How it scores for you10 scores
A lounge on wheels - plush seats and a smooth V6 make it a comfort standout, while the CVT and soft handling keep sportiness firmly off the menu.
Reliability40

Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 5 of its 11 recalls were serious. About 6% 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 -2 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

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

Running costs65

About $2,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 65% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility75

32.1 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 75% of other SUVs we track.

Passenger space60

Spacious five-seat cabin and 32.1 cu ft cargo, though the styling costs some rear visibility.

Driving fun38

Soft, quiet, and deliberately relaxed; the V6 is willing but the CVT and tuning discourage haste.

Tech45

Competitive at launch, but a decade-long run left screens and driver aids behind newer rivals.

Comfort70

Famously lounge-like Zero Gravity seats and a supple ride are the model's calling card.

Value retention70

SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.

Capability44

Rated to tow 1,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
