How it scores for you10 scores
Corolla-grade dependability in a well-equipped, practical hatch; competent everywhere, exciting nowhere.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; its only recall was not rated 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 +8 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,100 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 70% of cars we track.
20.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 53% of other hatchbacks we track.
Usable rear seat and hatch versatility, though the sloped roof trims space versus boxier rivals.
Composed but inert; 137 hp and a CVT keep it firmly in transport-appliance territory.
Standard 7-inch audio and dual-zone climate impress at the price; no smartphone projection or driver aids.
Independent rear suspension gives a notably supple ride for an economy hatch.
Typical resale value for a hatchback.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
