Deal check: Volvo 2025.5 XC90 PlugIn Hybrid

Have you looked at lease deals for the Telluride? My vague memory is that it leases “okay,” and you might be willing to overlook the issues w/ the Telluride, if the cost is much less (which it might be, even w/o incentives and rebates).

yes I have…was really considering it because of all the rave reviews and great car on reviews, etc. but once I drove it, it felt like a paperweight. more importantly, the wife didn’t like it which is a dealbreaker. wanted to get a much larger 3 row suv

The true large 3 row SUVs are pay to play vehicles/have leasehackr scores that make grown men cry.

on that note. is it worth it to go through a broker for these large 3 row suv’s? i did find on auto companion (AutoCompanion | Expert Car Buying Assistance) but not sure if the experience has been OK as I have never used a broker for car leases…

The XC90 isn’t any larger than the Telluride/Palisade.

You just need to weight the savings vs the broker fee. Currently it’s not easy to get much below MSRP on a 2025 Tahoe or Yukon so the discount might be worth it. Also check to make sure you don’t qualify for GM supplier. At least on the Yukon the MF is over 8% and the RV is in the 50s so you should also seriously consider financing vs leasing.
