How it scores for you10 scores
Finally a three-row that treats the way-back as a real seat, with hybrid thrift and five-star scores — shame about the rocky first-year recall record.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 7 recalls was serious. About 3% 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 -3 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4).
About $1,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 79% of cars we track.
20.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 34% of other SUVs we track.
One of the few midsize three-rows where adults genuinely fit in the way-back, with cargo space behind it.
The 362-hp Hybrid Max is genuinely swift, but light steering and comfort tuning keep it firmly family-first.
12.3-inch screens, wireless CarPlay, and TSS 3.0 standard; a competitive, easy suite.
Quiet, compliant, and airy with comfortable seats in all three rows.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 5,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
