How it scores for you10 scores
Quirky looks and turbo zip can't offset a cramped rear seat, token cargo hold, and a troubling record of CVT and engine complaints.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; its only recall was not rated serious. About 13% 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 -8 points for its wider reputation.
No overall NHTSA crash rating yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 48% of cars we track.
10.5 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the SUVs we track.
Cramped rear seat and a token 10.5 cu ft cargo hold rank near the bottom of the class.
Punchy 1.6 turbo and chuckable size make it livelier than most crossovers, though the CVT saps it.
Small touchscreen and sparse driver aids; the I-CON drive-mode pod was its one party trick.
Firm, busy ride and a tight, noisy cabin with plasticky finishes.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
