Expected to receive a “Good” rating in front, side and roof crash tests.
Choice of two fantastic engines.
Better than average towing capacity.
Impressive fuel-economy with both engines.
Sporty yet sophisticated exterior styling.
Luxurious interior that is comfortable for all passengers.
Countless thoughtful safety features.
Plenty of add-ons available for personalization like rear seat entertainment and an upgraded sound system.
Unique suspension offers a smooth ride.
Handling is responsive.
Small turning circle makes it easy to park and maneuver.
Cargo space does not compare to other crossovers with the rear seat folded down.
V6 engine does not offer that much more power than the four-cylinder, so it is hardly worth paying the price difference.
Although the interior is roomy, it is not as spacious as the Volvo XC60.
Both engines are quite peppy but they fall short of some competitors like the BMW X3.
MMI Navigation System can take a little getting used to and can be a little overwhelming at first.
Electric power steering tends to feel a little artificial, especially at slower speeds.
