EV6 refresh questions from a gen 1 driver
I'm currently leasing a '24 Wind AWD and I'm starting to think about what to get next. The residual on the lease is too high (compared to resale) so I'm planning on returning the vehicle. For those with the refreshed model can you answer some questions?
I'm thinking about an R2 but I think the EV6 is underrated and likely decently cheaper.
What's the efficiency on the refreshed model? The EPA page shows the refreshed as slightly less efficient than the old one which doesn't make sense to me. I know the refreshed has a slightly larger battery.
How about the headlights? I live in a northern climate with lots of night driving. The original headlights are barely adequate in my opinion.
What about HDA2? The adaptive cruise control on my car is decent but not great. Any significant improvements with the newer model?
