The CHEVROLET CRUZE (2009-15) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 141 EU5 LTZ is a practical five-door family hatchback, offering an alternative to saloons and smaller city cars. In the UK used market, it is an affordable mainstream choice, with a roomy cabin and useful boot for errands, school runs and longer journeys. Mycarcheck.com recorded 94 checks covering 49 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this model. The checked cars averaged 76,000 miles and about 5,000 miles a year, with nearly three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,900, though individual values depend on condition, history, mileage and location too. The 1.8-litre petrol engine gives straightforward performance, while LTZ trim often feels more upmarket than basic versions. It suits families, commuters and buyers wanting a generously equipped, sensibly priced used hatchback. Against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra rivals, the Cruze is a value choice, though economy may trail smaller-engined alternatives.
