Under the hood theres a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine making about 176 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration isnt sporty, but its perfectly adequate for highway merging and daily commuting. Ride quality is generally comfortable, and the steering feels predictable its not going to wow you with sharp turns, but it offers confidence in most driving conditions.Inside, the cabin is well laid out with straightforward controls.

The LE does lack some of the more advanced tech and driver-assist features found in higher trims, but for someone who values reliability, simplicity, and everyday usefulness, it offers excellent value.RECALL NOTICEWhat is a recall:A safety recall involving a motor vehicle or an item of motor vehicle equipment can be independently conducted by a manufacturer or ordered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
