Since the launch of the first product of Geely Automobile's CMA platform product, Xingyue, its coupe SUV shape, powerful 2.0T+8AT power, four-wheel drive system, zero hundred acceleration of about 7 seconds, etc., have attracted the attention of young people, and the product has quickly been popular. Subsequently, Geely Automobile hit the iron while it was hot and launched a more economical and smoother Xingyue PHEV model, hoping to give more users a new travel experience. Although some people think that the acceleration ability of the 1.5T plug-in and mixing system equipped with the Hoshigoe PHEV is weaker than the 2.0T fuel version of the Hoshigoe, it is acceptable for most users in exchange for lower fuel consumption performance. So how much money can the Star EPHEV actually save, and what is the cost of the car? In response to this problem, next, we will investigate its insurance costs, maintenance costs and fuel costs.
Insurance cost survey
After our investigation, The Star Yue PHEV "2021 ePro Shine Star Pure Electric Endurance 56KM" has the highest popularity and the best sales, mainly because this model is a high-end model with a "pure electric endurance 56KM" version, compared with the low-end model, there are 2 more airbags, driver assistance systems, active safety, full-speed adaptive cruise, electric trunk, front seat heating, BOSE audio, in-car mood lights and a series of practical configurations, the price is only 13,000 yuan, very cost-effective. Compared with the two models of the "pure electric endurance 80KM" version, the main difference is that the pure electric mileage is less, but it is completely enough to cope with daily life. In addition, the top model has further improved in terms of technology configuration, but the price is close to 200,000 yuan, which is still a bit high. Therefore, we took the "2021 ePro Bright Star Pure Electric Endurance 56KM" as the survey model.
According to the results of the investigation of insurance costs, after the purchase of 1 million yuan of three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, the total premium of the first year was about 6600 yuan. If there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced after that, we calculate the total cost of the three-year insurance cost of Xingyue PHEV based on the standard premium of 20% off the second year and 30% off in the third year, which is about 16500 yuan, and the average one year is about 5500 yuan.
Maintenance cost survey
Hoshigoshi PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T insertion and mixing system, according to the maintenance manual, the first insurance needs to be carried out at 5000km, and the small maintenance price is 750 yuan. After that, the maintenance interval is 10,000km, the replacement cycle of the air conditioning filter and the air filter is 20,000km, the replacement cycle of the spark plug is 40,000km, the replacement cycle of the fuel filter is 30,000km, and the replacement cycle of brake fluid is 20,000km. The replacement price of each accessory ranges from 50-400 yuan.
We take the general family car three years to drive 60000km as the car cycle, calculate the maintenance cost, The Star More PHEV needs about 5900 yuan, the average year needs about 1967 yuan, and the small maintenance is 750 yuan. It can be seen that the Star More PHEV, whether it is a small maintenance price, or an accessory replacement cycle, and the Star More 2.0T fuel version is not much different, the total maintenance cost of the two cars is also relatively close, the gap is within 200 yuan, if you count the difference in the cost of man-hours around the world, you can completely ignore these gaps.
Oil cost survey
According to our investigation, the Actual Fuel Consumption of the Hoshikoshi PHEV is 6.8L/100 km in the state of not charging at all and driving in hybrid mode, which is much lower than the actual comprehensive fuel consumption of the Hoshigoe 2.0T fuel version model of 9.2L/100 km. We calculated the fuel cost of Xingyue PHEV at 7.1 yuan per liter of No. 92 gasoline, and the fuel cost for driving 20,000km was 9,656 yuan, and the fuel cost for 60,000km in three years was 28,968 yuan, an average of about 805 yuan per month. Compared with the Xingyue 2.0T fuel version, which needs 41952 yuan to drive 60,000km in three years and an average of 1165 yuan per month, The Xingyue PHEV will save 12984 yuan in three years, with an average monthly saving of 360 yuan. It can be seen that this hybrid system of The Star More PHEV is very obvious for the improvement of fuel economy.
epilogue:
Adding up the above maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel costs, we can calculate that the cost of the Car used by the Hoshigoku PHEV to drive 60,000km for three years is about 51,368 yuan, with an average of about 17,123 yuan a year and about 1,427 yuan per month. Overall, compared with the Xingyue 2.0T fuel version model, the Xingyue PHEV in the case of very close prices, maintenance, insurance costs are not too different, but the fuel cost has a clear advantage, the average monthly saving of 360 yuan, three years down can save nearly 13,000 yuan. The main reason is that in addition to the fact that the Hoshigoku PHEV blending system is indeed fuel efficient, the ability to use cheaper No. 92 gasoline is also a key. In addition, while saving fuel, the Star More PHEV does not lose too much power performance, coupled with the advantage of saving the purchase tax when buying a car, the actual calculation, the Star More PHEV seems to be more worth buying than the fuel version.
