How it scores for you10 scores
Adorable styling and Trailhawk trail cred can't offset coarse powertrains and a complaint history that makes long-term ownership a coin flip.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 14 recalls was serious. About 4% 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 -10 points for its wider reputation.
4-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 4, rollover 3).
About $2,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 59% of cars we track.
18.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 26% of other SUVs we track.
The upright box gives good headroom; width and the 18.5 cu ft hold are tight.
Boxy charm and the Trailhawk's genuine trail talent; engines are coarse and the 9-speed dim-witted.
Uconnect screens were decent for the class; safety tech arrived only gradually.
Choppy short-wheelbase ride and a noisy cabin.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 2,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
