What to check before you buy

  • Look for service records and check all three rows for wear patterns. Verify the all-wheel drive system functions properly and inspect the transmission for smooth shifts. Compare fuel costs with similar crossovers—maintenance is typically affordable. Test the backup camera and parking sensors. Confirm tire tread and suspension health, as AWD models see varied driving conditions.
