My lease on my 2021 U5 Premium is about to expire. The new price for the car has dropped from CHF 42,000.00 to approximately CHF 31,000.00 (the Euro-CHF exchange rate is practically 1:1).
Now I'm faced with the question of what to do next: take over the car or return it? Generally, I'm very happy with the U5 and, apart from the battery issue and the door handles, I haven't had any problems with it in recent years.
Does switching to the new model offer any advantages other than 3-phase charging? Since I charge at home, the slow charging speed has never been a problem for me.
I am grateful for your experiences.
Greetings, Luke

that's a difficult question to answer. The problem is the manufacturer which seems to be inoperable. This means no support. Furthermore the availability of spare parts ist not guaranteed and i had to order some parts from China marketplaces. I decided to keep my U5 and live with the risks. Butvhey, its a great car.
