How it scores for you10 scores
Arguably the prettiest way to haul a family - flagship comfort plus wagon utility - though fuel costs run high and resale runs low.
Reliability72

Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 8 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -2 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

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

Running costs33

About $3,000 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 33% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility0

19.8 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the wagons we track.

Passenger space62

Generous rear room and a long, usable load bay.

Driving fun54

Long, elegant and composed; Cross Country ride height adds capability, not agility.

Tech60

Sensus portrait screen and Pilot Assist from launch; aging gracefully rather than quickly.

Comfort72

Flagship-grade quiet, superb seats, optional rear air suspension.

Value retention40

Luxury brands like Volvo tend to lose value faster than average.

Capability63

Rated to tow 3,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
