The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV boasts style, an attractive starting price, and a range of up to 319 miles on a charge.

Cons

<ul>
<li>No Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</li>
<li>Just three trims</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

With a single electric motor, the 2026 Equinox EV sends 220 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. That’s enough pep for average acceleration, taking about 8 seconds to reach 60 mph, right in line with acceleration times for the average gas-powered compact SUV. With the Equinox EV, however, there’s no raucous engine noise, transmission whine, or vibration — just quiet, smooth transport. We love this about EVs in general, and think you will, too.
For those who desire quicker acceleration and better grip, the all-wheel-drive option adds a second electric motor, increases output to a potent 300 hp, and bumps torque out to 355 lb-ft. With this potent setup, the all-wheel-drive Equinox EV can do the zero-to-60 mph dash in less than 6 seconds — quite fast, for sure.
Over long stretches of highway, we found the Equinox EV’s ride to be smooth and comfortable. Due to the added weight of the large battery pack, however, the Equinox requires a more robust suspension that can be less forgiving when encountering rough or pothole-strewn pavement. But not so much that it rattled anyone’s teeth. We think the Equinox’s big 21-inch wheel and tire combo — optional on the LT models, standard on the RS — also contributes to the SUV’s firm ride. The lower trims come with 19-inch wheels and tires, a combination that usually returns a softer ride.
The Equinox EV’s low center of gravity, heavy battery pack, and wide platform all contribute to a feeling of stability. We found the steering feel to be light with communicative feedback.
One-pedal driving is unique to EVs, and Equinox’s system works seamlessly. Trusting the system takes some time, but if you feel deceleration isn’t happening fast enough, you can increase brake force pressure via a steering wheel-mounted paddle. And, of course, there’s always the traditional brake pedal.
Range and Charging
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV has a maximum range of 319 miles for front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel-drive variants can go up to 307 miles. These ranges are impressive and highly competitive among electric SUVs, especially considering the Equinox EV’s lower price point.
For comparison, the Ford Mustang Mach-E will do 320 miles, the Kia EV6 up to 319 miles, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 maxes out at 318. According to Tesla, the pricier Model Y is good for up to an EPA-estimated 357 miles, but at the time of this writing, the EPA has yet to confirm that figure.
Using a DC fast charger, the Equinox EV can add 77 miles of range in 10 minutes and charge up to 150 kW. That lags rivals such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, but should still be serviceable for most drivers. A Level 2 home charger supplies the Equinox EV with up to 34 miles of range every hour, or about 9 hours to reach a full charge. The Equinox EV offers a NACS adaptor for use at Tesla Supercharger stations and the growing number of charging stations using that standard.

Attractive Exterior

Exterior

LED technology allows car designers to use thinner and thinner headlights. The ones on the new Equinox EV have merely become each end of an across-the-nose strip. We think this gives the front a certain attitude that makes the SUV profile and tail a little more interesting. LT models offer the option of a contrasting white roof; the RS versions can be ordered with a black roof.
Although there’s also a Chevy Equinox SUV with a combustion engine, it’s not built on the same platform as this Equinox EV. The Equinox EV is about 7 inches longer and 3 inches wider than its gasoline-powered namesake. But like its gasoline-fueled sibling, the Equinox EV offers a two-tone color combination, specifically a black roof treatment on the RS model.
Overall, we think the Equinox EV has sleek, stylish looks that will attract a lot of buyers.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Infotainment system 
This Google-based system includes a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen as standard, which dwarfs some luxury brand screen sizes.
Super Cruise 
This is one of the best (of only a few, admittedly) hands-free partial self-driving systems we’ve come across. It works on more than 400,000 miles of North American roads preprogrammed into the navigation system. It’s available starting with the LT 2 trim.
Safety Alert Seat 
We all use our eyes and ears to perceive possible hazards, but Chevrolet’s standard Safety Alert Seat alerts the driver’s nether regions by vibrating the lower cushion whenever the vehicle’s sensors pick up on impending peril.
One-pedal driving 
Many electric vehicles have this feature, where speeding up or slowing to a complete stop can be accomplished by varying the pressure on the accelerator pedal. It’s achieved by setting brake energy regeneration levels to maximum. Negotiating city traffic becomes less tiring — only urgent stops necessitate stepping on the brake pedal. It’s another standard feature in the 2026 Equinox EV.
Hands-free tailgate operation 
It is not at the cutting edge of electric vehicle tech, but it is wonderfully convenient, nevertheless. It’s standard on the upper two trims.
Rear camera mirror 
It looks like a regular rearview mirror, but this option can also show the feed from a wide-angle camera, so drivers can see what’s behind without the clutter of cargo, passengers, or bodywork. It’s available beginning on the LT 2 trim.

Contemporary Cabin

Interior

Chevrolet describes the interior of the Equinox EV as “streamlined.” We’d call it neatly contemporary. The most impressive feature is the massive 17.7-inch touchscreen, the same one found in the big Chevy Silverado EV electric truck. The screen graphics are clear and easy to decipher, and the menus are simple without too many layers. We also love how quickly the touchscreen responds when prompted.
Accompanying the infotainment system is Google built-in, which handles all your navigation, texting, apps, and voice control needs. But you should be aware that GM locks out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for EVs with this system, a decision that doesn’t apply to its gas-fueled models. We do applaud GM for retaining a redundant set of hard buttons and knobs for the climate controls.
While testing at night, we were pleasantly surprised by GM’s clever use of light as a design element, most notably in the multicolored ambient panels above the glovebox and behind the door panels.
We found much to like inside the Equinox EV’s roomy cabin. There’s 38 inches of legroom for the rear seat, which is comparable to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 but not quite as generous as in the Tesla Model Y. With the rear seats folded down, there’s a maximum of 57 cubic feet of cargo volume, on par with the Ioniq 5, but way short of the Model Y’s 76 cubic feet.

KBB Editors' Overview

There are now many all-electric compact SUVs to choose from, and the Chevrolet Equinox EV is among the most alluring. As one of the newest models, it brings all the latest tech and features you’d expect, but its real X factor is this EV’s combination of low price and high range. The 2026 Equinox EV remains among the most affordable electric compact SUVs, at least in base form, while boasting among the best range figures among its competitors: 319 miles.
Add to that this model’s svelte style and practical interior, and the Chevrolet Equinox EV makes a compelling competitor to rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Tesla Model Y, Toyota bZ, and Nissan Ariya.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

With its mid-$30K starting price, the 2025 Equinox EV is among the least-expensive electric vehicles you can buy. It’s not much more than the smaller <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/kona-electric/">Hyundai Kona EV</a>, but a few thousand above the new <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/leaf/2026/">2026 Nissan Leaf</a>. Among more direct competitors, the Equinox EV starts thousands less than a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang-mach-e/">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/ioniq-5/">Hyundai Ioniq 5</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/ev6/">Kia EV6</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/">Tesla Model Y</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/id4/">Volkswagen ID.4</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/ariya/">Nissan Ariya</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/bz/">Toyota bZ</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/solterra/">Subaru Solterra</a>. The caveat is that the undercut in price lies with the base LT 1 trim. The higher LT 2 and RS Equinox EV models have closer parity to those rivals.
In the past, the Equinox EV could save you even more money thanks to its eligibility for the $7,500 federal tax credit on electric vehicles. However, that incentive is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/7500-ev-tax-credit-could-end-in-september/">set to end in the fall of 2025</a>. Before buying a Chevrolet Equinox EV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV’s resale value is about average for its segment. Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

The Chevrolet Equinox EV uses an 85 kWh battery pack. It returns up to 109 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) for front-wheel-drive models and 103 MPGe for those with all-wheel drive. Those are similar to others in this class. The higher the MPGe rating, the more efficiently the motors use electricity.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Chevrolet’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among mainstream manufacturers, although Hyundai and Kia offer better terms. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. Chevrolet includes five years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance, plus a free first service within one year or 12,000 miles.
Safety
The Chevrolet Equinox EV earns a top 5-Star crash-test rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Standard safety features in the new Equinox EV include forward collision with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, plus lane-keeping assistance and Blind Zone Steering Assist.

What's New for 2026

What's new for

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV sees only minimal changes in its third year on sale. A Midnight Package becomes available for the base LT 1 trim, and a dual-level charge cord is standard. The former 6-way manually adjustable passenger seat is reduced to a 4-way seat.

The 2026 Mazda CX-50 blends adventurous attitude and premium flair, then adds spry driving manners to the mix.

<ul>
<li>Cargo space lags rivals</li>
</ul>

Most CX-50 buyers get the base engine, which is good for 187 horsepower. That’s the same as a Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, three shy of the non-hybrid Honda CR-V, and a few more than the Chevrolet Equinox. In other words, it’s typical for this class. We think it’s sufficient for most situations. Whether cruising highways or slugging it out in heavy city traffic, we’ve found the CX-50 adapts well, delivering smooth, consistent performance. And if you’ve ever driven a Mazda, you know these vehicles have a more fun, athletic-leaning nature than other vehicles. The CX-50 is no exception. We also like that the CX-50 comes with all-wheel drive standard. This provides enhanced traction on slick and dry roads alike. For those who want to venture off-road, or at least a bit further off pavement, there’s an off-road mode and an available towing mode to best make use of the CX-50’s 3,500-pound max tow capacity.
If you want more fervor in your CX-50, look to a turbo model. It boosts the fun factor with 227 hp — or up to 256 hp when fed 93 octane gas.
Fuel Economy
Keeping in mind that the CX-50 comes with all-wheel drive as standard and most of its rivals don’t, it still lands close to the middle of its class. The non-turbo engine achieves 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That’s just one mpg less than the Subaru Forester (another contender with standard all-wheel drive). The CX-50’s turbocharged engine manages 25 mpg combined.
If you prioritize fuel economy and want a CX-50, check out the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid, which earns 38 mpg combined and has more power than the base engine in the standard CX-50.

Rugged Aesthetics

There’s no mistaking a Mazda for anything else. The longish hood and short overhangs provide the CX-50 with a rakish, sporty look. Yet as the more outdoorsy sibling to the more road-oriented CX-5, the CX-50 features rugged design elements like black fender cladding. Meridian Edition models, which for 2026 can be had with the non-turbo engine, amplify the message with 18-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tires and black roof rails.

i-Activ all-wheel drive 
This standard system can predict when wheelspin will occur and respond almost immediately, sending power where it’s needed most.
Mi-Drive 
Also known as Intelligent Drive Select, Mi-Drive lets the CX-50 driver choose from Normal, Sport, and Off-Road modes. In Sport, responses are sharpened. For example, the transmission doesn’t upshift automatically when lifting off the throttle, keeping the engine ready for acceleration action.
Dual-zone automatic climate control 
A set-it-and-forget-it system, dividing the CX-50 into left and right regions, each with separate temperature settings. Once set, the system maintains the preset temperatures automatically. It comes standard in the CX-50.
Driver assistance technologies 
Mazda includes an array of safety tech like adaptive cruise control, emergency forward braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and driver-attention monitor.
Head-up display 
This available color display projects vital information onto the windshield just below the driver’s line of sight. It’s designed to help drivers keep their eyes on the road. This feature is more common in luxury vehicles, so we’re pleased to see it in a mainstream model.
Bose audio 
Available in Premium and Premium Plus trims, this 12-speaker system features Bose Centerpoint and AudioPilot technologies for an immersive listening experience.

Upscale, Practical Interior

Mazda designs some of the best-looking interiors among mainstream brands. Despite its premium vibe, the CX-50’s 2-row/5-passenger cabin furthers the impression that this all-wheel-drive SUV is no wallflower. Hosing out the interior is a no-no — it’s not that type of rugged — but the quality of the craftsmanship more than makes up for it. If you’ve been pining for a white interior color choice in addition to the gray, tan, black, and brown hues on offer, Mazda has heard you — even that lighter color is available for 2026. And if you’re one who loves to let the outdoors in, a panoramic moonroof is available — always a nice option to have.
As for spaciousness, although the CX-50’s rear legroom is more than adequate, its cargo room is below average for this compact SUV class. That said, we doubt owners will ever actually run out of room in normal situations.

Some compact SUVs laud themselves for their everyday practicality, while others tout their rugged persona. The 2026 Mazda CX-50 is a mix of both, and what a fine recipe results. As the more off-road-oriented sibling of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-5/2026/">Mazda CX-5</a>, the CX-50 looks like the tougher of the two and has more off-pavement functionality. Yet – and this is what we love about the CX-50 – it’s still a Mazda. By that, we mean it has athletic, enjoyable driving manners, and all the more so if you opt for the potent turbo engine. Yet even if you never venture further than a dirt lot or the suburbs, the CX-50 also serves well as a practical and safe 5-passenger SUV.
Also available is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50-hybrid/">Mazda CX-50 Hybrid</a>, which we review separately.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Mazda CX-50.

The 2026 Mazda CX-50 starts at $31,395 for a base 2.5 S Select model. On the other end, a Cx-50 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus starts at $44,395. With the new CX-50 2.5 Turbo trim, you can step into a turbo CX-50 for $39,395.

The Mazda CX-50 is in line with other popular compact SUVs like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/2026/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/rogue/">Nissan Rogue</a>. But there’s a notable inherent value in the CX-50, since it comes standard with all-wheel drive — an extra cost on most rivals. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester/">Subaru Forester</a>, which also has it standard, is close in price, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/bronco-sport/">Ford Bronco Sport</a> starts higher.
Before buying a new Mazda CX-50 compact SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. The Mazda CX-50’s resale value is average for the class. Remember: Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

The most popular engine is the base 2.5-liter 4-cylinder unit, which makes 187 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque. This goes to a standard all-wheel-drive system through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The optional 2.5-liter turbocharged engine generates 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque when there’s regular 87 octane gas in the tank. That jumps to 256 hp and 320 lb-ft on a diet of 93 octane gas.
The 2026 Mazda CX-50 with the standard engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while those with the turbo engine can pull up to 3,500 pounds, which is on the higher side for this class.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Mazda’s new-vehicle warranty is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is all typical for mainstream manufacturers, although Hyundai and Kia do better.
Safety Ratings
This generation of CX-50 has taken the highest accolade of Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>) and earned the maximum 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>).

For 2026, the Mazda CX-50 gains a Meridian Edition trim with the 2.5 S powertrain — the non-turbo, base engine. There&#8217;s also a new base model with the turbo engine, simply called the CX-50 2.5 Turbo, which gives buyers a less expensive way to get more power and towing capability. A new white interior is available, while black Mazda emblems and badges now grace other trims.

The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid SUV combines great fuel economy, an adventurous vibe, and a high value proposition.

<ul>
<li>Some rivals have more power</li>
<li>… and higher fuel economy</li>
<li>… and more cargo room</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid makes a total of 219 horsepower, which is quite a bit more than the standard CX-50 (187 hp) and the same as the outgoing Toyota RAV4. And we mean literally the same as that soon-to-be-last-gen RAV4 Hybrid: The Mazda actually has a partnership with Toyota to use that powertrain from the hybrid RAV4. Still, we find the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is no copycat, despite the shared heart. Mazda vehicles in general are blessed with an athletic-leaning nature, and that holds true of the CX-50. Combine that cornering talent with the CX-50’s more off-road-oriented nature, and you get a true all-arounder. Whether you’re using the CX-50 for the daily commute, urban errands, or <a href="https://www.kbb.com/reviews/experiencing-the-2025-mazda-cx-50-hybrid/">venturing off the beaten path</a>, it’s up for the challenge and satisfying to drive.
As such, the CX-50 Hybrid compares well with its current class of contenders, but it looks to have serious competition in the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4, which will only be sold as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid and brings more power to the party.
Fuel economy
The Mazda CX-50 earns 38 mpg in combined city/highway driving. This is more than respectable, and a sizable gain over the standard CX-50’s 27 mpg rating. Against competitors, the Mazda’s mpg figures beat the Subaru Forester Hybrid and all-wheel-drive versions of the Honda CR-V Hybrid, and match those of all-wheel-drive Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Kia Sportage Hybrid models.

Adventurous Exterior

The CX-50&#8217;s modus operandi is to be the more rugged, outdoorsy sibling to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-5/2026/">Mazda CX-5</a>, and that shows in its design, including this hybrid version. So there is the requisite black cladding around the wheels and available roof rails to bring your outdoor gear. The two lower trims have a decent 7.8 inches of ground clearance, while the Premium Plus sits at 8.1 inches. That’s good, but still can’t match the Forester Hybrid’s 8.7 inches. The two lower trims ride on 17-inch wheels, while the top one gets 19-inchers. All models have a convenient power liftgate with programmable height setting.

All-wheel drive 
The CX-50 Hybrid’s all-wheel-drive system is different than its gasoline-only counterpart’s, with an electric motor driving the rear wheels. That said, it’s still standard.
Driving modes 
This hybrid drivetrain also has bespoke driving modes, like Power and Trail.
Dual-zone automatic climate control 
A set-it-and-forget-it system, dividing the CX-50 Hybrid into left and right regions, each with separate temperature settings. Once set, the system maintains the preset temperatures automatically.
Driver assistance technologies 
Mazda includes an array of safety tech like emergency forward braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and a driver attention monitor.
Head-up display 
This color display projects vital information onto the windshield just below the driver’s line of sight, to help keep eyes on the road. This feature is more common in luxury vehicles, so we’re pleased to see it in a mainstream model. It comes in the Premium Plus trim of the CX-50 Hybrid.
Bose audio 
Included in Premium and Premium Plus trims, this 12-speaker system features Bose Centerpoint and AudioPilot technologies for an immersive listening experience.

Premium Interior

Mazda interiors of late just feel special, and a cut above the competition. No, they won’t win the ever-competitive screen-size wars, but the CX-50 Hybrid’s 10.25-inch high-mounted display is ample enough. Rather, the CX-50 Hybrid is ready to win you over on its premium-leaning fit, finish, and design. The 5-passenger cabin is simply a nice place to be. In the driver’s seat, you’ll enjoy a cockpit-like experience, and the center console provides a wide berth between you and the passenger. It’s there you’ll also find a traditional, easy-to-use transmission lever — no buttons, dials, or switches here. Directly south of that is a command dial like the ones BMW fashioned so long ago to control infotainment. It takes some getting used to, but after having Mazda long-term test vehicles in our fleet for years, we can say with confidence the learning curve is short.
For 2026, a panoramic moonroof is standard even in base models. And we must mention that the upholstery itself feels a grade above. Another small detail: We simply love the way Mazda steering wheels feel. Go on, grab hold and sense what we mean.
In back, rear legroom of 37.8 inches isn’t class leading — a Kia Sportage Hybrid will give you 41.3 inches — but is fine for most. Same for cargo room: Compare the Mazda’s 29.2 cubic feet with rear seats up and 56.3 with them down to the Kia’s 39.5/73.7 numbers. But we found it useful for most cases, and never needed to stack grocery bags in the front seat due to a lack of space.

We already dig the standard Mazda CX-50 for its rugged yet practical appeal, litany of safety features, and satisfying driving manners. The CX-50 Hybrid boasts all those traits and then adds excellent fuel economy to the equation, earning 38 mpg in combined city/highway driving. As the cherry on top, it also has more power than the standard CX-50.

The 2026 CX-50 Hybrid has an appealing starting price, especially considering it comes standard with all-wheel drive and that even the entry model is well equipped. The CX-50 Hybrid starts above the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson-hybrid/2026/">Hyundai Tucson Hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage-hybrid/">Kia Sportage Hybrid</a>, and below the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester-hybrid/">Subaru Forester Hybrid</a>. It’s also below an all-wheel-drive <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v-hybrid/">Honda CR-V Hybrid</a>. The all-new <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/2026/">2026 Toyota RAV4</a> will only be sold as a hybrid, but pricing on that model — which looks to bring serious competition to all compact SUVs — is still to be announced. Before buying a CX-50 Hybrid, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying.
The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid’s resale value is a bit above average. Recouping more value when you sell or trade in your car can mean more money down and lower payments on your next one.

The 2026 CX-50 Hybrid uses a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine and three electric motors to create a total output of 219 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque. This goes to all four wheels through an automatic transmission. Maximum towing ability is 1,500 pounds, which is at least suitable for a couple of personal watercraft on a trailer.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Mazda’s new-vehicle warranty is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is all typical for mainstream manufacturers, although Hyundai and Kia do better. Hybrid batteries have an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Safety Ratings
Regardless of drivetrain, this generation of CX-50 has taken the highest accolade of Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>) and earns the maximum 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>).

The CX-50 Hybrid debuted just last year, yet improves for its second model year with more features. The base Preferred trim gains a panoramic moonroof and parking sensors, the midgrade Premium gets ventilated front seats and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink universal remote, and the top Premium Plus adds heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel, plus signature lighting.
