Which actress voices Cruz Ramirez in Pixar's Cars 3?

Cristela Alonzo voices Cruz Ramirez in Pixar's Cars 3.

Cruz Ramirez begins the film as Lightning McQueen's trainer at the Rust-eze Racing Center. She is a yellow race car with advanced training knowledge, but she initially lacks confidence in her own racing ability.

Alonzo's performance gives Cruz both comic energy and emotional depth as the character moves from coach to competitor. Cruz's personal connection to racing becomes increasingly important as she and McQueen confront the rise of Jackson Storm.

Cruz Ramirez is sometimes confused with Sally Carrera because both are important female characters associated with Lightning McQueen. Sally is a Porsche and Radiator Springs' attorney, while Cruz is a trainer and racer introduced in Cars 3.
