Expert Reviews

Expert reviews:

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Handling is spry,
nicely-trimmed interior,
compliant ride.

Cons
Less range than rival EVs,
doesn't offer the fastest charging tech,
steer-by-wire system takes getting used to.

By: 
caranddriver.com

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: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Stylish, quiet and high-tech interior
Roomy seating and a huge cargo area
