Used Chevrolet Cruze 2014 Automatic

The Chevrolet Cruze four-door sedan previewed a new design direction in 2011. The exterior is straightforward, but it's behind the wheel that you'll sense the true sea change in quality, engineering, and design that the Cruze embodied. Chevy saved its best efforts for inside the car--where buyers actually spend their time. Four years later, the interior is still better than the average among compact cars, with high-quality materials giving a solid, upscale impression. The two-tone treatment is especially good, with tan or grey seats and door panels accented by the black of the dashboard, and just the right hint of matte silver trim.

The rest of the lineup--the LT and LTZ trim levels--comes with a turbocharged 1.4-liter four that is smoother, more refined, and stronger at lower engine speeds. It has a good linear accelerator feel, and pairs well with the six-speed automatic transmission that's offered for both engines. There's a six-speed manual gearbox offered on most models as well, but the vast majority of buyers will go for the automatic. All Cruze models contain OnStar with Automatic Crash Response, which automatically notifies OnStar and first responders. An Enhanced Safety Package was new last year; it adds Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and rear park assist—all advanced accident-avoidance features limited to luxury-brand vehicles just a few years ago.
