Fuel economy: FuelEconomy.gov (DOE/EPA). Recalls and complaints: NHTSA files. A dash means we could not match that year to NHTSA records by name or no rating is published.
Complaint counts grow as a model ages, so older years usually show more complaints than newer ones.
What the numbers mean

Recalls counts NHTSA safety recall campaigns that name that model year. Complaints counts unverified owner reports filed with NHTSA since 2015. Overall rating is the best NHTSA 5-Star score among the tested versions.
