What people say
Great features with lots of safety features. Drives remarkably well. I can now see why it is such a popular vehicle.
Pros: Smooth and quiet ride as long as windows are up. Good price for all the features on the vehicle in the lower trims. Lots of room in back and trunk. Cons: Quality of workmanship does not match Honda and Toyota. Interior has too much hard plastic which don’t align smoothly in some areas. Factory paint job also very poor. Engine loud outside when idling.
We were able to get a good price for a vehicle with a smooth and comfortable ride. We compared against the KIA Seltos, Toyota Corolla across and RAV 4
Good vehicle and features for the price. Does not have heated steering wheel, air conditioned seats, and 360 view camera, but also a few thousand cheaper so Im happy.
I enjoy the SUVs features. Yes, I felt ot was a good value. Automatic trunk open/close would have been a nice addition. No other comparison.
