The venerable Cruze, introduced for 2011 of Chevrolet, is a solid-however-aging player in the compact-sedan segment, when the new 2016 version goes on sale later in 2013 also it is going to see its first significant redesign. Despite not do too well in its C/D comparison-evaluation looks, the existing Cruze is a fine all around package, albeit one with a somewhat tight back seat, and is notable for being among the few compact cars available using a diesel engine. Cruze costs start at $16,995, but the 2.0TD begins at $26,485 and comes with a high degree of conventional gear. A six-speed manual transmission can be found in a few models, including the fuel- sipping on Eco form, but most variations--including the diesel--feature a six-speed automatic. General functionality is relatively equal and typical for the section among the different powertrains, the 151- several hundred pounds of added mass balancing out the extra grunt of hp diesel.

What's New: The most noticeable change for 2015 of the Cruze is a fresh split-grille snout that brings a greater genetic similarity to the bigger Chevrolet Malibu and Impala sedans. We will not call it amazing, but the appearance is more classy than before. Most tailored levels get new LED daytime running lights. Indoors, the Cruze continues to be modestly updated with new cup holders in addition to door lock buttons relocated to the doors.

That which We Like: The 2015 Cruze's new face undoubtedly adds a touch more sophistication, as well as the modernized inside, especially in higher trim levels with the large touch screen as well as leather, makes the all the plebeian roots of the compact. Ride quality is long haul comfortable thanks to a comparatively soft suspension set up that also handles adequate degrees of traction when cornering. The diesel's 700-mile highway fuel range is quite remarkable, with that version's other highlight being its 280 lb-feet of torque; collectively, they make and stress-free highway. The access to a manual transmission in gas-powered versions means there is at least some additional enjoyment which can be stirred into the Chevy.

That which We Do Not Like: Although the 2016 Cruze that is new is certain to be more complex, the present auto is showing its age and feels a course below some of its newer rivals, such as the 10Best-successful Mazda 3. The cottage of the Chevy seems dull, with a lot of level, unsupportive seats and tough, low-cost plastics. Its back seat is not very loose. Dynamically, the light, uncommunicative steering of the auto nearly completely removes the driver from what small activity the chassis of the Cruze supplies.
