This was in the news. I haven't contacted the dealer yet but it looks like $2210 pay down and $125 a month. My simple math says about $185 a month.

This excludes any dealer discounts. But may exclude some other fees. I have never leased so no clue.

Great as a third car. Note that this model didn't get very good reviews - hence it being priced accordingly.

Correct.
Toyota built this as a compliance car to fill a gap in the lineup and has zero focus on it or care. If anything, it is the 'look we built an EV, it sucks!'. The first production run had WHEELS FALLING OFF. They recalled every single one! The car is slow and just utterly wild in it's idiocy.

We test drove the badge engineered Subaru version - the Solterra. Same car, different logo.
The list of infuriating choices piled fast. Want to move the driver's seat? BEEPS. CONSTANT BEEPS.
Want to back up? It beeps on the inside and inside only. Who are they warning?! Me? I"M DRIVING THE CAR.
The performance is just bad. It has a quick little bit of torque and then falls on it's face.
Did I mention the range sucks and that the car does not support fast charging so you literally cannot roadtrip it without hour-long-stops?
All in all, it just felt like Toyota was completely uninterested in building it as it is lower margin than gas/hybrid.

Then you have the ioniq 5. Hyundai's focus is straight up on on beating the Tesla Model Y. They are serious and in it. The car is shockingly better looking in person than the BZ4X. The interior feels like tomorrow and has innovative ideas, way more range, way better software, etc.
Korea is currently having the same moment that Japan had in the 90s, Hyundai should be taken seriously, esp in the EV space.
Texas sucks for leases. Have to pay taxes on full amount.

TX offer is $4k down $219 a month plus TTL
This price is only for 2023 which is all sold out

Quote from Adamm345 :
To add to this, since this is an EV and I have always wanted to try out an EV, a $125 a month lease seems like a cheaper way to try out an EV without going for a full purchase and it let's me keep my current car as a backup.
I somewhat agree. But in California, with crazy high new car registration fees, and high electricity and auto insurance... bend over!

This is $299 in Tennessee, unfortunately. At $129 for the 23 or even the $189 for the 24, I'd be in. That's a really inexpensive way to do electric. But no, in TN it's $299/mo + $200/yr registration.

Quote from AmusedCrib2087 :
can anyone give me a financial sounded reason why does people interested in leasing car ?
If your choice is to buy or lease a new vehicle, there are a specific set of circumstances where the lease makes more sense. If you buy the car outright, you are paying for 100% of the depreciation. If you find a car with a high residual and low money factor (like this Toyota), over the span of the 2 year lease, you're paying less than the depreciation. The residual buyout price winds up being higher than the actual market value. So if you walk away, you're coming out ahead, again assuming you are set on driving a new car and are only looking at the options to buy or lease. Obviously your best choice overall is to buy a 3+ year old used car and hold onto it for as long as it drives safely, but if you value having a new car and you can afford it, this is a situation where you're better off leasing.

In MN, the registration fee will probably be $500+ per year for this vehicle, so it's very hard to swallow even when the lease price is very attractive.

I agree with your entire comment except the very end should just say "Hyundai should be taken seriously in the EV space." Their gas models leave a lot to be desired in terms of reliability.

Their 7 and 8 speed DCTs have extremely high faulure rates. Many of their engines have widespread issues as well, particularly the Theta and Nu engines, as well as the Smartstream engine family. I don't know many people with Hyundai/Kia cars, but like half the people I do know with them have had major issues way too early. This includes my girlfriend's sister, who's 2017 Santa Fe Sport needed a new engine at just 3 years 50k miles, a coworker who's 2019 K5 already needed a new engine and was in the shop nonstop until she got rid of it in 2022, and an acquaintance through work that's already had a transmission replacement on his Santa Cruz (not sure what year, but those have only been around a couple years).

AFAIK their EV models are reliable though. All the issues I've seen with Hyundai/Kia cars are with their powertrain components on gas models.

bZ4X is trash because Toyota is not going to lose money like Ford and chevy does so it's essentially the lowest quality material and bare minimum stuff inside just to get an EV out the door.

Quote from Scizmz :
Dont get the toyotas or Chevy Bolts. They have crappy onboard chargers that take super long to charge at 3rd party sites. 50kwh cap.

The onboard charger only handles level 1 and level 2 AC charging.

DC fast charging is handled by the charging station and the software in the car.

Both the Toyota and Bolt are great cars for urban driving.
I had a Bolt for 3 years and only needed to DCFC it two times when I went into a big city. Even then, it was 30 minutes to get the range I needed.
It was the lowest maintenance and most reliable car I ever had.
EVs lije these are meant to be charged at home 95% of the time.

All the Hyundai and Kia EV's models have issues with the ICCU which causes the 12v battery to die, and other charging issues. They claim the failure rate is only 1%, but it seems to be much higher, as that 1% is only what the consumers have reported to the NTSB.

I agree. They ruin it for the rest who are truly trying to make use of SlickDeals. I have to go through hundreds and hundreds of posts just to see if someone has been able to replicate the deal. I really think the mods should start working on this or else, I am going to find my deals somewhere else.
