The Chevrolet Cruze was launched in 2009 to rival the likes of the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis. It was introduced at a time when SUVs weren’t as popular as they are today and gained its popularity for being a powerful and feature-loaded executive sedan.
Today, the competition includes models like the Hyundai Elantra and Skoda Octavia, which have taken the game ahead. However, the Cruze still enjoys a strong fan-following thanks to its positioning as a driver-centric performance sedan, while the others lean towards chauffeur-driven owners. Should you choose to Cruze? Let’s find out.

Things We Don't Like in Cruze
Rivals offer better cabin space, comfort and interior trim quality.

"It’s still a great option to consider if you’re a driving-enthusiast."
However, it still gets modern features and thanks to its efficient, yet fun to drive engine, it’s still a great option to consider if you’re a driving-enthusiast. The car has also proven to be quite reliable and enjoys a good reputation in the pre-owned car market too.
