Things to consider when insuring one
5-star overall crash rating
NHTSA’s top crash rating. Crash protection affects injury claims, which make up a large share of what auto insurance pays out.
21% rollover risk in a single-vehicle crash
Higher than most cars, typical of tall vehicles. Rollovers are among the most serious crashes.
Driver-assist sensors come standard
They can help avoid crashes, but a windshield or bumper repair often needs the cameras and radar recalibrated, which costs more. Check what your comprehensive and collision deductibles would mean for a glass claim.
7 recalls for this model year
More than most. When you buy one, make sure every campaign has been completed.
Most owner complaints are about the unknown or other
17 of 79 complaints to NHTSA mention it. Worth a look in a pre-purchase inspection.
