Ever drive a Cruze? It certainly is the best rental I’ve ever had − I wouldn’t have a problem owning one 24/7 provided it had a manual transmission and I needed to wear a tie. It certainly is more “adult” than the previous Cobalt, and it has given Chevrolet a much-needed quality model in a very tough segment. For 2015, there are only minor changes, but all models have experienced a slight price increase.
According to Edmunds.com, base 2015 Cruze LS will now cost you $225 more than the 2014 model. Starting at $18,570 including an $825 destination charge, the 2015 Cruze LS comes with an 1.8L four and six-speed manual. Another distinct model is the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Eco, which will cost you $20,920 including destination, which is a $160 bump from a year ago. Prefer diesel? The 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel starts at $26,485, which is a $675 price increase last year’s model.
But don’t think the value’s lost with the price increases as the Cruze receives LED daytime running lights on Cruze LT, LTZ, Eco, and Diesel models, and revised exterior styling on all models except the base LS − the resemblance to the Impala and Malibu is now stronger.
Inside you’ll find upgrades that include revised cupholders and a relocated trunk release and door lock switches. Of course, enhanced connectivity features include new text message alerts and Siri Eyes Free for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7 users.

Hells Bells man, with that beak it should have had a decrease in price.
You really can get a reliable Toyota, Honda, Subaru for less coin. Who is GM fooling? More than 200k idiots every year. It used to be you bought a small Chevy because that’s all you can afford, now somehow people find it reasonable to pay $25K for one of these cheaply built econoboxes. I understand GM has pay union workers, lawsuits, and recalls but the substance just isn’t there. I’ve driven a 1.4T with the carpet on the dash (wonder whose idea that was) and the experience was underwhelming.
Someone explain to me – what possess someone who realistically is in the market for say a WRX or GTI …. and then choose this joke of a car? I am all ears.
I’d pay more for a 2.0T set at 300Hp, just saying.
Aaah , such a good selling , quality compact sedan for the middle aged and older conservative crowd . Forget a coupe and crossover with a hotter engine,handling and trim package to bring in the youthful market , after all what does Ford know ? Their best seller status in Europe and North America with the Fiesta and Focus and Escape was just an aberration , a lucky fluke , right ? The Cruze is this year’s Fleet Car of the Year and winning this much contested award is a real testament of GM’s committment to the marketplace .
