The Chevrolet Cruze (2009-15) 5-door hatchback 2.0 VCDi DPF 163 EU5 LTZ Executive Auto6 is a compact family hatchback, roomier than a city car but easier to manage than an SUV. In Britain’s used-car market, it is a less common alternative to the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra for family buyers. The 2.0-litre diesel and six-speed automatic suit regular commuting and longer journeys, while five doors make access and loading easy. LTZ Executive trim adds a comfortable, well-equipped feel. Its strong performance and relaxed drive set this Cruze apart, although buyers should check maintenance records and the emissions system before purchase. mycarcheck.com data covers 46 look-ups and 19 distinct VINs, a modest sample. It indicates an average private-sale value of £2,800, average recorded mileage of 97,000 miles and annual use of 6,000 miles, with around four previous keepers. These are indicators, not a valuation or history guarantee for a particular Cruze.
