2017 Chevrolet Cruze Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Cruze LT is powered by a 1.4L Turbocharged Inline-4 engine producing 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth 6-Speed Automatic transmission. That torque figure is the real story here — it comes on early in the RPM range, which makes urban driving in Detroit feel effortless. Whether you're navigating stop-and-go traffic on I-75 or cruising out on the Lodge Freeway, the Cruze's turbocharged four-cylinder punches well above its displacement. Fuel economy is another major strength, with real-world highway numbers that make this sedan genuinely practical for daily commuting across Wayne County and beyond.

Chevrolet Cruze LT Features and Interior

The LT trim represents the most popular sweet spot in the Cruze lineup, and for good reason. It steps up from the base LS with meaningful upgrades that make everyday driving more enjoyable.

Comfort and Convenience

The Cruze LT comes equipped with features like a 7-inch Chevrolet MyLink touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and power accessories throughout. The rear view camera makes parking in tight Detroit neighborhoods and busy lots much easier. The interior is well-laid-out with supportive seating and enough rear legroom to comfortably accommodate adult passengers — something the Cruze does better than many of its compact rivals.

Technology and Safety

This generation of Cruze also includes a suite of passive and active safety features, including a strong structural safety cage, multiple airbags, and stability and traction control systems. The MyLink system keeps the driver connected without being distracting, which matters in a city environment where attention on the road is critical.

Chevrolet Cruze Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Chevrolet Cruze benefits from a complete redesign that Chevy introduced for the second-generation model — a significant improvement over its predecessor in nearly every measurable way. The 1.4L turbo engine in this generation has earned a solid reputation for reliability among owners who stay on top of oil changes and basic maintenance. Common things to stay ahead of include the water pump, which can wear over time, and PCV system maintenance, which is typical for turbocharged engines of this type. Overall, Cruze owners in this generation report high satisfaction with fuel efficiency, ride comfort, and long-term dependability. With over 130,000 miles, the key is a clean maintenance history — ask our team at Number 1 Car Company about the vehicle's history report so you can buy with confidence.
