Overall Rating
The Chevrolet Cruze is an all-new release for Chevy in its Sedan line-up. It is equipped with two engine options which are decent on power output. But the Cruze provides the best in class cargo capacity in the segment.
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is an all-new model launched by Chevrolet in the small sedan segment. It is available in two engine options. One is naturally aspirated while the other one is turbocharged which provides a much better fuel economy as compared to the base engine. The interior is well designed and provides great comfort.
We would recommend opting for the LT trim which gets a slightly better 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. Along with slightly better power output, the engine also provides better fuel economy and great overall performance. Along with that, the LT trim also adds multiple interior features that improve the experience inside the cabin. It gets leather upholstery, cruise control, six-way power driver seat and remote vehicle start as a few of the improved internal features. Available at a price of $19,000 the LT trim provides the best value for the money spent.

All the vehicles in comparison can carry up to five passengers inside their cabin. While all the while everyone provides great room in the front rows the Honda Civic feels a bit cramped at the rear. Along with that, the Toyota Corolla provides a maximum cargo capacity of 12.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats while the Honda Civic lacks a lot in this segment with a maximum cargo capacity of 6 cubic feet. Thus the Chevrolet Cruze proves to be more practical than its competitors.
There are not a lot of things going on in the infotainment system available in the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. It is equipped with standard features like Bluetooth connectivity, iPod interface, USB ports, CD / MP3 player, and satellite radio.

Here is a list of all the infotainment system features that are available with the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze.
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze supports the muscular design and looks attractive. It gets front split grills with the Chevrolet moniker sitting in between those two. There are strong and sleek lines that run from the front to the rear of the vehicle and give a feel of athleticism to the vehicle. The sloping roof folds down towards the rear, but it does cut some of the headspace available for the rear passengers.
The Chevrolet Cruze is the heaviest in comparison with the curb weight of 3143 pounds. It is also the longest and has the maximum width which measures 181 inches and 71 inches, respectively. It also sits slightly higher on the ground with a ground clearance of 7 inches.
