Pros & cons
Pros
- Comfortable, quiet highway cruiser with strong standard driver-assistance features.
- Upscale, well-finished interior with available captain’s chairs and modern technology.
- All-new platform drops the CVT for a smoother, more dependable 9-speed automatic transmission.
- Adult-usable third row and easy second-row access on captain’s-chair trims.
Cons
- High insurance and premium-brand ownership costs.
- Early build-year electrical and infotainment glitches reported on the 2022 launch model.
- The 3.5L V6 is adequate but unremarkable and trails turbocharged rivals for punch.
- Ride can feel busy and the steering disconnected; it is not engaging to drive.
