Help me find a medium suv. Medium suv is 5-seater family car and 4.6-4.7m length max.
My criteria is:
Has to retain its value somewhat.
Has to be economic of fuel, I don’t want too many trips to station. I can’t see the value in phev, extra $20k would never break even, so thats a no.
I am thinking of lexus nx or rx,
Or mercedes benz glc, but this is not hybrid.
Or bmw x3.
Keen to try ev, but fearful of the price plummet to nothing in just a few years.
I don’t have solar panel.
I don’t mind used cars 1-2 yo.
Preferably not Chinese made cars.
Far too many options.
If you want to retain value get a hybrid, less fuel used will be more important as prices rise. Then again, youll lose a lot less in value from a $50k vehicle than a $100k one.
Dont spend $100k on a 5 seater SUV.
How ling do you plan on keeping? Price of EVs wont 'plummet' at least until its oht of battery warranty, and i suspect the price plummet is just an anti-ev talking point. Even a 10yo EV will still have "commuter range" in the battery so will be popular as second cars. Look at the price difference of ICE cars, their price 'plummets' at 10yo too.
