Go Cruisin’ in a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze

Are you looking for a road-trip-ready car that can handle your daily commute? Meet the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze. You can choose either the sedan or the hatchback body style to fit your needs.

Power and Performance

The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze gives owners a choice between a traditional gas engine and a diesel option. The gas engine is a 1.4-liter Turbo ECOTEC four-cylinder with continuously variable valve timing. It creates 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. This engine is standard in the L, LS, LT, and Premier trim levels and runs off a 13.7-gallon gas tank. The traditional engine gives drivers 28 mpg in the city and a comfortable 38 mpg on the highway.

The diesel engine is only available for the Diesel trim level. It’s a 1.6-liter ECOTEC four-cylinder engine that creates 137 horsepower and a capable 234 lb-ft of torque. The 13.5-gallon gas tank will go the distance with this trim’s 31 mpg in the city and an eye-popping 48 mpg at highway speeds.

Interior Comforts

Once you step inside the car, comfort and technology surround you. Starting with the Diesel trim level, enjoy standard heated seats up front. This is an available upgrade option for the LT trim. A heated steering wheel is also standard in the premier trim. Cloth seats are standard in all the trims. However, you have the option of changing them to a leatherette material with the Diesel and Premier trim levels.

When it comes to technology, the Cruze doesn’t disappoint. Stay in the comfort of your home and start your car with the remote start. If you plan to use this feature, set the temperature in the car before you get out the night before. This way, you’ll be comfortable as soon as you step inside. The remote start is standard equipment for the LT, Diesel, and Premier trims, and you have the option of adding it to the LS.

Stay connected while you’re on the road with the car’s 4G LTE Wi-Fi. Using this system enables you to connect tablets and laptops to the internet along with your smartphone. The Cruze is also compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enabling you to control the entertainment through your phone. You can also connect your phone with Bluetooth and stream your favorite playlist on the road.

Safety

Chevy understands the importance of safety for all drivers. The Cruze has a suite of teen driver technology in all trim levels to encourage good driving habits from the beginning. This suite enables parents to set a speed limiter when their teen is behind the wheel. The car can also set an audio limit so teens can enjoy their music but stay aware of their surroundings. The teen driver system also creates custom speed alerts to show your driver when he or she is over the speed limit.
