In the eyes of many people, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, as a D-class sedan, can be described as the "ceiling" of the luxury executive car. As a million-dollar car, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has enough luxurious design, space and configuration, and the power performance is also very good, but at the same time it also has a lot of car maintenance costs. However, in the mercedes-benz product sequence, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class also has a more high-end branch, that is, the Maybach S-Class, and its starting price is as high as 1.468 million yuan, in exchange for a larger space, more luxurious interior and configuration than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Today we will take a look at what the cost of raising a Maybach S-class is.
Among the Maybach S-Class models on sale, the most concerned is the entry-level model 2021 S 480 4MATIC, today we take this car as a reference, to see after the purchase of a Maybach S-Class, what is the situation with the expenditure on fuel, maintenance and insurance costs?
Oil cost:
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Maybach S-class WLTC is 8.56L/100km, and according to our actual tests, the fuel consumption of this car is almost 14L/100km. According to the official statement, this car needs to add No. 95 gasoline, and the current price is 7.6 yuan / L. So if we calculate according to the annual driving of 20,000 kilometers, the fuel cost of this car is 21280 yuan a year, and the average monthly fuel cost is 1773 yuan. But for the owners of this car, most of them are willing to add more advanced No. 98 gasoline, the current price of No. 98 gasoline is 8.5 yuan / L, so if you add No. 98 gasoline to calculate, the car's fuel cost of driving 20,000 kilometers a year is 23,800 yuan, and the average monthly fuel cost is 1983 yuan. When calculating the final car maintenance cost, in order to get closer to the real situation, we chose to use the fuel cost of No. 98 gasoline.
Maintenance cost:
According to the maintenance requirements given by Mercedes-Benz officially, maybach S-class and ordinary version of Mercedes-Benz S-class, the maintenance cycle is 10,000 km maintenance once, the basic maintenance is to replace the oil and the machine filter, the cost is 1388 yuan, of which, the oil replacement material cost is 840 yuan, the working hours cost is 193 yuan, but we learned that many Maybach S-class owners will choose to spend about 500 yuan more on basic maintenance to upgrade the higher level of oil to maintain the car, so in the actual situation, The cost of basic maintenance is almost 1888 yuan. The replacement cycle of spark plugs, air conditioning filters, air filters and brake oils is 20,000 km. The material cost of these consumables is 2515 yuan, and the working hours cost is almost 790 yuan. Therefore, the overall calculation is calculated, and the maintenance cost is 5193 yuan when maintaining the multiple mileage of 20,000 kilometers. In addition, it should be noted that at 60,000 kilometers, this car needs to replace the transmission oil, the cost is 3180 yuan, of which the working hour costs 556 yuan.
Assuming a three-year drive of 60,000 kilometers, the total cost of three-year maintenance of the Maybach S-class is 24,423 yuan, and the average one-year maintenance cost is 8,141 yuan. If you do not choose to upgrade the oil, the annual maintenance cost is 7141 yuan, but for the owner of the Maybach S-class, it is still a very worthwhile thing to spend 1000 yuan more to make the car get better maintenance.
Insurance Costs:
Finally, let's take a look at the situation of Maybach S-class insurance costs, as a 3.0T displacement model, Maybach S-class car and ship use tax is 1800 yuan, insurance this piece as a luxury car close to 1.5 million yuan, we buy a complete range of commercial insurance including 5 million three liabilities, car damage insurance, car personnel liability insurance and other insurance types, and then add compulsory insurance, the first year and other insurance costs almost 50,000 yuan. If we call insurance according to three years without accidents, after calculating the insurance company's declining discount year by year, the insurance cost of the second year is almost about 45,000 yuan, and the third year needs about 40,000 yuan, comprehensive calculation, the total insurance cost required for this car for three years is about 1,350 million yuan, the average annual insurance cost is about 45,000 yuan, plus the car and ship use tax is about 46,800 yuan.
summary:
By adding up the cost of fuel, maintenance and insurance, we conclude that without considering various soft expenses, the cost of a Maybach S-class car for one year is about 77741 yuan, and the average monthly car maintenance cost is almost 6478 yuan. Such an expense is to add 98 gasoline, use higher specifications of maintenance and buy the most comprehensive insurance data, compared to Mercedes-Benz's "starting price" for this car is almost 1500 yuan higher, but for the owners of this car, they are indeed more willing to pay more than 1500 yuan per month to get a better car experience.
