View Inventory Learn More Contact Us
There are a number of ways that the 2018 Honda Civic comes out ahead of the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze. Performance and fuel economy are prime examples, but you also have a variety of trim levels and body types, not to mention better safety features, with the Civic. Here Underriner Honda of Walla Walla will compare the 2018 Honda Civic vs. Chevy Cruze, so you can judge for yourself who the winner is!
Performance
Big-car power is the norm for the 2018 Civic despite its small stature. Expect its 2.0L inline-4 engine to generate 158 hp. Even though the 2018 Cruze has a turbocharged inline-4, it’s a smaller size at 1.4L and musters just 153 hp. You may not think that’s a tremendous difference, but it’s certainly one you’ll notice when you’re behind the wheel of the Civic. Plus, this remains the Cruze’s engine across the lineup, whereas the Civic also offers an intercooled turbocharged 1.5L engine, which churns out 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque.
Body Type
Whether you choose the new Honda Civic or the new Chevy Cruze, you’ll be able to pick between a sedan if you want a traditional small car or a hatchback if you crave more space. However, the Civic also provides one body style that the Cruze does not: the coupe. This two-door option provides a different style and accommodates a unique set of driving needs. Ultimately, the Civic offers more variety.
Safety
Perhaps the biggest perk of the 2018 Honda Civic is the available Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. With this package, you can enjoy each of the following:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System
- Road Departure Mitigation System
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- And much more!
The Chevy Cruze offers its own technology to help you stay in your lane, but there’s no intelligent cruise control system on offer, nor does the Cruze have brakes that act on their own in case of emergency. So which car would you feel safer in?
