Sport bucket seats with red stitch accents include a 10-way power driver seat with memory and a 6-way power passenger seat, so more than one driver can get comfortable fast.

Ambient lighting and aluminum sport pedals add to the feel. The driver assistance list is long: a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, the Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert, Evasive Steering Assist and front and rear parking sensors all support an attentive driver and do not replace one.Power comes from the 2.0L EcoBoost with start-stop, working through an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The window sticker shows EPA estimates of 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined, and your actual results will vary. AutoCheck reports one owner and no accidents or damage reported.
