A fun-to-drive compact sedan

The interior design is pleasantly simple and contemporary, with everything in easy reach on the center console. There’s also a pair of gas and diesel engine options, which zip competently around town.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze
1. Lots of storage space
It’s not hard to find a place to store things in the interior of a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. That’s because sizable door pockets, cubbies, and storage areas efficiently use the cabin space. Plus, the 60/40 split folding seats let you flex the trunk size, carrying oversized items without sacrificing the whole back seat. Lastly, the 15 cu-ft of trunk space is ample for the gear you need to bring along.
2. Three engaging engines
You’re spoiled for choice in the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze, which offers a selection of three engines and two different transmissions. For example, the L and LS trims have a 1.8L four-cylinder engine that makes 183 hp, while LT, LTZ, and Eco trims have a 138-hp turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder engine. Finally, the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder diesel engine and a unique six-speed automatic transmission.
3. Go further between fill-ups
While any of the three engine options in a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze will stretch out a tank of gas, the two turbocharged engines stand out. For example, the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel gets an EPA-estimated 44 mpg highway and 27 mpg city, or 32 mpg combined.
4. An engaging driving experience
By combining a peppy turbocharged engine and six-speed manual transmission, the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze is an engaging sedan to drive. Plus, the suspension keeps the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze stable under cornering, which delivers confident handling. Additionally, the extra power and responsiveness of its unique six-speed automatic transmission make the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel even more fun to drive.
5. Stay connected with available tech
Enjoy essential tech features in every 2015 Chevrolet Cruze, like Bluetooth® connectivity and an available OnStar® 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
