Some time ago, the listing of Dongfeng Honda's eleventh generation Civic has attracted a lot of attention. The new Civic has changed its previous radical sports style in terms of design and embarked on a calm home style. The overall body size has become longer and wider, and the height has decreased, allowing for more space in the car. The adjustment of the center console and air conditioning outlet in the car has also improved many household attributes. These changes are exactly what Honda Civic wants to meet the needs of young people to start a family. So today we will analyze from the aspect of car cost, to see if the eleventh generation of Civic is an economical and practical family scooter, and what is the difference between the old Civic in terms of car maintenance costs?
At present, the eleventh generation Civic has two power options, 180TURBO and 240TURBO, both equipped with 1.5T engines. Although the 180TURBO is not dominant in power performance, it is good that the price is cheap, it belongs to the entry-level model, and the degree of configuration is not low, as an urban road scooter is very suitable, so it has also attracted the attention of many consumers. The old Civic 180TURBO model uses a 1.0T engine. So let's compare and analyze the difference between the maintenance cost of the new and old Civic 180TURBO models?
Of the two models on sale of the 11th-generation Civic 180TURBO, the high-end model is priced at a price of 7,000 yuan, not only has a leather steering wheel and seats, but also is equipped with satellite navigation, car networking and voice control and other scientific and technological configurations. Although it is an entry-level model of the new Civic, it is not much worse than the middle match in terms of driving comfort and intelligent experience, and it is more cost-effective than the low-end model. Therefore, we chose the "2022 180TURBO CVT Shangqing Edition" with a guide price of 136,900 yuan. In the old Civic, we selected the "2019 CVT Shangdong Edition National VI" with a guiding price of 129,900 yuan to calculate the difference between the two cars in terms of insurance costs, maintenance costs and fuel costs.
Insurance costs
In terms of insurance costs, after the purchase of vehicle and vessel tax and compulsory insurance, the price is 420 yuan and 950 yuan respectively, and it is also necessary to purchase commercial insurance, which is covered by 1 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and special insurance without deductibles, and the price is about 4294 yuan. Then calculate that the insurance cost required for the first year of Honda Civic's "2022 180TURBO CVT Shangqing Edition" is almost 5674 yuan.
We take the three-year cycle, assuming that the vehicle has not had an accident in these three years, and then the premium will be further reduced, then in fact, the insurance cost required for the new Civic 1.5T low power for three years is about 13390 yuan, and the average annual premium is 4464 yuan, which is a decent price in the field of joint venture A-class cars. The average annual insurance cost of the old Civic 1.0T is 4383 yuan, which is 81 yuan cheaper than the 1.5T low power.

In addition, the replacement cycle on accessories and other items is that the oil is replaced every 5,000 kilometers, and the cost is 338 yuan. The machine filter is replaced every 10,000 kilometers, and the cost is 119 yuan. The replacement cycle of air filter and air conditioning filter is 20,000 kilometers, and the cost is 201 yuan. Brake fluid needs to be replaced every 30,000 kilometers, and the cost is 210 yuan. The replacement of transmission oil was carried out at 40,000 kilometers and cost 528 yuan.
The conventional small maintenance cost of replacing the oil machine filter is 457 yuan, the maintenance cost of replacing the air filter air conditioning filter is about 658 yuan, and the large maintenance also needs to replace the transmission oil, the cost is higher, almost 1186 yuan.
According to the calculation of 60,000 kilometers driven by the family car in three years, the maintenance cost of the Civic 1.5T low-power driving of 60,000 kilometers is about 5985 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost is almost 1995 yuan, which is not very expensive compared to the maintenance cost of the same level of models. The average annual maintenance cost of the old Civic 1.0T is 1891 yuan, which is 104 yuan cheaper than the 1.5T low power.
Fuel costs
Honda Civic "2022 180TURBO CVT Shangqing Edition" NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/km, according to the owner's feedback information, in fact, civic comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.4L/km, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's fuel consumption performance is some gap, it is obvious that this and the car environment has a lot to do. The Civic needs to add No. 92 gasoline, and the current price is 7.1 yuan / L.
In terms of kilometers, we drive 20,000 kilometers per year for reference, through the number of kilometers * fuel consumption per kilometer * oil price, we can conclude that civic a year's fuel cost is about 10508 yuan, an average of 876 yuan per month, not particularly expensive. The old Civic 1.0T has an average annual fuel cost of about 10792 yuan, which is 284 yuan more expensive than the new model.
