Cargo volume varies with the third-row seating configuration.

The PHEV needs separate charging and gasoline-use calculations.

Standard AWD should be compared with AWD rivals.

Model-year and measurement caveat

Use the exact trim, drivetrain, roof equipment and powertrain when a number is configuration-sensitive. Cargo volume does not prove that a rigid item fits through the hatch; measure the exact vehicle for close-fit use cases.
