Been searching for my first EV and I’m down to an Audi Q4 e-tron or a Volvo XC40. I don’t make a lot of money so I’m going to have to lease instead of buy (Q4 leases about 10% cheaper than the XC40).
I’ve test driven and like both of them a lot - maybe leaning towards the Volvo just for comfort level. I like the Lightning too but dealers on Ohio won’t budge and they don’t lease well.
Anyone have any feedback on the XC40 or Q4? Pros or cons you can mention from owning one of these?
I own an ID.3, smaller than what you’re after, so I’d suggest looking at an ID.4 or ID.5 (if you have the sedan where you live). They’re solid, reliable and the software is up to snuff now. My VW has never let me down in the last 3 years (gets paid-off next year - woohoo!).
The one thing - the cars you’re mentioning are not known for their range, unless you go for the largest batteries. They’re better than the Jaguar iPace, for example, but they’re not leaders in the range game…just big square boxes, and big square boxes suffer more range loss at high speeds where wind resistance is greater.
How much space do you need? Kids and carriages, or just for the looks of it?
