Legacy
The base trim, simply called the Legacy, starts at $24,395. The model includes cloth upholstery, adjustable front seats, and a 7-inch display infotainment system. With it, you’ll get features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD radio, satellite radio, Bluetooth, two USB ports and four-speaker audio.
Additionally, there are plenty of driver assistance features for your money. The vehicle features adaptive cruise control, forward automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, a rearview camera and automatic high beams – among other features.
As for the engine, it’s a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. It gets 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, so it has a decent fuel economy on top of impressive performance.
Premium
The Premium is the second-level trim, which starts at $26,695. It features an 11.6-inch display, six-speaker audio, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Other features include dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, two rear USB ports and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
To this trim you can also add driver assistance features like blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert for $1,000. This package also provides proximity keyless entry and push-button start ignition. Another package for $2,595 adds navigation and a moonroof.
