The 2015 Chevy Cruze looks pretty upscale compared to the rivals and gets a two-tone scheme, but it does employ a lot of hard plastics, which stands out in the higher and more expensive trims. The addition of a bit more cushion here and there, including the armrests, would also improve the experience considerably.
There is ample legroom at the front, but the rear seat is a bit tight and does not offer sufficient under-thigh support for longer passengers. Other than that, the seats are pretty comfortable, supportive, and offer a good range of adjustability.Â
