How it scores for you10 scores
A 42-mpg premium hatch with essentially bulletproof hybrid mechanicals; accept sleepy pace and a snug, dated cabin and it will run forever cheaply.
Not enough recall data to judge yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road. Adjusted +10 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $1,550 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 84% of cars we track.
14.3 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the hatchbacks we track.
Compact hatch dimensions; rear seat and 14.3 cu ft hold are city-car tight.
134 hp and an eCVT mean glacial, droning acceleration; tidy handling can't rescue it.
Remote Touch controller and a small screen felt dated even in 2015.
Firm ride and modest rear seat; front cabin is nicely finished for the money.
Luxury brands like Lexus tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
