Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model pairs a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and the X-Line trims introduce a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder with 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
