I did the rarest of leases, 3yrs at 15,000 miles a year. Most especially for the Cadillac Lyriq were 2 year leases at 10,000 miles a year. Of the 1.2 million EVs being returned this year, pretty much all of them are low mile 2 year leases so you should be able to find a number of good low cost deals to buy on an EV. 4,813 were ZDX with the bulk on low mileage 2yr leases. There are 28,402 Lyriq's low mileage lease returns coming back this year. https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/cadillac/lyriq/cadillac-lyriq-sales/ Q1-2025-Kelley-Blue-Book-EV-Sales-Report-04-11-25.pdf Acura ZDX AWD Used 2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec for sale in Renton, WA 98057: Sport Utility Details - 776625051 - Autotrader Cadillac Lyriq RWD Used 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury for sale in Enumclaw, WA 98022: Sport Utility Details - 772214602 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport for sale in Seattle, WA 98133: Sport Utility Details - 775845739 - Autotrader Kia EV9 RWD No used yet, just new New 2026 Kia EV9 Light for sale in Renton, WA 98057: Sport Utility Details - 761201098 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Kia EV9 Wind for sale in Tacoma, WA 98409: Sport Utility Details - 772435775 - Autotrader Kia EV6 RWD Used 2023 Kia EV6 Light for sale in North Bend, WA 98045: Sport Utility Details - 760380155 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Kia EV6 Light for sale in Tacoma, WA 98409: Sport Utility Details - 772435774 - Autotrader -
