Pros Perky optional plug-in hybrid powertrain, futuristic appearance, well-equipped from EX trim up.
Cons Base powertrain is pretty poky, buzzy engine sounds under heavy throttle, not as fuel efficient in our testing as last year's model.
Pros Smooth and quiet ride quality High fuel economy Spacious seating and cargo area for a compact car
Cons Slow acceleration No option for all-wheel drive Can get unsettled when driving over bumps or around turns
Pros Sharp styling, surprisingly nimble chassis, high-tech cabin.
Cons Tight third row passenger space, mediocre fuel economy ratings, fussy infotainment touchpad.
Pros Expressive shape Swell ride and handling Even more space Type S performance and comfort Strong in safety
Cons Hybrid’s gone... ...and gas mileage remains mediocre Third-row access is tight Tetchy touchpad interface
