How it scores for you10 scores
A sleek fastback with limo-grade rear room and a huge hatch, sold at near-luxury money without the badge — or the resale — to match.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 6 recalls were serious. 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 39% of cars we track.
27.2 cu ft of cargo space — among the roomiest of the hatchbacks we track.
Limousine-grade rear legroom and a huge hatch make it unusually practical for a style-first fastback.
Composed, secure, and brisk with 300 hp from 2022; a refined GT, not a sport sedan.
Digital cockpit and a full driver-assist suite; infotainment lag drew gripes.
Supple adaptive-damper ride, quiet cabin, and excellent front seats.
Typical resale value for a hatchback.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
