First-Generation Chevy Cruze (2008-2016)
The first-generation Chevy Cruze was introduced in 2008 as a replacement for the Chevrolet Cobalt. It was available as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. The Cruze was designed to be a more fuel-efficient and modern alternative to the Cobalt, with a focus on improved safety, technology, and overall refinement.

- Engine options included a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder and a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.
- Transmission choices were a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.
