Pros
Fuel Economy
I can get back and forth to work on the battery alone. I buy gas about every 4 months!
Power
This is a fun car to drive. Very sporty compared to my previous car.
Cons
Interior Space
It is on the snug side. I wish the trunk had a bit more room too.
Pros
Fuel Economy
When using electric only, the mileage is 999 mpg, the highest the display will show. When in hybrid mode, I'm averaging about 52 mpg.
Interior Space
I'm 6'2" and have plenty of room. I looked at other hybrids, and this was the roomiest and still comfortable for passengers.
Technology and Entertainment
This specific model has an unbelievable amount of options.
Cons
Power
Not a con for me, but may be for others. It's not a Tesla. Do not expect to be thrown back into your seat.
Pros
Fuel Economy
I'm able to accomplish nearly all of my day to day driving on the electric battery, and when I do drive long distances I get amazing gas mileage.
Interior Space
Plenty of room in the backseat for adult passengers
Value
Cons
Power
The engine is a bit loud and clunky when trying to drive up steep hills / mountain passes. You'll make it just fine but it's not the smoothest experience.
Cargo Space
The cargo area is a bit smaller than we had in our last car, which was a similarly sized hatchback.
Pros
Fuel Economy
very good hybrid fuel economy at ~46 mi/gal. And 25 mile all-electric range.
Styling
nice compact SUV design.
Value
excellent price, quality, reliability, etc. for a PHEV.
Cons
Power
engine and electric motors are both a bit on the low power side. Fairly slow acceleration, but this is what you expect for a highly fuel efficient PHEV, so not a real surprise.
