Chevrolet Cruze (09 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
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.

Equipment

The petrol S model comes without air conditioning as standard although it's fitted to the diesel S. LS and LT models come with electric rear windows, rear parking sensors and alloy wheels. The flagship LT comes with cruise control, electronic climate control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, upgraded audio system, electric rear windows, larger alloy wheels and the option of an integrated satellite navigation system.
