Worth knowing
- 2017: owner complaints spike (123, mostly the transmission).
- 2018: owner complaints spike (66, mostly the engine).
- Early infotainment is slow and handling is ordinary for a luxury brand. Check that the screen and all electronics work properly.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target the Premium Luxury: it adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and more comfort features over the base trim. The 3.6-liter V6 beats the later 2.0-liter turbo.
