Cruze vs Focus: Performance Specs

The 2019 Chevy Cruze can be powered by two different engines including a standard 1.4L Turbo ECOTEC 4-cylinder engine and a 1.6L Turbo-Diesel ECOTEC 4-cylinder engine. The former engine focuses on efficiency, and achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 28 city/38 highway MPG¹.

The latter engine, on the other hand, gives you the best of both worlds. In the Cruze sedan, this engine manufactures 240 lb-ft of torque while still achieving an incredible EPA-estimated 48 highway MPG².

The 2018 Ford Focus also offers several engines in its powertrain lineup. However, this model maxes out at an EPA-estimated 40 highway MPG no matter which engine you go with, which is nearly ten miles less per gallon.

Cruze vs Focus: Interior Comfort

Inside both the 2019 Chevy Cruze and the 2018 Ford Focus, you’ll have five seats, available power-adjustable front seats, and available leather upholstery. You can also opt for automatic climate control systems in both sedans to make getting comfortable easy.

The Cruze goes above and beyond to keep its passengers comfortable by providing plenty of extra wiggle room for all five passengers. Inside this model, you’ll get 42 inches of front legroom and 36.1 inches of rear legroom to offer—compare this to the Focus’s mere 41.9 inches of front legroom and 33.2 inches of rear legroom.

Cruze vs Focus: Advanced Technology

On top of all the space you’ll have in the 2019 Chevy Cruze, you’ll also have plenty of top-notch technology to take advantage of. This model is standardly equipped with a Chevrolet Infotainment System, which bundles a 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen display and a variety of connectivity options.

With this system, you’ll get standard wireless Bluetooth® and smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. Additionally, the Cruze sedan also comes standardly equipped with a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot.

You’ll have access to a few of these features in the 2018 Ford Focus. However, this model’s infotainment system is only offered as an available feature, meaning you’ll have to upgrade in order to enjoy smartphone app integration. Unfortunately, you won’t find a Wi-Fi Hotspot in any of the Focus’s trim levels.
