Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

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

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

All-wheel drive is standard,
actually capable when the blacktop ends,

rivals offer more driving range.
