The overview
A redesigned Cruze was introduced for 2016. The car was roomier, especially in the rear seat and offered a more luxurious interior. The 2016 car's standard engine is an updated 1.4-liter, four-cylinder turbo mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. A start-stop feature reduces fuel use during idling. Infotainment features included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which mirror your cell-phone screen on the dashboard. It put Apple or Google maps at your fingertips while driving and made it easy to use natural voice commands via Siri or Google Now from your phone. A 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine and hatchback version were new for 2017. 2019 was the last year for the Cruze.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
