Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Spacious cabin,
forgiving ride,
generous list of standard and optional tech features.

Cons
Four-cylinder could use a bit more power,
boring driving dynamics,
exterior styling isn't for everyone.

By:

Pros
Stylish, quiet and high-tech interior
Roomy seating and a huge cargo area
Added off-road capability with X-Pro trim

Standard engine supplies leisurely acceleration
Subpar fuel economy from this engine too

By:

Pros
Nicely equipped from the base model up,
cabin is spacious for its class,
refined driving demeanor.

Cons
Vague steering,
all-digital dashboard may not appeal to everyone,
noticeable turbo lag with entry-level turbo four.
