How it scores for you10 scores
Boxy, charming and hugely capable with 7,700-lb towing and three real rows - but 16 mpg and infamous repair bills make it a specialist's choice.
Reliability41

Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 5 recalls was serious. 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 -10 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

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

Running costs1

About $5,050 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — among the most expensive cars we track to run.

Cargo & utility0

9.9 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the SUVs we track.

Passenger space72

Boxy body gives three rows of upright, adult-viable seating with excellent headroom.

Driving fun40

Commanding view and superb off-road control, but slow steering, big mass and body roll make pavement driving a chore.

Tech35

2009-era infotainment and switchgear were already dated by 2015.

Comfort68

Air-sprung ride and stadium seating are genuinely pleasant; wind noise and truckish manners betray its age.

Value retention40

Luxury brands like Land Rover tend to lose value faster than average.

Capability100

Rated to tow 7,716 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
