small car / 4-door sedan
Moderate overlap front: original test
Rating applies to 2016-19 models
Tested vehicle: 2016 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 4-door
The Chevrolet Cruze was redesigned for the 2016 model year. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors.
The earlier design remained in production for 2016 model year only, available new only to fleet buyers, and was called the Chevrolet Cruze Limited. The ratings on this page do not apply to the Cruze Limited.
