The car was great, it had the features that I was looking for.Dec 07, 2023

It’s a brand new vehicle, so it’s beautiful. Lots of bells and whistles. Great sight lines. I am expecting the engine to last… A little too much technology overall- and that will probably be pricey when/if it needs to be fixed. Compared to the Toyota Highlander, we felt this third row had more leg room but sacrificed the trunk space. We were ok with that because we can add a carrier on the top. We liked the second row bucket seats, the hybrid, and so much more! We miss having a shifter as it has a wheel to turn to go F, B, N etc. The design is classy. Aug 26, 2023

Great car, gets great mileage . Not a lot of room for storage, especially with third row seats up. Difficult to squeeze into third row. Don’t like that cup holders for the second row are on the door, if you have a cup with open top it will most likely spill when you shut the door. Do love the large size front dash monitor and has many functions.Aug 23, 2023
