How it scores for you10 scores
A refined, roomy 285-mile EV that genuinely tows - arriving with old-generation efficiency just as fresher rivals reset the value bar.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 2 of its 5 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 90% of cars we track.
28.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 60% of other SUVs we track.
Generous five-seat cabin with a 28.5 cu ft hold.
More range and polish, same heavy, serene character; the SQ8 adds pace, not playfulness.
Refined dual-screen cockpit and strong assists, now midpack against newer EV rivals.
Exceptional isolation and ride quality remain the calling card.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 4,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
