* To get safety braking, adaptive cruise, pano sunroof etc.. it gets up to $53,000... not including their destination charges...!!

* My take on it ..... At first, I get a wow, what a sweet and comfy lux feeling ride.. Nice Vehicle. and it really is nice in general.
With it's very comfy seats, comfy ride, very decent handling, and classy looks inside and out.... Has lots of the techy stuff, etc. etc...
- The Lane Keep Assist works very decently, thumbs up !
BUT,
Then I notice all the negatives you here about in the video above and the interior/walk around video part 2 of for this car.
You do get lots of stuff, but some you have to pay top trim to get,and others are still extra costs and some are not even available in this vehicle, to compete with it's class.
Like.
No Memory Side Mirrors w/seat settings
-Side Mirrors Don't Angle Down in Reverse
-Headlamps are Not Directional
-No Auto Highbeam Assist.. until Top trim 2
-Not Quietest Cabin, Especially for it's class
-Lesser Headroom than Most
-No Express Up on Any Passenger Windows
-Adaptive Cruise & Forward Brake Assist, Pano sunroof Only in Top Trim as OPTION !!! Extra costs !!
-Most Cool Features are in Premium Trim Levels only.
- Smallest Cargo Area in it's Size Class (not a serious thing, but size matters)
- And w/So So power (real world to the wheels, not just on paper), and So So Fuel Economy ?? Hmm...
- Torque comes in at 3,000rpm, which is later than Pretty much all it's competitors w/a turbo engine !
- Forward Collision Alert Doesn't seem to work very well, that maybe a calibration fix, or maybe not fixable at all. I'll ask them and reply w/update, if I get one.
- Stereo is just o.k.

I'm not trying to be mean here, as it's a very nice SUV overall, but just pointing out features, or lack there of, honestly.
**Just Overpriced for What You Get or Don't Get !!
