What the figures tell you

Fuel use is rated 11.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 35 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $54.87 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
