Repair and parts reality
Parts access: Good. Repair-cost signal: Moderate. A local independent shop, dealer distance, sensor calibration, tire size and collision parts can matter more than a national average.
CRASHWORTHINESS · RECALLS · STRUCTURE
Safety should be compared by exact year and trim.
NHTSA stars below are loaded from the official 5-Star Safety Ratings API. Ranges mean tested drivetrains or body variants differ. IIHS uses a separate crashworthiness and crash-avoidance test program.
Loading official NHTSA tests and recalls…
Star ratings apply only to the shown model year and tested variant. They cannot be transferred automatically to another year, trim, body style or build date. Recall count is model-level; use the VIN lookup to see whether a specific vehicle has an unrepaired recall.
