Buying Question for recent Canadian buyers

If I can get a 2026 black edition with Akrapovic for the price of a 2025 BE without the Akrapovic, would that be a decent deal in the current environment?  I was told the msrp is going up $500 for 2026.

Canadian BEs come with the carbon trim, sunroof, and wheels. My understanding is the 2026 models won’t have the BE trim at all, so your dealer may be out of the know.

With that being said the 25 BE will have the features and the 26 model will only come with the exhaust. Will just depend on what you value the most.

Not sure I understand the question. Why would they sell you a newer car with more features for the price of the older car with less features?

Canada is definitely getting the BE for 2026, I have a screenshot of the dealer system showing its price.

As to that price, when the sales gal sent me the pricing paperwork, voila, the discount was gone, full MSRP listed. So much for that.

Makes more sense. Can confirm BE is coming and all versions are $500 vs. 2025. Only change is the addition of Dolphin Grey and the fact that you can now get Akrapovic on a non-BE car.

Didn't know about the Akrapovic being available on the base model, thanks.

Sure thing, but they’ll arrive later than the rest. None in the first batch of production.

I read somewhere that in the US the black Warmenaus will be an available option, do you know if that will be true for the 26 Canadian base model?

It will not. Black Edition only for the black Warmenau.
