How it scores for you10 scores
Sports-sedan reflexes in a 7,700-lb-towing luxury SUV; age has exposed transfer-case and interior gripes, and the running costs never were cheap.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 4 recalls were serious. About 2% 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 -5 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 10% of cars we track.
23.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 46% of other SUVs we track.
Comfortable for four adults; rear room and cargo trail roomier, boxier rivals.
The best-driving SUV of its era — accurate steering and real body control from diesel to 570-hp Turbo S.
Button-heavy 2010s cabin with a small PCM screen; comprehensive options, dated interfaces.
Excellent seats and available air suspension deliver true luxury-car ride quality.
Luxury brands like Porsche tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 7,716 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
