What stands behind each score for this car:
Owners have filed 207 complaints with NHTSA for this model-year, and steering is the most reported area with 175 of them (85%). There are 2 recalls on record. Check any specific car against its VIN before buying.
AVOIR scores its reliability 93/100 (excellent) from NHTSA recall campaigns and complaint density. That figure is a raw complaint count, not yet adjusted for sales volume, so a high-volume model scores worse than it deserves.
AVOIR scores its longevity 83/100, but that figure is an estimate built from the powertrain and the brand's record, not a measurement. A 2023 car has no 200,000-mile population to observe yet, so treat it as a prior rather than evidence.
