The front wiper blades on most Chevy Cruze models are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 10 inches on the passenger side; if your Cruze has a rear wiper, the rear blade is typically 11 inches. Sizes can vary by model year and market, so verify for your specific vehicle.
Typical front blade sizes for Cruze models
While the Cruze has carried similar front-blade sizing across generations, some markets and trims may differ. The following sizes cover the most common configurations for US/Canada and many other markets from 2011 through 2019.
- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 10 inches
In practice, the vast majority of Cruze front-wiper setups use a 26-inch driver-side blade paired with a 10-inch passenger-side blade. Always confirm with your owner's manual or the replacement part packaging if you’re unsure.
Rear wiper blade size for hatchback Cruzes
For Cruze hatchbacks, the rear wiper blade is typically 11 inches. Some regional variants or trims may differ, so it’s best to measure or verify the exact specification for your car.
- Rear blade (hatchback): 11 inches
If you own a Cruze sedan or a model without a rear wiper, this size doesn’t apply to your car and you should focus on the front blades instead.
How to verify the correct blade size for your Cruze
To ensure you purchase the right replacements, use a quick verification process that relies on your vehicle’s specifics and the blade you’re replacing.
- Check the owner's manual or the official parts catalog for your model year and market to confirm blade lengths.
- Inspect the existing blades or their packaging for the exact length (26", 10", or 11" as applicable).
- Measure the blade length if needed: remove the blade and lay it flat to measure tip-to-tip.
- Consider replacing both front blades at the same time for balanced performance and coverage.
Most Cruze front blades are 26 inches and 10 inches, with an 11-inch rear blade on hatchbacks; always verify for your specific vehicle to avoid mismatches.
Summary
For the Chevrolet Cruze, the standard configuration most often encountered is a 26-inch driver-side front blade and a 10-inch passenger-side front blade, plus an 11-inch rear blade on hatchbacks. Variations by model year, market, and trim can occur, so consult the owner's manual or a parts catalog to confirm the exact sizes for your car before purchasing replacements.
