FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The EX-L AWD at $46,795 is the sweet spot for most buyers — it adds AWD and a meaningful feature step up from the Sport AWD for a modest premium, while stopping well short of the $50K-plus upper trims. Families who rarely leave pavement and want to save money can look at the EX-L FWD at $44,695, which returns 22 mpg combined versus 21 mpg combined for the AWD version.

Sport FWD ($42,395) and Sport AWD ($44,495) are the entry points, with the AWD version trading a small efficiency edge (22 mpg combined vs. 21 mpg combined) for all-wheel traction. The EX-L trims — available in FWD ($44,695) or AWD ($46,795) — add a higher content level at a modest price jump over their Sport counterparts, with the same powertrain and seating capacity throughout.

Most trims seat 8, but the TrailSport seats 7 — its off-road-oriented second row likely uses captain's chairs rather than a bench. If a full eight-passenger count matters to your family, every other trim in the lineup delivers it.

FWD models (Sport FWD and EX-L FWD) return 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway (22 mpg combined). AWD versions of the Sport, EX-L, Touring, Touring S, Elite, and Black Edition trim out at 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway (21 mpg combined). The TrailSport, also AWD, is slightly lower at 18 mpg city and 23 mpg highway (20 mpg combined), likely due to its off-road-tuned hardware.

The TrailSport ($50,595) is the only trim tuned for off-road use, and it's the only one that seats 7 rather than 8. It also returns slightly lower fuel economy than other AWD trims — 20 mpg combined versus 21 mpg combined — which is a reasonable trade-off if you actually use the capability; if you don't, the Touring at $51,295 gives you AWD, 8 seats, and better efficiency.

All four are AWD, share the same 285 hp V-6 and 10-speed automatic, and return 21 mpg combined, so the differences come down to content and price — $51,295, $52,495, $53,695, and $55,195 respectively. The Elite and Black Edition have a marginally smaller maximum cargo volume (86.5 cu ft vs. 87 cu ft), likely due to a different rear seat configuration. Choose based on which feature packages matter to you, since the driving experience is identical across all four.
