The choice of joint venture B-class car users has always had higher requirements for vehicle power, comfort, fuel consumption and configuration, and hopes that the product can have strong comprehensive strength. However, due to the large size and heavier mass of B-class cars, it was difficult to take into account both power and fuel consumption in the past, but with the continuous deepening of hybrid technology in recent years, the strength of some joint venture B-class cars has been further strengthened, and toyota Asian dragon is the most representative.
As a B-class car under FAW Toyota, Toyota Asia Dragon has a strong product strength, which has a rich power combination to meet the needs of most users, especially for high-end users, Toyota Asia Dragon Dual Engine Edition is a good choice, taking into account the power and fuel consumption at the same time, but also to enhance the driving texture of the vehicle. So how does its fuel consumption perform? How different is the cost of the car compared to the fuel version? Next, we will conduct a survey of it, mainly in the three aspects of maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel costs.
Insurance cost survey
According to our survey, Toyota Asia Dragon Dual Engine "2019 Dual Engine 2.5L XLE Premium Edition National VI" has the best sales. The main reason is that this model, as a dual-engine version of the medium-equipped model, has more parallel assist, front-and-rear reversing radar, 360-degree panoramic image, reversing side warning, panoramic sunroof, seat heating, interior mood lights and other practical configurations than low-end vehicles, and the price is only 18,000 yuan, which is more cost-effective. Compared with high-end models, the configuration of the middle car is only less steering wheel heating/memory, front seat ventilation, more rear seat functions, navigation, rear multimedia and other configurations, which is not much help for daily cars, of course, more importantly, the difference of 32,000 yuan is obviously not cost-effective. Therefore, we have taken the "2019 Twin Engine 2.5L XLE Premium Edition National VI" as the survey model.
According to the results of the investigation of insurance costs, after asia dragon double engine purchased 1 million three liability, car damage insurance, and compulsory traffic insurance, the first year premium was about 8750 yuan. If there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced after that, we calculate based on the standard premium of 20% off in the second year and 30% off in the third year, the cost of the three-year insurance fee of Asia Dragon Double Engine is about 21875 yuan, an average of about 7292 yuan per year.
Maintenance cost survey
There is not much difference between the Asian Dragon Double Engine and the fuel version in terms of maintenance price and maintenance cycle, the first warranty time is 10,000km or 6 months (whichever comes first), the re-maintenance interval is 10,000km or 6 months, and the small maintenance price is 617 yuan.
The replacement cycle of air filter, fuel filter and brake fluid is 40,000km, and the price is 139 yuan, 501 yuan and 319 yuan respectively; the replacement cycle of air conditioning filter element is 20,000km, the price is 133 yuan; the replacement cycle of transmission oil and spark plug is 60,000km, and the price is 502 yuan and 650 yuan, respectively.
It is worth mentioning that at present, Toyota Asia Dragon models have 4 years and 8 free basic maintenance activities, that is to say, small maintenance within 60,000km can be free, which can save more than 3,700 yuan. Therefore, we take the general family car driving 60,000km for three years as the car cycle, calculate the maintenance cost of the Asian Dragon Double Engine, which actually only needs 2510 yuan, an average of 837 yuan per year. This maintenance price is almost equivalent to the maintenance cost of some pure trams, which is significantly lower than that of the same level of joint venture B-class cars.
Oil cost survey
The Asian Dragon Twin Engine is equipped with a power combination of 2.5L engine + hybrid system, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 4.3L/100 km. According to our survey, the actual average fuel consumption of users is 5.4L/100 km. We calculate the oil cost of Asia Dragon Double Engine based on the current No. 92 gasoline of 7.1 yuan per liter, and the three-year driving of 60,000km is 23,004 yuan, the average annual is 7668 yuan, and the average monthly is 639 yuan. Compared with the 2.5L fuel version that needs 35,478 yuan to drive 60,000km, it can save 12,474 yuan in three years, and the average can save 347 yuan per month. Overall, the Oil Fee of Asia Dragon Double Engine performed quite well, and the monthly cost of 639 yuan was more fuel-efficient than the joint venture small car Honda Fit.
epilogue:
We add up the above maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel costs, and we can calculate that the cost of the Toyota Asia Dragon Double Engine driving 60,000km in three years is 47,389 yuan, an average of about 15,796 yuan a year, and about 1,316 yuan per month. It can be seen that the Asian Dragon Double Engine maintenance and fuel performance have surprises, and from the price point of view alone, it is completely the level of small cars. The total cost of the car, compared with the Asian Dragon 2.5L fuel version, the total cost of the Asian Dragon Double Engine in three years can save nearly 10,000 yuan, which is already quite good. Of course, if you choose the Asian Dragon Double Engine in order to save money, you don't have to, because compared to the extra money spent when buying a car, it may take five or six years to save it, but if you want to have a better acceleration experience and driving texture, then the Asian Dragon Double Engine will be a good choice.
