For the used-car shopper, it presents a generally positive reliability picture, underscored by an excellent public reliability score.

This model utilizes a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, delivering respectable fuel economy for its class. While no consumer complaints were logged with NHTSA, the limited data and single recall suggest potential for unknown issues as the vehicle ages.
