The 2012 Chevy Cruze engine boasts a commendable range of options, designed to cater to a variety of driving needs.

This turbocharged engine, coupled with direct fuel injection, not only enhances fuel economy—achieving up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway—but also offers a more responsive driving experience with its quicker acceleration. Both engines are paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and adaptive driving dynamics.
