Car Profiles - Chevrolet Cruze

CHEVROLET CRUZE

Revamped last year with a new face and set of rims. The Cruze is a decent product from Chevrolet but it is far from perfect: heavy body hampering acceleration, tight rear seat among others. Diesel variant very expensive.

The Good: Comfortable, Euro feel.
The Bad: Cramped third row

Price Range: P858,000-P1,313,000
Our Rating: **
