What Does the Entry Model Include?
The Base keeps standard all-wheel drive, a continuously variable transmission, heated front seats, a power liftgate, a 12.1-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Cloth upholstery helps distinguish its lower-priced position.
| Specification | Base | Wilderness |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-four engine | 2.5-liter naturally aspirated | 2.4-liter turbocharged |
| Horsepower | 180 hp | 260 hp |
| Ground clearance | 8.7 inches / 221 mm | 9.5 inches / 241 mm |
| Wheel diameter | 18 inches | 17 inches |
Wilderness adds adaptive dampers and all-terrain tires. Its extra clearance provides roughly 20 mm more room above trail obstacles; the turbo adds 80 horsepower.
