Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Decent driving range,
handsome design inside and out,
generous standard features.

Cons
Tepid acceleration,
banal handling,
not eligible for governmental EV rebates.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Long list of standard features
Offers a lot of the latest technology and driver assist features
Smooth ride and quiet cabin
Relatively roomy cargo area

Cons
Doesn't provide much excitement from behind the wheel
Front seat padding is a bit too firm for ideal comfort

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Perky turbocharged four-cylinder,
Italian roots,
nicely-equipped even in base trim

Cons
Snug rear seat,
rivals offer more overall interior space,
perhaps a little too similar to the Alfa Romeo it's based on.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Very powerful for a small crossover
Comfortable, controlled suspension
Base model's great feature-per-dollar value

Cons
R/T hybrid model's compromised cargo area
Lacks practicality of other compact SUVs
Hellcat V-8 probably won't fit
