Exactly what we needed

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★★Nadia M. · San Antonio, TX · 14 months owned
Great daily driver

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★★Rafael T. · Corpus Christi, TX · 7 months owned
Exactly what we needed

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
