My wife’s Grand Cherokee 4xe lease is up in two weeks, but we will be on vacation so I really only have one week to make some decisions here. Payment is about $560 in FL
She said she wanted a BMW X1 or X3 which I knew would be a relatively easy find so we didn’t start looking until this month. She didn’t like the X1 as it seemed too cheap and it was a little small. The X3 has sunroof that doesn’t open and apparently that is non-negotiable item for her. The salesman was kind to point out the $85k x5 has an opening sunroof. Thanks pal.
Went to MB and it is almost the same thing. I guess I would need a GLE with pano roof.
She is not interested in the Mazda or a GV70.
Can anyone think of anything else I should look at.
I do have the option to extend the lease on the Jeep. There are 2500 GLE’s within 500 miles and the updated model comes out next year. Maybe there will be a file sale in the next few months.
Your Misses and I are the identical bmw shopper
The correct answer for the exam is X1 2.8 with all the extras but it’s heavier on cost than value and doesn’t usually lease well.
- XC60 Plus/Ultra
- QX60
- GLC-300/350e
- RX350
- RDX/MDX
- Forrester Premium/Limited
You said no Mazda but the CX-50/70 upper trims should at least be test driven. Take her to Carmax to drive as much as possible
If she is driving a GC the bar is set very low which is good for you. I would recommend QX60 as well.
We looked at the GLC and it was either too small or the sunroof issue.
I thought the size difference on the X1 was not that big of deal, but what do I know. I think it is only like 1 inch difference. But the wife wants the extra inch. ![]()
Thanks for the suggestions.
Wasn’t this a thing like 10 years ago?
I meant the sunroof would not open, like the GLB… I think it does with GLC but I also think she thought it was too small.
VW Tiguan?
