2023 vs. 2025 BZ4X

RonW8ley · Feb 1, 2025

The '23 lease deals are really tempting, and the price difference is significant. I'm debating whether to wait for the '25 model. I'm aware of the charging cord updates, the parking assist , the power liftgate, the power driver;s seat, and the charging info updates. The free EVGo charging is a perk, but there aren't many stations nearby. My main concern is whether the '25 models have any unannounced improvements, particularly in reliability or build quality. Are the advertised updates the only changes, or is there more to it? I'm trying to determine if the added cost of the '25 is truly worthwhile. What are your thoughts?

Unless you really need the latest and greatest 2025 features, I'd say leasing the 2023 model is the way to go financially. I know new car fever can be strong, but maybe a test drive at your local dealership would help? I haven't driven it myself, so online reviews and news are probably your best bet, but honestly, it all comes down to what you like.

It sounds like the '25 model might have solid improvements, but the '23 lease deals are tempting with cost savings. If reliability and build quality are key, it’s worth waiting for more details on the '25.

It's a tough choice! Lease deals are great, and you know the '25 updates. But are those updates really important to you? And the free charging is only good if it's nearby. You're right about unannounced improvements car companies often make small changes you don't hear about. If you don't need the '25 upgrades and you care most about reliability, the '23 lease might be smart. Let someone else deal with the early depreciation, and any big problems should be covered by warranty. By the time your lease is up, you'll know more about the '25's reliability. But if you always want the newest stuff and the extra cost isn't a problem, waiting for the '25 might be worth it. It depends on what's most important to you and how much risk you're willing to take. The '23 lease is good if you're okay with potential first year issues. Waiting for the '25 is better if you want the latest tech and less risk.
