five at a squeeze.

However there are split folding rear seat as standard, so the Cruze is up to the task of transporting most of the items associated with everyday family life.

Driving comfort is good, with steering adjustable for both reach and height. View full gallery Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
