How it scores for you10 scores
The only compact luxury EV with a third row, but its kid-only way-back, modest 251-mile range, and steep EV depreciation narrow the case.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 4 of its 6 recalls were serious. About 3% 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 95% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Boxy body gives good two-row space; the optional third row is strictly for children.
Smooth and adequately brisk but softly sprung and uninvolving.
Dual-screen MBUX carries over intact; charging speed and route planning are mid-pack.
Quiet, nicely trimmed GLB-based cabin with a compliant ride.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
