In my eyes, rather than saying that mercedes-benz GLA is a compact SUV, it is more of a crossover, compared to the traditional SUV-shaped Mercedes-Benz GLB, Mercedes-Benz GLA looks young and sporty, and it is more pleasing to young consumers. But the fly in the ointment is that Mercedes-Benz GLA only has a displacement of 1.3T, and the power performance of 136 horsepower also makes it exist only as a family "grocery car", which is helpless for consumers who "love its appearance but are angry with its power", if you still want to drive it to run the track "passion", it is really "difficult to have a strong car". However, fortunately, Mercedes-Benz launched the performance version of Mercedes-Benz GLA, Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG, so that consumers who like the appearance of Mercedes-Benz GLA and want to "fierce enough" power performance "as long as the money is in place, this matter can be two complete" So today we will look at the purchase of a GLA AMG, what is the need to bear the cost of car maintenance?
At present, the main sales model of Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG is 2022 AMG GLA 45 4MATIC, today we will take a look at its fuel costs, maintenance costs and insurance costs are what is the situation?
Oil cost:
Although Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG belongs to a performance car, but for ordinary people, after buying it, there will not be too many opportunities to drive fiercely, if the annual mileage of the car is 20,000 kilometers, then there can be 100 kilometers in the track of fierce driving is more than a case, so we still calculate the fuel cost according to the city conditions.
Through our test, Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG in the city conditions of the actual fuel consumption is almost 13L / 100km, this car is the need to add No. 95 gasoline, according to the current oil price of 7.6 yuan / L to calculate, this car a year to travel 20,000 kilometers of fuel costs of 19760 yuan.
Maintenance cost:
Mercedes-Benz GlA AMG maintenance cycle and most Mercedes-Benz cars, are 10,000 km maintenance once, divided into A maintenance and B maintenance alternately, as an AMG series of models, it is necessary to add AMG oil, so compared to the same displacement of ordinary Mercedes-Benz cars to be more expensive, only need to replace the oil and filter A maintenance is 1819 yuan, B maintenance In addition to A maintenance items, you also need to replace the air filter, the cost is 2701 yuan. Other consumables that need to be replaced are: spark plugs, brake oil and air conditioning filters need to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, with a total cost of 2,750 yuan, and 60,000 kilometers need to spend 3,195 yuan to replace transmission oil.
So if we calculate the maintenance cost according to the three-year driving of 60,000 kilometers, by adding up the six maintenance costs, we conclude that the total maintenance cost of the car for three years is 25,005 yuan, and the average annual cost is 8335 yuan to do maintenance.
Insurance Costs:
Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG's vehicle and vessel use tax is 420 yuan, insurance this piece, as a performance car priced at nearly 500,000 yuan, we are calculated according to the purchase of 1.5 million three liabilities, car damage insurance, traffic insurance and 30,000 car driver and passenger liability insurance, a total of 12581 yuan. If we assume that there has been no accident for three years, it is called insurance, after calculating the 20% discount of the insurance company in the second year and the 30% discount of the third year, the total insurance cost required by Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG for three years is 31452 yuan, and the average annual insurance cost is 10484 yuan, plus the car and ship use tax is 1904 yuan.
summary:
By adding up fuel, maintenance and insurance costs, without calculating other soft expenses, mercedes-Benz GLA AMG needs almost 38999 yuan a year to maintain a car, and the average monthly car maintenance cost is 3249 yuan, which is almost the same as the cost of car maintenance for a medium and large SUV. Of course, the result of our calculation may still be an ideal state, if you will have a lot of intense driving, or have more opportunities to get off the track/run the mountain, you may need to spend more money on this car.
