Pros Muscular V8 engine Easy-to-use touch screen Sizable cargo area
Cons Cramped third row Dated interior Poor gas mileage
Fully redesigned for 2022.
Pros Comfortable cabin and ample cargo space Balances sporty handling with a relaxed ride Generous array of features and driver aids for the money Quick acceleration from the Type S model
Cons Standard engine can be noisy and lacks the power of turbocharged rivals Infotainment touchpad requires a steep learning curve
