How it scores for you10 scores
A compact Lexus that nails durability and efficiency while its infuriating touchpad and modest cargo keep it from class leadership.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 5 recalls were serious. 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 $2,050 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 73% of cars we track.
17.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 21% of other SUVs we track.
Rear seat adequate, cargo hold shallow versus mainstream compact SUVs.
Competent, secure and utterly unmemorable; the 2.0T is adequate at best.
The Remote Touch touchpad was widely panned; screens small by late-generation standards.
Well-damped ride, quiet cabin and excellent seats for the class.
Luxury brands like Lexus tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 2,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
