The interiors of the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze sedan feel clean, decent, and quite convenient. The seats are comfortable and nicely cushioned. There is enough cabin space to accommodate five occupants. The sloping roof allows tall passengers to stoops while moving to the rear seat. However, the roofline with chunky side pillars reduces visibility.
There are three tether anchors in the rear seat to attach child safety seats. Lower anchors are present on the outboard seats, and connectors are quite difficult to use on the passenger side as the anchor is very near to the adjoining seat belt.

Others in the competition deliver similar cargo space as the Cruze, with the Ford accommodating least cargo of all. The Civic does the most, but not by much to make a significant difference. Overall, none of these cars are good for a shopping spree.
