The SUV measures 188.4 inches long, 75.2 inches wide, and 69.3 inches high, with a 109.8-inch wheelbase. Curb weight ranges from 4,045 to 4,464 lbs, and cargo space behind the rear seats is 10.3 cubic feet.

Consider the 10.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats alongside passenger needs and travel plans. A review drive can also help clarify how the V6 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, seating position, and overall SUV dimensions fit daily use.
