$329 a month before tax and license?

@@TechHead01 You asked a question , did you research for an answer ?

How it is so far?

@@oy8717 so far so good. If you have a premium and remove the hubcaps, you’ll have a decent set of black 5 spoke alloys under there.

Glad to see they're keeping with the split front foot well though! Other than the ground clearance and lack of physical buttons, thats probably my biggest gripe with the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Leasing it is very cheap

In nearly every metric, this thing beats a Crosstrek (saying that as a former Crosstrek owner now leasing a Solterra). Comfort, features, acceleration, cargo, off-road ability, etc; the Solterra wins.

Same in the US.

Same situation here. Order parts directly from Toyota! Same parts!

Where did you find that deal? We just saw it for $300/mo

I saw that too, up in Longmont. I think the catch is that they don’t sell. So they’re trying desperately to get them off the lot. Same with other EV’s. I’ve seen lease deals from Nissan in Lakewood on the Ariya around $160 a month with $0 down.

No way 😮 We live in Cali and they quoted us $508/mo 12K lease 😅

@@thecasanovafamily8554 they are trying to rob you. The deal is for Cali to because the dealer soaks up the tax credits. They did ask me when I went in this week “what’s the most you’ll pay” I’m like dude the special was clear. No security deposit. $300 down 300 a month. Apparently there are better deals out there. I haven’t seen the $99 a month down yet but I want to read those terms.

Toyota is prioritizing battery life, promising 90% of original capacity after 10 years. They need to put more base capacity in though...

@@c0rnd0g_19 My impression is that people have a minimum range they’ll accept as adequate and it’s around 250 miles. So if you are serious you really need to do whatever it takes to get there. Toyota combined the lowest horsepower and range of any AWD EV that I know about. The charging is mediocre and they even limited the number times you can charge per day. Not sure if that’s changed. On the more subjective side they did this weird thing with the cladding that makes the car look like it went to the auto shop and they didn’t have the right parts. Like they didn’t have time to make it look good so they just made it look weird. Also on the subjective level, I think it’s the ugliest interior of any EV with that weird instrument cluster. Finally, perhaps worst of all, they have a volume button instead of a knob. It just feels to me like they really didn’t want to make an EV. I have a 21 RAV4 Prime and it’s great. I still think it’s the best PHEV in its class. I want Toyota to do to their EV what they did to the Prime. Show some love and pride. If it’s not a great EV, it’s because Toyota didn’t care to make one.

@@c0rnd0g_19 Wrote a long director’s cut response but it’s disappear. Oh well. Toyota managed to make an EV with the lowest horsepower of any AWD and about the lowest range as well. To me that shows they didn’t really care to be competitive. Subjectively, it’s ugly inside and out. In short it feels unloved.
