I'm a Mechanic: 6 Electric Vehicles I Would Buy and Why They Are Worth It
Thinking about buying an electric vehicle (EV)? They're a good option if you want to save money on gas and maintenance and reduce your carbon footprint, but not all EVs are built the same. Be Aware: Find Out: According to car experts, some models stand out for their reliability, performance and long-term value. To help narrow down your search, here are EVs they recommend and why they're worth a closer look. And while you're on the hunt for an electric, make sure you avoid these rides. Tesla Model 3 MSRP: $44,130 to $56,630 'Tesla tops the list for me. Model 3 is the best of them all. They are futuristic styled. They have all the features one would want in a vehicle, especially in the electronics aspect. They have good battery life and battery distance,' Chris Pyle, auto expert with JustAnswer, the expert on-demand platform, wrote in an email. It also retains its value as long as you trade them in before the battery starts to wear out, he noted. But that could take years. According to Insurify, the average lifespan of a Tesla battery is between $300,000 to $500,000 miles, or 15 to 20 years of use. 'Tesla's battery system is unique, and in many ways, it's superior to what other brands offer,' added Melanie Musson, an auto expert with Its placement and weight is another pro, Musson pointed out, which can help the Model 3 maintain balance on the road and handle corners well. Trending Now: Lucid Air MSRP: $71,400 to $250,500 According to Pyle, the Lucid Air, a luxury sedan that first launched in the 2022 model year, is often seen at the top of lists. Its recent launch and price also mean it's a rarity on the road. Pyle has never seen or talked to anyone who's driven one, but he said it looks great. 'The distance to empty is at the higher range. Downfall though, is that the car is very expensive and when it breaks, finding a shop near you will be next to impossible, but EVs rarely go to the shop,' he wrote. Ford F-150 Lightning MSRP: $56,975 to $87,190 Want something tough but environmentally friendly? Musson recommends the Ford F-150 Lightning. 'Drivers who are looking for something that can handle off-road situations praise the Lightning for its toughness,' Musson wrote. It's powerful yet quiet, and comes with top-of-the-line features. 'It's a good mix of rugged traditional truck capabilities and luxurious modern electric mechanics,' Musson added. 'The Lightning holds its value well, which is not something many EVs have been able to do.' Hyundai Ioniq 6, Kia EV4 and Kia Niro EV Ioniq 6 MSRP: $39,095 and $52,345 Kia EV4 MSRP: $37,000 to $50,000 Kia Niro EV MSRP: $40,0995 and $45,523 When it comes to budget-friendly EVs with solid range and reliability, Hyundai and Kia are hard to ignore. 'Although I think the Ioniq is ugly, Kia and Hyundai are putting in the work to make affordable vehicles that have what you need, most of what you want and the longevity and low repair costs you expect,' Pyle claimed. He also pointed out that both brands choose to focus on longevity, low repair costs and repeat customers rather than a wow moment with sleek designs.

Toyota Drops Affordable 2025 Highlander Lease Deal For August
The Toyota Highlander is one of the original three-row SUVs, having originally debuted over 25 years ago. Fast forward to today, and its good cargo space, relative affordability, and inoffensive styling remind you why it's living a long, successful life. For August, Toyota is heating up the lease deal on the Toyota Highlander. In select markets, including the greater New York metro, you can take one home for as little as $499 per month. The lease term is 36 months and includes 12,000 annual miles, which means you could even save a little bit more if you can make do with 10,0000 per year. Toyota also includes the first two years or 25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance via ToyotaCare for $3,999 due at signing. It's worth noting that, although this lease price is specifically advertised in the New York region, there are very similar deals available elsewhere. Those in the Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, etc.) can score a similar $519 per month payment with $2,999 due at signing, and California markets are advertised at $509 per month. Finally, Southeast coastal markets including Orlando, Tampa, and Miami will see an even lower payment - $449 per month - but will need $4,448 down. Of course, if you would rather not part with several thousand dollars at your lease's inception, you could also explore zero down options. By dividing the down payment evenly across 36 months, we can get a good idea of what a Toyota Highlander lease looks like without putting any money down. Based on our original lease deal ($499 per month with $3,999 down), that raises the new payment to $610 per month. Remember, advertised lease rates don't include local taxes, fees, or other charges, so your payment might be higher. Additionally, this isn't an official $0 down payment - just an estimate. We advise you to explore Toyota's website and enter your zip code to find the most accurate and localized Toyota Highlander deals and incentives. The Toyota Highlander is a legacy entrant in the fiercely competitive arena that is the mid-size SUV segment, and it wouldn't have made it this long without being seriously worthwhile. The standard engine is adequately powerful, delivering 265 horsepower to the front wheels unless optioned with available all-wheel drive. It beats out rivals like the Mazda CX-90 when it comes to rear seat room, and the interior features good quality materials that, while perhaps not best in class, will hold up well against daily wear and tear. A nice 84.3 cubic feet of total cargo space beats out rivals from Hyundai like the Santa Fe, too. In the interest of full disclosure, we will say that some rivals do some things better than the Highlander. For example, the Pilot has more cargo space and a tougher look; the CX-90 drives a little better; and the Telluride is on paper a better value. But the Toyota Highlander has amazing fundamentals and does everything a good mid-size SUV should do really well. Even if it doesn't particularly excel in one area or another. Being able to snag one under $500 per month seems like something seriously worth considering if you're in the market. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Lexus Unveils Surprise Supercar Concept At The Quail
It's edgy and appears to employ styling elements from Ferrari, Jaguar, and, maybe even Porsche. Not originally expected to appear at the California event, could this surprise new Sport Concept be a Lexus morphing into a new LC or maybe even a second-generation LFA? From the looks of this sleek coupe, that was just unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, this new concept appears to be an evolution of the Electrified Sport Concept that Lexus first revealed in 2021. Why do we say 'appears to be?' Simply because Lexus was giving out very little background information on this car. So we will have to delve into what Toyota's luxury brand has been tempting us with of late to get an idea of where this concept may go. Choosing to follow the same launch protocol as many of its rivals, Lexus selected America's prestigious The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering which is an integral part of the now famous Monterey Car Week held in Carmel, California. The new Lexus Sport Concept will employ an EV powertrain…probably The new Lexus Sport Concept found itself alongside rare classic cars like a Ferrari F50 GT1 and a Shelby Mustang GT350, and strategic reveals of new concepts and production models from Corvette, Aston Martin, Bentley, Lamborghini, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Porsche, as well as Ruf, Singer and Bugatti. Occupied by some of the best looking kinetic art on the planet, Monterey Car Week is the perfect setting for a new car reveal, and Lexus has taken the opportunity to unveil its new Sport Concept at The Quail. The sporty, low-slung, wide-bodied coupe reminds us of the Electrified Sport Concept that Lexus first teased in 2021, but employs a more sophisticated design that appears ready for production. With Lexus PR types remaining tight-lipped about specs, the Sport Concept's technical details are still under wraps. We do know that the brand is currently working on another supercar called the LFR, which according to Car and Driver, is expected to feature a twin-turbocharged hybrid V-8 powertrain. So with an internal combustion engine set to occupy that the LFR's engine bay, we suspect that the Sport Concept will employ an all-electric powertrain. When Lexus first unveiled its Electrified Sport Concept in 2021, the brand suggested a two-second plus 0-60mph sprint time and around 430 miles of range thanks to new solid-state batteries. Japan is long overdue for an electric supercar, so perhaps this Sport Concept could break the mold.
