My lease is ending and I'm going to turn it back in. I have been thrilled with mine, no issues at all other than software updates. Have a solid dealer that gets them knocked out pretty quickly. Great do it all car. It is my daily driver, drag strip car, taken trips in it. It just does everything well. Only complaint is the headlights are atrocious.
Seriously considered buying it out, but I'm not paying the $38.5 residual. Also, hesitant putting more money in technology that is a few years old. The one thing that could have swung me was if Kia offered performance boost like Tesla. I know there is more in this car and would have been fine with very restrictive parameters, like performance boost only available above 90% state of charge.
Already grabbed the replacement, 2025 Audi S e-tron GT. First dragy on an asphalt road was 10.87@128.40. The biggest selling point for me was Audi/VW/Porsche can be tuned. I tuned mine and ran 9.98@142.18. Took it to the drag strip and ran 9.786@142.96.
Will be selling the wheels and drag radials from the Kia. Keep an eye on the for sale forum.
