Starting at $17,800Media Center
The Cruze is Chevrolet's newest entrant in the highly contested compact sedan segment. It is based on a global platform that has been refined for America with an emphasis on fuel economy.
The Cruze features two new small-displacement four-cylinder engines; a 140-hp 1.4-liter turbo, or a 138-hp naturally-aspirated 1.8-liter.

2012 Chevrolet Cruze News, Reviews and Awards
The Cruze symbolizes the progress that GM is making to sort out its engineering fundamentals, product quality and global manufacturing plan--everything for which the company historically (and deservedly) has been kicked.
It goes toe-to-toe with the Honda Civic, schools the Toyota Corolla and makes the outgoing Cobalt seem all the more embarrassing.
The Cruze takes to the curves ably, with a competent suspension and good body control.
The four-door Cruze is a handsome car, shaped in the fashion of Chevrolet's well-received, mid-size Malibu sedan, with even better proportions.
Its arcing roofline creates the effect of a two-door coupe, and the Cruze looks longer and wider than many of its competitors, with shorter overhangs beyond the front and rear wheels. It will come standard with 16-inch wheels and offer a 17-inch option.
Generic and sedate--actually, borderline boring--with a blunt front end and a profile that doesn?t exactly call attention to its character.
As adapted for the U.S. market, the Cruze is mad for safety, with standard-equipment 10 standard airbags, rollover sensor, stability control, pre-tensioning front seat belts and automatic headlamps.
Chevrolet has made life harder than it needs to be with the Cruze's lusterless sheet metal.
