What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Audi AG and BMW have begun reducing prices across their luxury SUV models, including high-end electric vehicles and traditional flagships, according to reports. This price slashing is attributed to manufacturers responding to cooling demand and excess inventory in the market. For example, the 2026 BMW iX will start at $76,325, which is $12,100 less than the 2025 model currently available.
