@max_g Love it what you said above—if luxury & performance is the criteria, which EV would you personally choose from the EV list?
Audi? A6? Q6 is having s/w problems or not leasing well?
Already have three cars (Nissan Ariya at $124/mo returning in December, plus two BMWs), but I’m planning ahead for expiring credits and want to future-proof for the next 24 months. so this will be technicall replacing Ariya. Other leases are till 2027/2028.
Would love to hear your take given this context!
Just to get a sense of deal volume and size, I asked Perplexity to pull the latest 1-2 months Signed Deals forum data. See below.
For performance a ZDX Type S or a 2025 BMW IX 50 if any are left.
For value a Lexus RZ. Not in the superficial payment/sticker sense because the sticker is surprisingly low. But the best feature content per dollar right now IMO.
RZ design looks good on paper. Range is too low. 200ish
BMW ix is too expensive. Doesn’t make sense to spend that on electric. I can have M3 or M4 in less payment. Already have 80K M440i xd GC picked up in Jan this year. ix Doesn’t stand near it in terms of power and styling.
A6 looks tempting with 390 range. can get easily 300 in winter.
you think last week of Sep A6 can be haggle for 15-20% off?
What is this sales credit thing? is it state thing?
Hello. It’s unclear if the OP plans to return, but they asked about a Q6 and the topic is veering off that top. Would you mind creating a new topic (or if I moved your posts and related ones to a new topic)?
RZ300e is 266 miles. But after 4 years of EV driving I’ve realized that beyond 200 miles the range is largely irrelevant. I rarely drive beyond 150 miles in a day. So a couple additional stops per year is nothing especially when they can be timed with meal stops anyway. YMMV.
And 3yr Lexus EV leases come with free 30 days of Lexus ICEV rentals for people whose range anxiety on road trips is stopping them from leasing an RZ.
I’m in the same camp. My Lucid is up the first week of October so looking at getting something the end of September. My list of cars I’m hoping to see deals this month include:
Hummer EV
Escalade EV
Lucid
It’s been good. The tech is glitchy. I would be open to another one but after paying $380 a month, it would be hard to get another at the current lease rates.
It’s worth comparing features and then comparing payments on an apples:apples basis. “Fully loaded” has become such an ambiguous and possibly meaningless term when it means different things on different cars.
For example a base RZ 300 premium is equipped with 360, vent seats, heated wheel, etc. How much is a Io5 with the same features?
don’t know if they do…
