How it scores for you10 scores
Possibly the prettiest SUV of its era with real substance underneath, but glitch-prone tech and bottom-tier dependability make it a heart-over-head buy.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 5 of its 13 recalls were serious. About 11% 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,300 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 18% of cars we track.
23.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 47% of other SUVs we track.
Adequate rear room; the low roofline and high sills trim practicality versus boxier rivals.
Composed and quick in V6/V8 forms, but tuned for glide, not engagement.
Striking dual-touchscreen cabin that looked ahead of its time and often lagged in use; later Pivi Pro improved it.
Sleek cabin, supple air-sprung ride on higher trims; road noise well suppressed.
Luxury brands like Land Rover tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 5,512 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
