Bottom Line — Salesperson Pitch
"Comparing the PHEV Premium Sport and the PHEV Premium Plus: the PHEV Premium Plus is $3,200 more than the PHEV Premium Sport. You get 360° camera, reverse auto braking, front cross-traffic braking, wheels, roof rails, and side mirrors. On a 60-month loan, that's around 53 bucks per month difference — worth walking the customer through both."
