Is Kia ev6 the sort of car you can easily drive for next 7 years? Were looking at buying new car and I can stretch for a GT Line ev6 (£48k) new but don't know if it makes sense to just buy some Kia Niro 4 hybrid level (~£29k) or RAV4 Dynamic/Sorento level (£34-36k). Second hand car prices so crazy and not in a rush so thinking 2.9% APR doesn't sound bad on a max deposit (+ often 1-2k dealer contribution). 2kids (3.5+ newborn in few months), 3rd in 4-5 years. UK based. 8-10k miles /yr.

Not considering from environment pov, but rather just having a highly rated car that could also save money on petrol especially in these times.
Most driving is just shop and school.
Sadly Kia niro is getting replaced so can't even get one now I think so maybe a Kona or Xceed or some other PHEV hybrid? Wondering if it's better to save 15k in case I want to upgrade in 3 years...

Ps apart from Kia ev6 heart desires German badge but I think a Kia / Toyota / Hyandai would make more sense due to warranty probably?

Xc40 also maybe on the table

yeah, man! I used to LOVE Eve 6 in college! What's that? EV6? Seriously? They named it that on purpose? In 2022? Ok.

Seriously, though, I saw one recently, and it's very impressive. It looks really sharp with modern aggressive styling. I haven't driven it, but Kia has been making really good cars of late. (The Kia Stinger is a legit sports sedan on par with anything Lexus or Audi make.)

And when you consider that every Tesla platform is older than 2017, I don't really consider them the default market leader anymore. EVs are becoming such a competitive space that you should absolutely look around and explore.

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

Features are about the same but the more expensive option has nicer wheels so maybe that’s worth ~$2k. TIA
