Worth knowing
- The six-cylinder versions are thirsty, AWD parts like the angle gear are costly to fix, and the infotainment lacks smartphone integration.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a 2015 or 2016 Drive-E T5 for better fuel economy, or a T6 AWD for power; the Platinum trim adds navigation, harman kardon audio, and blind-spot monitoring.
On the test drive
Check the AWD angle gear and rear differential for leaks or whining, and ask whether their fluids have been serviced. Pay for an inspection at an independent shop that specializes in the brand.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from 2011, optional from 2010.
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2010, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
