Yep, annoy your neighbours by taking up both sides of your new build’s shared drive. Sacrifice your salary so you can complain about being skint and cost of nursery fees which should be funded by the tax payer, and of course your empty fridge. Still you have a 7kw charger thrown in with the cost of stamp duty, carpets and a fake lawn so life’s good.

What's wrong with a fake lawn? Bloody marvellous invention!!

this is how I'd expect a new Kia to look like

Why?

[SDK]

i much prefer this interior over the current e-Tron Q8.

I could be tempted out my iX for my next car.

Still too expensive.


Just what the market needs, another £50k+ SUV. Esp with BIK rates due to start increasing, quite possibly by more than 1% when labour get in so can't see these being too popular. Plus despite decent range people will just think it'll be a problem to charge and either get a tesla or stick with ICE.

Hopefully start with a tax on weight, £1 per kilo over 1000kg

Bitter much
My nursery fees finished and now those funds go to my car. My fridge is plenty full too !

[Glenn63]

I think that actually looks quite good, I still don’t want it though.

[Bispoto]

Can anyone explain to me why you would buy this over the Porsche? Identical platform, similar range and similar price.

Query; what EV would you rather have on your drive an Audi or a Porsche?

PS for what it is worth I prefer the E tron to the Taycan.

Sexier looking car imho.

Hey, I’m a Gen-xer, approaching retirement and sitting on a pile of property. I also have a final salary pension, thanks in advance for paying for my retirement

Yes you can admire your own smugness while you've got time on your hands.

I know its the aspirational SQ model but who outside of somebody running a company (powerfully built obvs) with consequent tax perks/scams is ever going to splurge 93 big ones on a car which will be running obsolete battery tech at the end of its finance cycle?

So in your mind the car will be useless after 3 years, and not a nicely depreciated EV on the used market with many years of warranty and useful life left in it? Umkay.

I presume you also regard ICE cars that’ll be running obsolete emissions gear at the end of its finance cycle as similarly useless?

The lack of understanding on how anything associated with EV’s works is really rather alarming.

Yes, spend my days enjoying leisure and knowing the triple lock will protect me. Brilliant.

For an electric car, it looks pretty good.

Flying off the shelves through salary sacrifice deals.

Not sure I know many people complaining about being skint because they SS. Hell, SS and EV and you'll likely net out about the same as you would running an ice each month - I'd be better off getting shot of my xc90 for an SS EV with what I'd save on fuel.

I wouldn't mind a shared drive either. Although if I knock a few walls down then that may also be possible.

[FlukePlay]

Whatever happened to self driving cars?

I imagined that's where all EVs were heading but none of these big, shiny and expensive EVs seem to have this feature. Has it suddenly died?

Not another expensive electric SUV, at what point does the market become over saturated with them?!!.

That point has already started. ex company leases now flooding the 2nd hand market.

At least it looks better than the BMW iX though...

Almost nobody will buy this privately. But there are a surprising number of people that can either get a company car, or twiddle the tax through their own limited company.

Edited by ChrisCh86 on Monday 18th March 18:37

But would I be right in saying that at the end of year 4 in the ‘company car’ scheme, they will be de-fleeted and dumped onto the marketplace for private buyers?
At which point the huge depreciation will bite, possibly fuelled by fear of the cost to repair any battery or associated issues?
That’s me asking the question, not being arguementative..
