The 1.8L naturally aspirated F18D4 engine was the most widely available Cruze powertrain in North America, Australia, South Korea, and major emerging markets. Many Cruze 1.8L vehicles are now entering the high-mileage stage of ownership, driving strong demand for reliable replacement starters

Sonic 1.8L owners benefit from the same broad aftermarket parts availability as Cruze owners
