How it scores for you10 scores
A cheap-to-run, fast-charging EV with a roomy, tech-forward cabin, undercut by recurring electrical-system complaints and steep depreciation.
Reliability31

Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 5 of its 15 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 -5 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

No overall NHTSA crash rating yet, 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 & utility58

27.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 58% of other SUVs we track.

Passenger space78

Long wheelbase yields generous legroom for five; flat floor aids interior space. Cargo at 27.2 cu ft is decent, expandable to 59.3.

Driving fun62

225 hp base is modest but instant EV torque, RWD/AWD options and sharp handling make it engaging. Higher-spec versions exist, but this figure is peppy not thrilling.

Tech80

800V architecture enables ultra-fast charging, dual displays, V2L power output and advanced driver aids. Among the more forward-tech EVs in its class.

Comfort75

Flat floor, quiet EV ride and roomy, lounge-like cabin with adjustable seats earn praise. Ride is smooth and refined for the segment.

Value retention35

EVs have typically lost value the fastest.

Capability30

No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
