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.

  • 24% 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.

  • 6 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 forward collision avoidance

    8 of 38 complaints to NHTSA mention it. Worth a look in a pre-purchase inspection.
