Owners of the Japanese manufacturer’s compact SUV have reported a series of inconveniences related to the vehicle’s electronic components, generating an increasing volume of complaints about the model’s reliability. The main complaints focus on the instability of the entertainment system and the inappropriate triggering of alerts on the instrument panel, situations that compromise the daily use experience and force drivers to make unscheduled visits to authorized workshops.
Consumer reports indicate that, even in low-mileage units, the connectivity system presents pairing difficulties and sudden crashes. Além In addition, significant cases of sporadic activation of the electronic injection light have been recorded, a problem that often persists even after technical interventions carried out by the accredited network, generating uncertainty about the mechanical durability of the car.
Chronic connectivity issues

An emblematic case occurred in Salvador, where a customer needed to activate the warranty a few days after removing the brand new vehicle from the dealership. The solution, however, was not immediate, as replacing the part took weeks, causing disruption in the use of the item. Outros drivers describe the need for complete hardware replacement when successive software updates do not correct the faults.
Engine alerts and complex diagnostics
In addition to entertainment, the reliability of engine sensors has been questioned. The electronic injection light, which signals anomalies in the power supply or exhaust system, lights up on the dashboard of several vehicles without an apparent serious mechanical failure, but requiring professional verification. Em Lorena, in the interior of São Paulo, an owner reported having visited the authorized workshop three times in a single month.
The diagnosis via scanner revealed problems with the canister, the component responsible for filtering fuel vapors, but the cleaning carried out by the technicians only temporarily resolved the issue. The warning resurfaced weeks later, raising doubts about the useful life of the components and the accuracy of the diagnoses carried out. Alguns owners also note that urban consumption has been higher than expected for the category.
Specifications and market context
The model, which continues in its current generation, maintains the mechanical set already known to Brazilians. Sob under the hood, the SUV features a 1.6 aspirated flex engine, capable of delivering up to 113 horsepower, coupled to a CVT automatic transmission that simulates six gears. Essa configuration aims to favor urban performance, taking advantage of the vehicle’s reduced weight, which is around 1,100 kg.
In terms of dimensions, the car is 4.30 m long and offers a 432-liter trunk, a volume greater than the average for the compact SUV segment. The interior space was designed to accommodate four adults in comfort, although the fuel tank of just 41 liters is seen as a limiting factor for range on long journeys.
Pricing and version scenario
On the automaker’s official website, the SUV range continues to be available, divided into three main configurations that meet different budget profiles. The entry-level version, called Active Plus, has a suggested price of R$117,990, focusing on cost-benefit. Já the intermediate option, Sense, is sold for R$131,590, adding comfort items.
The top-of-the-line variant, Advance Plus, costs R$150,190 and offers the most complete equipment package. The model is preparing to gradually leave the line with the arrival of its successor, which will occupy the entry-level range of the brand’s utility vehicles with similar dimensions and a renewed design. The manufacturer maintains the stance of monitoring cases individually through its network, reinforcing the need for strict compliance with the review plan to maintain the warranty.
