How it scores for you10 scores
An engaging rear-biased inline-six three-row that undercuts luxury rivals, though early-build transmission and PHEV gremlins argue for a later model year.
Recalled about 50% more often than cars of the same model years; 4 of its 11 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. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 52% of cars we track.
15.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 14% of other SUVs we track.
Three rows seating up to eight, though the way-back is snugger than Telluride-class rivals.
Rear-biased chassis and a smooth 340-hp inline-six make it the driver's choice among mainstream three-rows.
Large displays and full ADAS, but rotary-centric infotainment and fussy menus trail rivals.
Premium-feeling cabin for the money; ride is firmer and busier than family-hauler norms.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 5,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
