Overview of heated seats on the 2015 Cruze
For the 2015 Cruze, heated front seats were not standard on the base model. They were typically available only when the car was equipped with the Winter Package on higher trims, specifically LT and LTZ. The LS trim generally did not offer heated seats.
Trim-by-trim availability
The following summarizes how the feature was typically configured across trims and packages in 2015.
- Heated front seats were available on LT and LTZ models when ordered with the Winter Package; the LS trim did not offer heated seats.
In practice, if you are looking for heated seats, target LT or LTZ versions with the Winter Package and verify the car's window sticker or build sheet to confirm the option.
How to verify on a used 2015 Cruze
To determine whether a particular 2015 Cruze has heated seats, perform these checks:
- Look for a heated-seat control on the center stack or seat with an icon depicting a seat and wavy heat lines (often labeled "heated seats").
- Check the vehicle's window sticker (Monroney) or the build sheet for the Winter Package, which commonly included heated front seats.
- Inspect the seats: leather seats do not guarantee heating, and some cloth interiors could still be heated if the Winter Package was selected.
- Ask the seller for service records or the original window sticker to confirm the feature.
If the car lacks these indicators, and you want heated seats, be prepared to negotiate or consider another vehicle that includes the Winter Package.
Notes on availability by market and model year
GM configurations can vary by market and production year. The information above reflects US-spec 2015 Cruze configurations; markets outside the US or regional trims may have different packaging or naming for the heated-seat option.
Summary
In summary, the 2015 Chevy Cruze could have heated front seats, but only on LT and LTZ trims equipped with the Winter Package. The base LS did not offer the feature. When evaluating a used Cruze, verify the presence of the Winter Package or heated-seat controls on the car and review the window sticker for confirmation.
