A SLEEK EXTERIOR

Both cars come in sedan or hatchback styles, and each can seat five people reasonably comfortably. However, the Chevy Cruze sedan comes with 14.8 cubic feet of storage and has the more spacious trunk of the two. The Ford Focus sedan only has 13.2 cubic feet. When it comes to which has more space, Chevy Cruze or Ford Focus, the Cruze clearly wins the battle.

The Cruze has a more sculpted expressive body with angles commonly associated with contemporary high-end German sedans, while the Focus has a heavy front grill and boxier appearance, making it seem more dated.

AN EFFICIENT INTERIOR

Inside, things are a little tight, but that’s to be expected with a compact. Standard versions of both cars feature cloth seats and manual controls. The backseat of the Cruze has more headroom and legroom, which is an advantage for longer journeys.

The Focus has a very simple and intuitive layout, which some people will like. If you prefer a more modern stylish cockpit layout, you will find it in the Cruze. Both compacts have a mix of hard plastic, but they look chic and stylish all the while.

PACKED WITH TECHNOLOGY

Typical for Chevrolet, the Cruze comes with an impressive list of technology features even in its standard model. These include the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, rearview camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth.

The standard infotainment system on the Focus has a 4.2-inch display screen, also with Bluetooth and a rearview camera. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay do not come standard and require upgrading, meaning the Chevy Cruze is the better deal from a technology standpoint.
