Higher grades bring dual-zone climate control, Nappa or leather seats with heating and ventilation, multi-way power adjustment plus memory for the driver, and a heated steering wheel. A power moonroof opens the cabin on many versions. Seats use denser foam for better support and the interior uses wood or Ultrasuede accents with improved sound deadening for a quieter, more refined feel on long drives.
EPA fuel economy around 26 city/35 highway mpg for non-turbo automatic models. turbo versions lower at about 23/31.
Euro NCAP and ANCAP five-star rating from 2018 tests with 95 percent adult occupant protection.
Standard kit includes multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, DSC, traction control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert on most grades.

Fuel use stays efficient for the class with the 2.5-litre petrol engines. Non-turbo automatics return the best figures in official EPA tests while the available turbo trades a little economy for stronger mid-range pull. Diesel options in some markets deliver even lower consumption on longer trips.
Servicing follows normal schedules for the Skyactiv engines. Keep up with oil and filter changes to maintain reliability. The car uses common parts and has a solid record for durability when maintained.
Safety starts with a strong body structure and full set of airbags. All tested variants earned five stars. Standard electronic aids cover stability and basic collision alerts. Higher grades or packages add full i-Activsense radar and camera systems for automatic braking, adaptive cruise and lane support that work well in daily traffic.
Living with the car means low drama ownership. The cabin stays quiet and supportive on highway runs. Regular dealer or independent service keeps costs predictable and the rigid chassis holds alignment well over time.
