EX-L FWD
What the EX-L adds over the LX (+$6,700)
The $6,700 premium buys a hybrid powertrain (146 hp, Atkinson engine, two-motor system) that raises combined MPG from 32 to 48. You lose 2 inches of front headroom and get a smaller fuel tank. You gain leather seats, heated fronts, moonroof, dual-zone climate, power-adjustable seats with memory, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic monitor, parking sensors, and a larger touchscreen.
Pick the LX if: You want more horsepower, more headroom, or a lower purchase price. · Pick the EX-L if: You want higher fuel economy and a more feature-loaded interior.
