How it scores for you10 scores
Sharper style and a far richer cabin modernize the comfort-first formula, but the variable-compression turbo's track record elsewhere counsels caution.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 2 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -5 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 44% of cars we track.
32.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 75% of other SUVs we track.
Roomy five-seat cabin with around 33 cu ft behind the rear seats.
The 9-speed is a welcome CVT replacement, but 241 turbo hp and comfort tuning keep it mellow.
Dual 12.3-inch displays and a modern assist suite are a big step over the old car.
Continues the plush-riding, quiet-cabin formula with notably upgraded materials.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 1,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
