How it scores for you10 scores
Bargain running costs near $650 a year and available Super Cruise make a value-EV standout, once the battery-recall saga and steep EV depreciation are priced in.
Reliability29

Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 3 of its 4 recalls were serious. About 10% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. 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 -4 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs97

About $650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 97% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility16

16.3 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 16% of other SUVs we track.

Passenger space55

Flat floor and stretched wheelbase give surprising rear legroom for a small EV.

Driving fun50

Instant torque and one-pedal driving are satisfying around town; FWD and eco tires cap the fun.

Tech60

10.2-inch screen, wireless CarPlay, and available Super Cruise - unusual equipment at this price.

Comfort50

Quiet EV running and a compliant ride, but seats and materials are firmly economy-grade.

Value retention35

EVs have typically lost value the fastest.

Capability0

No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
