2018 Chevrolet Cruze LS Auto — 1.4L Turbo I4 (153 hp / 177 lb-ft)

This Cruze LS is factory-equipped with Chevrolet’s 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The powertrain is tuned for everyday drivability and efficiency while providing adequate acceleration for highway merging and passing.

Standard mechanical and safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (StabiliTrak) with traction control, a full suite of airbags (dual-stage frontal, front-seat side-impact and head-curtain side airbags), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and a rearview camera. Child-seat LATCH anchors are fitted in the rear for easier child seat installation.

Interior features focus on practical comfort and connectivity. Factory standard items include cloth seating, a manually adjustable driver’s seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seatback for added cargo flexibility, manual air conditioning, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, and a tilt/telescoping steering column. The steering wheel includes mounted controls for audio and phone functions to minimize driver distraction.

Infotainment is provided by Chevrolet MyLink with a color touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, a USB port and auxiliary input. The system supports smartphone integration and offers access to hands-free calling and audio, with steering-wheel controls for common functions. A multi-speaker audio system provides basic entertainment and sound quality appropriate for a compact sedan.

Exterior equipment at the factory level is utilitarian and straightforward: halogen headlamps, body-color mirrors and door handles, and a practical trunk with a spacious opening and fold-down rear seats to expand cargo capacity. The Cruze LS emphasizes efficient daily utility, standard safety features and modern connectivity in a compact sedan package.
