Last Minute CX-50 jitters
Pulled the trigger on a 2026 CX-50 Premium about 5% below MSRP at 1.9%.
I test drove the hybrid and was a fan, I drove a CX-5 and liked it but I have a Taos (daughter) and Q4 (wife) so I don’t need the same car.
This one is for my son (16) and I to “share” for 15 months until he goes to college. Turned in my etron GT for the Q4. These are the two least expensive not trash cars to insure.
So I am happy with the deal—but I’m wondering if anyone thinks there’s value in the hybrid that justifies the $+5k on average? I’ll probably turn it in 16-24 months and at least upgrade if not change permanently. I do love my etron but I drove under 5K miles a year and can’t justify it. Since I use maybe a tank a month, the increased insurance cancels out the gas savings.
Thoughts?
