Best and Worst Chevy Cruze Years

Among the best years for the Chevy Cruze is the 2018 model. It earned praise for its smooth ride, well-designed interior, ample cargo room and robust safety features. The 2018 Cruze marked a high point in the model’s evolution, with J.D. Power giving it an 84 out of 100 for its compelling blend of performance and practicality.

The latest iteration of the Chevy Cruze from 2019 is also an excellent demonstration of all the brand has learned and improved over the years. J.D. Power even gave this model the top spot on its 2019 Compact Car Rankings due to its superior fuel efficiency, agile handling, spacious interior and intuitive infotainment system.

While you can’t go wrong with most Chevy Cruze iterations, there are a few exceptions. Some consumers have reported issues with its debut 2011 and 2012 Chevy Cruze, particularly related to the turbocharged engine, a stagnant transmission and lower gas mileage.

You won’t find either of these years in our inventory, as our team only sells certified pre-owned vehicles that have been thoroughly inspected and maintained. We ensure every car we sell will last you for many miles and years to come.
