Compact Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a compact sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (8.8 L/100 km) and hybrid (6.3 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 8-year-old one keeps roughly 35% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
