Changes for 2019

The rear of the vehicle has curves and sharp angles in unexpected places, creating refreshing changes to the model. Its suspension has been retuned for far sharper handling, and the Apple CarPlay smartphone integration feature is now included.

The pair of 300 trims come with your choice of a 2.0-liter turbo inline-4 engine or a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. The pair of 350 trims come with the V-6 only. The 2.0-liter engine generates 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the 3.5-liter produces 311 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque.

Both engines take premium gas. The smaller engine gets 21 miles per gallon in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, while the larger engine gets 20 miles per gallon in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
