FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The S FWD at $26,390 adds features over the base LX FWD while keeping the same 30 mpg combined efficiency and staying under $27,000 — making it a reasonable sweet spot if you don't need AWD. Buyers who want all-weather traction should look at the LX AWD at $26,690, which gets you AWD for only $300 more than the S FWD.

Both are AWD-only, but the X-Line SX swaps in a turbocharged 1.6-liter I-4 making 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic — versus the 147 hp, 132 lb-ft 2.0-liter with an IVT in the X-Line S. That extra power costs you at the pump: the X-Line SX returns 26 mpg combined versus 28 mpg combined for the X-Line S, and it carries a $3,800 price premium.

AWD is available on the LX AWD, S AWD, EX AWD, X-Line S, and X-Line SX — the three FWD trims (LX FWD, S FWD, EX FWD) are front-wheel drive only. Adding AWD over the equivalent FWD trim costs around $1,700 and drops fuel economy from 30 mpg combined to 28 mpg combined on the 2.0-liter models.

Most trims use a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter I-4 producing 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque through an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The X-Line SX is the exception — its 1.6-liter turbocharged I-4 delivers 190 hp and 195 lb-ft through an 8-speed automatic, which is meaningfully stronger for highway merging or carrying a full load of passengers.

FWD models with the 2.0-liter engine return 28 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. AWD versions of the same engine drop to 26 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined, while the turbocharged X-Line SX comes in at 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined.

Every trim in the lineup offers 64.2 cu ft of cargo volume — that figure is consistent across all eight configurations regardless of drivetrain or trim level.
