How it scores for you10 scores
Quickest thing in the compact-crossover aisle, but Alfa-based quality question marks and a snug, pricey cabin make the speed a hard sell.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years; 3 of its 8 recalls were serious. About 9% 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. Adjusted -6 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 65% of cars we track.
27 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 58% of other SUVs we track.
Rear seat trails mainstream compact crossovers; feels a half-size down
268-288 hp makes it one of the quickest mainstream compact crossovers; keen steering, notably stiff ride
10.25-in Uconnect 5 with wireless CarPlay is modern and responsive
Firm ride, snug cabin, and elevated noise for the class
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 2,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
