How it scores for you10 scores
A rear-drive inline-six brings real driver appeal to the two-row family class, though it's essentially a CX-90 with the third row deleted, priced accordingly.
Reliability33

Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 2 of its 4 recalls were 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. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

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

Running costs52

About $2,600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 52% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility98

39.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 98% of other SUVs we track.

Passenger space60

Vast two-row space since it is a CX-90 without the third row.

Driving fun62

Rear-biased platform and a torquey inline-six give it genuine driver appeal for a big two-row.

Tech55

Clean displays but rotary-first control and limited touch input divide opinion; ADAS suite is complete.

Comfort60

Upscale-feeling cabin; ride leans firm and the PHEV's low-speed calibration can be lumpy.

Value retention70

SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.

Capability77

Rated to tow 5,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
