Wooo! Now we are getting into some Chinese BEV price wars.

Costco has announced for members an extra $2,500 off already reduced prices. This is on top of the factory incentives already on offer.

Offer applicable to the BEV and REEV Hybrid and both MY24 and MY25 models, but only seems it is for their Outlander clone C10 model variants.

Offer available until 30 Sept 2025. And as always, terms and conditions apply.

$7,000 Factory Bonus on MY24 C10 Design BEV. ($9,500 off in total, WAS FROM $51,500 - NOW FROM $42,000 DRIVEAWAY for Costco members).

$5,000 Factory Bonus on MY24 C10 Style BEV. ($7,500 off in total, WAS FROM $47,500 - NOW FROM $40,000 DRIVEAWAY for Costco members).

    The slower these brands sell, the quicker they leave the Aussie market.
    It’s MY26 season now, so MY24 and MY25 are a year and 2 years ago now..

      Why would you buy a PHEV now that the FBT exemption has been removed? Previously they were all pre-tax on a novated lease but that ended earlier this year. Next, we'll be finding out in 2027 if the exemption for EVs is extended.

      • Xizor on 02/09/2025 - 18:44
        +2

        Probably because their requriements still mean an ICE/PHEV is more suitable. I know loads of people who a pure EV makes little sense for. It'll change eventually, but there are still a mountain of reasons why. There is personal preference too. Im yet to find an EV i actually like enough to buy, and i keep looking.

      current owner of the REEV, don't think the cpu supports it but there is a dongle one can buy but still can't use steering wheel to skip tracks. The next OTA update due in Sep can only do screen mirroring so once you turn the screen off it's off too for the car

          Erm, yeah they do?
          There's a fairly significant difference between a hybrid, a PHEV and a REEV, which maybe you're conflating?
          The REEV is a pretty popular tech nowadays from the Chinese companies like BYD and Leap.

            @Deviner: the word 'hybrid' encompasses many such technologies.

            you guys fell for marketing of an inferior product.

              +2

              @eddyah: I think you should maybe investigate into these "many such technologies" as I don't think you understand any of them, let alone the differences between them.

              Using "Hybrid" as an umbrella term nowadays is a bit stupid, given the variety of different approaches.

              The REEV/EREV is a combustion engine being used as a range extender to supplement a large battery which drives the motors for, what would normally be, an EV.

              That is completely different, and drives completely different, than something like a Camry "hybrid" which is almost the inverse of the above.

              I could care less about Leapmotor cars, before you claim I'm some outraged fan.
              I am interested in BYDs (moreso Denza) offerings here, though

                I understand them all quite well. Show me fuel usage stats of a 'REEV' that's better than the toyota hybrid - can't do it? because the technology is inferior for what it's suppose to do.

                    no reev right now comes close.

                    just get an EV if you want simplicity and performance.

        • Xizor on 02/09/2025 - 18:55

          Everyone with half a brain knows there is going to be a significant contraction in chinese car companies both in China and here. Especially here, we are but a back water after thought for sales and its as much about eroding the Japanese and Korean car companies viability as anything else. That type of rationalization has been seen in many industries in China, there is a well established pattern to how the government eventually lets the market play out and condense, people here just choose to forget it or more likely are totally oblivious to it.

          It's not about being "Korean ballwashers", it's about your misinformation and anti-EV bullshit rhetoric.

          they can set your house on fire. EVs are known to do that

          They are "known" to do that? Source? Just how many house fires have there been in Australia directly attributed to a fault with the electric car or any part of the electric car's systems? (I can find about 1, and it's kind of too early to tell as the findings on the start of the fire have not been released.)

          Would you like to compare how many house fires have started because of an EV (that wasn't a cheap Chinese unregulated scooter or AliExpress ebike conversion) to how many house fires there have been with relation to ICE vehicles?

          also hyundais but at least they have to manners to do it on the road

          What, you mean, like this Hyundai or did you mean this Hyundai or was it this Hyundai. Were they not actually in the house when they caught fire? At least they had the manner to do it outside.

          I am not suggesting that EV's dont catch fire, because they can, just like any ICE vehicle can catch fire. Both types of fires are very dangerous and the risks are not to be ignored. The only issue here is the suggestion that EV's are "known" to cause house fires, which is just blatant scare campaign bullshit. There is no proof that EV's are "known" to cause house fires at a higher rate than ICE vehicles.

          So, no, just because people dont agree with your brainwashed "woke leftist greenie" hate monologue doesn't make them "Korean ballwashers".

      I bought the C10 BEV and absolutely love it… it's a bargain for that much car:
      - it's extremely spacious, seats are really comfortable, good quality all around, technology that is above and beyond what I've seen in this price range
      - I'm using a Carlinkit dongle (cost $70) for Carplay and it works great (doesn't fully integrate with all steering wheel buttons, but screen is so big, I just use that mainly anyway)
      - have tried 3 different public fast chargers and they work perfectly, charging at home is too easy (only have a granny charger at the moment)
      - Comes with slow charger for home and Type 2 cable for public charging at no extra cost
      - apart from the annoying ADAS bings and bongs (which are pretty easy to turn off - just swipe and tap) I really can't fault it in any major way
      - I think people will be genuinely surprised if they have a look and drive it in person
      - Leapmotor is selling a ton of these in the UK (and Europe in general) mainly due to great pricing and some leasing deal
      - I probably wouldn't have paid $50K, but low 40s is amazing value

        they've basically commoditised the ev ownership experience

        This has been my exact experience as well. 100% agree with all said @tpopi… Low 40s is right number for BEV Design given all the risks, limitations. I'm loving mine.

    Does it make sense to novate lease these?
    Or is that novate fleece?

    For 3rd tax bracket. 10,000 kms annually?

    Serious question for a mate, I don't want her to, Dave Ramsay says never to lease. But with evs, are there some Fbt tax concessions?
