- Reliability (4)Acura's build quality is high, and the powertrain is robust; however, the early turbochargers and cooling systems require a watchful eye as they age.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance is relatively affordable compared to German competitors, though the requirement for premium fuel and specific SH-AWD fluid increases operating costs.
- Technology (4)The Technology Package includes an impressive ELS Surround Sound system and a solar-sensing climate control system that remains functional and intuitive.
- Comfort (3)While the seats are supportive and the cabin is well-laid out, the ride quality is notoriously stiff and can be punishing on uneven road surfaces.
- Dynamics (4)The SH-AWD system offers class-leading handling and torque vectoring, making it feel more like a sport sedan than an SUV, though the turbo lag is noticeable.
