Worth knowing
- The ride is firmer and the cabin louder than many rivals, and the knob-driven infotainment takes some getting used to.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the 2.5 S Preferred: it adds heated seats, a power driver seat and leatherette over the Select. Turbo trims add real power, and a hybrid version arrived for 2025.
On the test drive
On a hybrid, ask for a battery health check. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
