chevy recently made the equinox ev much cheaper to lease

My family recently bought a 2024 Honda Prologue on a lease deal that brought our monthly payments down to well below $300, but General Motors recently made the related Chevrolet Equinox EV an even better deal than that. The automaker’s new lease incentives for the vehicle make it $239 per month for a 24-month lease, though there’s still a significant down payment due at signing.

The lease comes with $3,029 down and a 10,000-mile annual limit, but if you can live with those things, Chevy will lease you an Equinox EV for less than it costs to lease a gas-powered model.

Before you get too excited, it’s good to point out that we’re talking about the base—for now—2LT trim, which comes with front-wheel drive and a few of the model’s most compelling options. It does get 315 miles of range, topping the Equinox EV line, and it can fast charge, adding around 70 miles of range in ten minutes.

This deal might be about as good as it gets for now, as we don’t currently have the $30,000 EV we were initially promised. The 2LT starts at $43,295 before any options, such as the $2,700 Active Safety Package 3, which brings Super Cruise and parking assistance. Chevy also offers a $1,350 Lifestyle Package that includes a cargo carrier, roof rails, and more.

You said "bought a 2024 Honda Prologue on a lease deal...". If you don't own it, that's not buying. You should say, "leased a 2024 Honda Prologue on a deal...". I don't mean to be pedantic, but the lines between renting and buying need to be clearly drawn for the benefit of consumers. Blurring those lines benefits the landlords.

  Self-reply in lieu of website code that allows paragraph separation: But as for the lease deal, both the Prologue deal you got and the (...what is this thing called? Uh.... oh yeah, there it is in the Chrome address bar...) Equinox deal seem pretty affordable. For those who don't want to own a car long-term, getting around for about $450/month (including down payment, taxes, fees, and electricity) is a decent deal.

  Agree, so we leased it. It was a purely financial decision because of the monthly payment and the fact that our XC90 T6 only got like 18 mpg in the city most of the time. My wife commutes <5 miles per day and she's the primary driver, so it makes perfect sense. Our charger is being installed next week, so there will be no more fighting people in my small town for the one 50kW charger.

  If your commute is less than 5 miles a day then how was the 18 MPG much of an issue? Seems like a really long ROI if that was your rationale.

  If the use case is under 5 miles a day, why did you trade/replace a running Volvo (unless it perhaps it wasn't)?

  Charging at home will be a nice benefit! And if you do really like the Prologue, perhaps you could buy it out at least end.

so, Mike, you're one of those who thinks that's perfectly reasonable. My "undies" aren't "bunched", despite your fantasies; I simply put down facts alongside his, facts that add context, facts that show this to be a silly headline, apparently facts you don't like. You live a fascinating life, where only some people should have the right to put down facts while others should be restricted from that. Absolutely fascinating.

  Mikey doesn’t like facts. He likes “facts”.
