How it scores for you10 scores
Strong tech, 317 miles of range, and roughly $700-a-year running costs make a compelling entry luxury EV, though first-year status and EV resale counsel patience.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 3 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -2 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 95% of cars we track.
26 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 57% of other SUVs we track.
Compact-luxury footprint with decent rear room and 26 cu ft cargo; competitive, not exceptional.
Standard 300-hp AWD is pleasant; the 519-hp Optiq-V adds real pace, though it remains a heavy crossover.
33-inch display, Google built-in, and standard Super Cruise are a strong tech case for the segment.
Quiet EV refinement and a well-finished cabin, with a ride tuned more taut than plush.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 1,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
