How it scores for you10 scores
No family hauler has more charm or a roomier three-row cabin, but a 234-mile range and near-$70k top pricing demand real commitment.
Reliability55

Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 2 recalls were 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 -3 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs90

About $900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 90% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility0

18.6 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the minivans we track.

Passenger space80

Three genuinely adult-sized rows and sliding doors; among the roomiest vehicles sold.

Driving fun60

Instant EV torque and tidy rear-motor manners for a van; charm outweighs outright agility.

Tech65

Modern EV platform, big touchscreen, full ADAS; VW's software polish still trails segment leaders.

Comfort70

Smooth, quiet EV ride; lounge-like seating and glass area rare in any segment.

Value retention35

EVs have typically lost value the fastest.

Capability30

No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
