Record summary
What to know first
Premium and Limited share a 233-horsepower dual-motor AWD powertrain; Limited XT and Touring XT add a stronger front motor for 338 hp. All four trims use the same 74.7-kWh battery and separate by wheel size, comfort and technology equipment. MY2027 holds pricing after 2026's major overhaul.
Model-year note
Larger wheels on the other trims trim the EPA range slightly (278 miles versus 288 miles on the Premium) despite the same battery. The trim ladder is Premium, Limited, Limited XT and Touring XT; the earlier Touring Onyx Edition name does not match the current lineup. The only 2027 change is that the Touring XT now gets black-and-blue leather-trimmed upholstery as standard.
