Hybrid Blue SEL FWD

HybridFWDMSRP $44,160Compare this trim against anything →

What the Hybrid Blue SEL adds over the SE (+$4,725)

The $4,725 premium buys a hybrid powertrain (329 hp, 34 mpg combined vs. 21), a long feature list including heated and ventilated front seats, heated third-row seats, power-folding second and third rows, Bose 14-speaker audio, surround view monitor, dual-pane sunroof, wireless charging, and a tow hitch. Trade-offs: one fewer seat, less second-row legroom, and a smaller fuel tank.

Pick the SE if: You need 8 seats or want a simpler, lighter, lower-cost vehicle. · Pick the Hybrid Blue SEL if: Fuel savings, comfort features, and towing convenience justify the extra $4,725.
