Expert Verdict

The right size for most people's actual lives. Step up to the 2.5-liter or the hybrid — the base engine is a chore.

Pros & Cons

What We Love

  • New hybrid variant
  • Standard AWD and high ground clearance
  • Easy to park
  • Strong resale value

Things to Consider

  • Base 2.0-liter is genuinely slow
  • Small cargo hold
  • Noisy at highway speed
