Worth knowing

- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for real running costs: performance tires often cost $1,200 to $2,000 a set and can wear out in 15,000 miles, and brakes cost more to replace.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a Dual-Motor with the Large battery pack: it balances range and price well; the Adventure package adds an upgraded interior and audio over the base.
On the test drive

Prices are typical dealer and private asking prices from used listings, collected in September and October 2026, for an average-mileage car. Years with too few listings are estimated from nearby years. Crash ratings, recalls and owner complaint counts come from NHTSA public records. Always get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy. Spot something off? Let us know.
