Since I know some folks will be debating their next steps whether to buy our their lease or trying to decide between trim options, wanted to give some extra data points to help.

We decided to buy out our 2 year lease for a 2024 AWD Wind w/ tech package. I hemmed and hawed quite a bit between other EV6 trims and years, the EV3, other makes (subaru, cadillac, audi, volvo), but in the end, decided to just keep it simple and buy ours out.

We had a $32,277 residual, and thankfully could take advantage of the 'Keep Your Kia' program for an additional $3800 off, for a 28477 price tag.

14,000 miles on the car, and we barely did any fast charging, couldn't find any comps that were either a bit more for similar mileage.

Things that helped us decide to keep it:

1. Solid price compared to local (and reasonable) comparision
2. keeping it simple
3. low mileage
4. AWD and tech pacakge had almost all the upgrades a GT-line would have

Things that was on my wishlist:

1. the tech refresh of the 25'

2. AWD verus RWD

3. slightly different color

Hope this helps, and happy to answer any questions!

Hello!

I'm in the US and excited to see the EV3 come to us soon.

I'm currently leasing a 2024 EV6 Wind awd, and was wondering if anyone has experience going from an EV6 to an EV3.

Here's what I know:

-going from 800v to 400v

-less zoom zoom

-about similar cargo space

-similar tech

-lower cost/lease

-similar range (I'm thinking the GT line this time, but don't know all the trim options yet)

Anything else I should consider?

Mich appreciated!
