Hill start assist and trailer sway control are standards. Available on all trims, All-Wheel Drive includes Dynamic Torque Control. This system moves torque to different wheels as it seeks to even out wheelspin. During good driving conditions the system uses fuel-efficient front-wheel drive. If conditions are poor, the crossover can change torque distribution to an even 50-50 front-rear split. At speeds up to 25 mph, the driver can lock the system to maintain traction on sand, snow, mud and other poor terrain. Hybrid models have their own Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive System. This uses an independent electric motor to drive the rear wheels. With all four wheels in place, it's easier for the crossover to maintain traction and stability.

With a combined rate of 194 horsepower, it is the quickest member of the family. Fuel economy is a remarkable 34 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.
