The 210-hp 1.6L turbo-hybrid system provides punchy low-speed electric boost, coupled with automatic rear-axle disconnect for smooth, fuel-efficient highway cruising.
Fuel Economy & Utility
Delivers an EPA-estimated 37 MPG combined (up to 39 MPG city) with over 500 miles of total range, alongside an unsurpassed-in-class 3,500 lbs towing capability.
Pros
Standard 1.6L Turbo Hybrid powertrain achieves an impressive 37 MPG combined rating
Standard 4x4 drivetrain across all trims with rear-axle disconnect for maximum efficiency
Class-leading 500+ miles total driving range per tank of gas
Substantially larger cargo volume (up to 68.3 cu ft) compared to previous generations
Standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto
Cons
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is tuned for fuel savings rather than aggressive sport shifting
0-60 mph acceleration (~8.1 sec) is adequate rather than quick
No plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant offered
