There's a 3.5 L twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 375hp/391 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and all-wheel drive. 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.0 seconds @ 99.2 mph. The EPA estimated fuel economy is 19 city/25 highway/21 combined (mpg). The review average was 21.4 MPG using the recommended premium fuel (91 octane). One thing that’s complained about with luxury crossovers, the side is too dirty to step in, is alleviated by having the doors cover the sills in this model.
One thing that was missing was some sound. While some artificial sound is piped in. Some additional sound is a must have. It is luxurious and feels solid with no rattle or vibration.Adaptive suspension is extremely comfortable and never feels too firm. The test was a more relaxed ride.
