Seven specifications describe the LE Hybrid FWD reference. Towing is a separate lineup maximum of 3,500 lb on select AWD grades, when properly equipped. Comfort highlights identify separate grades. Equipment, output, fuel economy, dimensions and towing vary by grade and drivetrain. EPA estimates are for comparison; actual mileage varies. Towing requires proper equipment and must stay within the vehicle’s limits. Photography is illustrative.

Driver-assistance features have limits and require attentive driving. See the Owner’s Manual for operating conditions and limitations.
