| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Only getting about 4-500 km per tank of gas |
| 2002 | 4dr Wagon 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
22 or 23 MPG at best on the highway is mediocre but not terrible given the size and 24V V6. |
