How it scores for you10 scores
Flawless five-star safety and cosseting seats age well; the documented oil-consumption saga on these engine years is the box to check first.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 6 recalls were serious. About 11% 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 -5 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 4).
About $2,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 59% of cars we track.
30.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 69% of other SUVs we track.
Usable rear bench with available integrated child boosters; mid-pack width.
Secure and steady; heavier and softer than sportier compact-luxury rivals.
City Safety standard early - real credit; the Sensus screen was small and dated by 2017.
Renowned seats and a calm, quiet ride define it.
Luxury brands like Volvo tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 3,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
