Actual agreed upon deal was $375 for ev6 and $325 for the Niro.
However, after agreeing to those numbers, I asked the dealer to value my two current leases (both with 3 payments left). I knew in advance that the value for both vehicles were below the residuals plus remaining payments.
For one vehicle (2022 civic hatchback), the value was $825 less than the lease payout. Dealer bought the vehicle and added $24 to the monthly on the ev 6.
For the other vehicle (2023 Ioniq 5), the value was so below the residual that they did not want the vehicle. Instead, they offered to hand me a check for the remaining payments ($1689) and add $54 to the monthly on the niro. Only drawback is that I have to return the vehicle myself.
I chose to take the bigger increase on the niro because I’m more likely to end my ev6 lease early so I wanted to keep those payments lower.
How would you compare the two cars? Wonder why you went with this combo instead of 2 EV6s. I only rode the previous gen Niro EV for a uber ride – it was okay but not EV6 level. Is the current gen Niro EV close enough to EV6 in terms of comfort, quality, etc?
curious if you reached out or if we had any communication. granted, i know my dealer didn’t have any 2024 niros, but even on a 25, that payment should be much lower. same w the ev6.
The niro was for my wife. This is her first electric and first crossover. She doesn’t really care about the performance of the car. I really wanted the lowest number possible. I’ve only driven the niro once. I’ll get back to you in a few weeks for the comparison.
