Which trim is worth it

LT

Worth it

The LT trim adds features like upgraded interior materials and enhanced connectivity options, which can improve daily driving comfort and convenience. It's a worthwhile upgrade if these features align with your needs.

RS

Worth it

The RS trim offers a sportier appearance and additional performance features. If you prioritize style and a more engaging driving experience, this trim justifies the additional cost.

ACTIV

Probably skip

While the ACTIV trim provides off-road enhancements, unless you frequently drive on rough terrain, the benefits may not outweigh the cost increase for typical urban or highway driving.
