How it scores for you10 scores
Rock-bottom running costs and standard AWD make it painless to own, but class-typical EV depreciation and middling range keep it a rational lease, not a keeper.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 2 of its 5 recalls were serious. About 10% 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 97% of cars we track.
23.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 47% of other SUVs we track.
Roomy five-seat compact-crossover cabin with a flat floor; rear headroom slightly pinched by the sloping roof.
Smooth, quiet EV torque but modest 215-hp output and numb steering; tuned for calm, not fun.
Modern cabin screens and a full driver-assist suite; charging speed and cold-weather performance trail EV class leaders.
Quiet EV refinement and a compliant ride; interior materials are functional rather than plush.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
