How it scores for you10 scores
Italian styling in a subcompact crossover that trails the class in space, polish, and powertrain reliability despite standard AWD.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 6 recalls were serious. About 2% 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 $2,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 56% of cars we track.
12.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 3% of other SUVs we track.
Snug rear seat and one of the smallest cargo holds in the class
Standard AWD and a short wheelbase give some agility; the 9-speed dulls responses
Uconnect 6.5/7.0 with CarPlay from 2018; average for the class
Stylish but tight, with a busy ride and noticeable noise
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
