How it scores for you10 scores
Reliable, affordable transportation with available S-AWC all-wheel drive, but a wheezy 152-hp powertrain and mid-pack space make rivals more compelling.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 2 recalls were serious. About 17% 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 $2,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 59% of cars we track.
23.4 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 45% of other SUVs we track.
Decent rear legroom for the class; 23.4 cu ft cargo is usable but mid-pack.
The 152-hp 1.5T and CVT deliver adequate, uninspiring progress; S-AWC grip is the one bright spot.
Touchscreen and driver aids are present but interfaces and features trail mainstream compact rivals.
Reasonable ride and seats, with noticeable engine drone under load.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
