* Please Comment Below with your thoughts on the SUV *

Overall, I really did like this SUV. It's comfy, Fast, reasonable-good on fuel, for it's Power !!..and one of the best Infotainment systems ! Lots of bells and whistle..
Pricing:
From $28.6K range for base up to $44.7K Top Trim. And still lots of features and accessory options available.
Fuel Economy:
Pretty Decent Fuel Economy for it's Power !
City: 10.9L/100kms (21.5mpg) Hwy.: 8.3L/100kms (28 mpg) Comb. 9.2L/100kms (25.5mpg)
That's much better than the Sportage, Wee bit better than CX-5, But less than CR-V or RAV4 (which are also much less power)

* Now, the 2020's have the Techy Safety features STD on all levels.
* I don't like the engine off/on thing, but it has a bypass (just by chance), so that helps. See the bypass method in this video.

Note: Some corrections and further details on the vehicle.
- Driving in L mode, by-passes the Engine off/on thing at stops.. Cool.
- 252Hp @5500rpm & 260 lb./f torque from 2500-4500 rpm (bit late in the rpm range)
- 10 position seating, not 8 (if count the seating tilt angle)
-- Rear Cross traffic alert does not have the added brake assist (Subaru's do)
- has teen driver app, for recording your teens driving habits & can preset a few things to assist them..
- 6 speed auto tranny in lower the 1.5L engine trims, 9 speed only with the 2.0L Turbo
* 2.0L premier has trailer hitch only * 17” Wheels on 1.5L LT’s * 18” Wheels on 1.5L Premier & 19” Wheels on 2.0L ** 2L turbo can tow up to 3,500lbs !
- Tire pressure sensor & reading in all trims from the info centre screen
* Fuel Cap doesn't lock & can be opened by anyone. Hmm ?
* certain added features like power lift gate, larger infotainment screen, navigation, LED lights, memory seats, etc.. are only as added features or on higher trim, even then, as added package. * 4G LTE Capable *
- Head Clearance – more than my whole hand w/No sunroof, Good for it's class. Not so much w/sunroof, as most.
- Does Not get IIHS Top Saferty Pick. It's not Bad, but other vehicles have higher score
- NHTSA Gives it 5 Star Safety Rating.
- Headlamps only receive a moderate score for brightness/visibility score. See IIHS link below.
Note: Headlamps do not turn/curve with car.
