The aggressive pricing makes it tempting, $10k premium over a Telluride. That would barely cover the premium for a hybrid or plug-in hybrid let alone a full battery electric vehicle. I suspect the Light RWD is just there for compliance pricing, the extra $3,000 for the Wind RWD is absolutely worth it for the bigger battery and battery saving heat pump, plus heated steering wheel. Then $2,000 more for AWD and 5,000 lb tow capacity.

$10K premium over a Telluride but then $5K rebate from the Federal gvmt and whatever you can get from the province if anything. Here, this is actually less expensive than a Telluride as we get $12K total subsidies.
