The Chevrolet Cruze always was a potent machine and now with the new engine, has only become better. So which are the cars out there that will be in its line of fire?

Skoda Laura

The Laura has always been the Cruze’s main rival. It has also been around in the market for longer but its current avatar is pretty much its best. Available in the brilliant 1.8 TSI and the torquey 2.0 litre diesel the Laura boasts one of the best engines in the market. The diesel which is more of the Cruze’s rival even gets a quick shifting DSG gearbox which makes up for its lack of horsepower compared to the Cruze with some lightening quick shifts while accelerating. It’s pretty spacious too and boasts one of the most cavernous boots in its class. Good looks, good performance and plenty of space, the Laura then is even now the Cruze’s biggest rival. The only chink in the Skoda’s armour is the after sales service which can get patchy.
