There’s a lot to love about the Chevy Cruze. With the charmingly bold inside-out design to complement its outstanding capability, this crafty compact car holds its own against all-comers. And the Ford Focus is no exception.
With a much lower MSRP, the Cruze gives the Fusion a run for its money — literally. But how does it stack up to its Ford counterpart in other categories?
Read on to find out.
A Test of the Best: 2017 Chevy Cruze vs. 2017 Ford Focus
Which Model is Designed to Dominate?
While the 2017 Ford Focus isn’t hard to look at, it’s not much more than meets the eye, either.
The 2017 Chevy Cruze, however, packs big personality into its compact frame. A sporty grille rounds off the Cruze’s aerodynamic curves. And with a solar-absorbing glass window, the Cruze looks like it was chiseled for performance.
But that’s only the outside.
Offering 47.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, the Cruze Hatchback easily surpasses the 16 cubic feet of the Ford Focus – and it’s not even close.
Which Model is Primed to Perform?
The 2017 Focus generates some impressive horsepower, but with only 32 mpg of highway fuel economy on its non-hybrid trims, it’s all bark and no bite.
On the other hand, the 2017 Cruze can nearly reach that in the city. Boasting a standard 1.4L turbo engine that’s capable of achieving an outstanding 40 mpg of fuel efficiency on the highway, it’s not hard to see why the new-and-improved Cruze is Motor Trend’s second-best compact sedan.
You do the math.
Which Model is a Safe Bet?
The 2017 Ford Fusion comes with seven airbags. That’s pretty good.
But the Cruze was the first car in its class to have ten standard airbags.
The peace of mind doesn’t end there, though. With a full suite of safety technology, such as the rear view camera, Stabilitrack® traction control, and an available Driver Confidence Package, the Cruze provides security that the Focus just can’t match.
