The Chevrolet Cruze can accommodate 5 occupants in the cabin. The interior has been designed well and looks good. The base trim has a 6-way manually adjusting the driver’s seat and a 2-way manually adjustable front passenger seat. As you go higher up, you get a power-adjustable driver seat, however, the front passenger is still manually adjustable.
The upholstery in the Cruze is cloth on the base L trim, however, with the interior design being good, you actually don’t mind it. There is the option of leather upholstery, and it does come standard on the Premier trim. There is also a two-tone interior, which is designed in a way that is quite attractive. There is automatic air-conditioning on all trims.
