Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Well-tuned chassis,
the best of our least favorite type of transmission (CVT),
the hybrid's fuel-economy savings pays for its larger initial cost.

Cons
Poky base engine,
higher starting price than many of its toughest competitors,
no excitement.

Roomy interior with cavernous cargo capacity
Tech features are easy to use
Smooth and comfortable ride

Cons
Not much cabin storage space for small items
Hybrid powertrain can be noisy and slow on hills
