A four-cylinder engine powers the base 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is available, and reviewers say it is noticeably more powerful than the base engine and delivers decent acceleration. They add that the available four-cylinder diesel engine accelerates quickly. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on gas-powered models; a six-speed automatic is optional. The automatic transmission downshifts slowly at times, according to reviewers.
With an automatic transmission and base engine, the 2015 Cruze gets slightly low fuel economy for the class, at an EPA-estimated 25/36 mpg city/highway. However, the Cruze Diesel gets 27/46 mpg, which is great for the class. Test drivers report that the Cruze rides comfortably and has composed handling, though a few mention that rivals like the Mazda3 feel more agile.
Interior Summary
The 2015 Chevy Cruze's cabin is lined with hard plastics that some reviewers find cheap, while others say the plastics are nicely textured. According to critics, the front seats are comfortable. A few say that competitors offer roomier back seats, especially for taller riders, while others find the back seats sufficiently spacious. Critics say the trunk is big for the class.
Standard features include a USB port, Bluetooth and OnStar with 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot. Optional features include a rearview camera, a nine-speaker Pioneer audio system, navigation, blind spot monitoring and Chevy's voice-controlled MyLink infotainment system with a 7-inch touch screen. According to reviewers, MyLink's menus are user-friendly and the voice commands are useful, but the system is slow to respond to some inputs.
