Who is better off with about 200,000 mid-size cars? The Japanese representatives of GAC Honda Accord, GAC Toyota Camry, Dongfeng Nissan Tianlai occupy three places, FAW-Volkswagen Maiten is also one of them. So, in these hot-selling mid-size cars, who will have a lower cost of late use? Today, let's take the Japanese representative GAC Honda Accord and the Ashkenazi representative FAW-Volkswagen Magotan as examples to take a look.
First, let's take a look at the Accord. Let's take the 2021 model as an example, in terms of power, it has 1.5T and 2.0L hybrid two kinds of power, the former's maximum power and torque are 143kW and 260N·m, the latter's system comprehensive power is 158kW, from the data point of view, both power performance is not bad, but itself is more fuel economy, 1.5T engine after matching CVT transmission, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6L/100km or 6.5L/100km, while the hybrid model is lower, Only 4.2L/100km.
In terms of maintenance, taking the 1.5T model as an example, according to the recommendations of the vehicle maintenance manual, the first insurance is to travel to 5000 kilometers or use for 3 months, free of charge, and then maintain it every 5000 kilometers or 6 months. For specific projects, the air conditioning and air filter elements are replaced every 20,000 kilometers, and the oil filter elements are replaced every 10,000 kilometers. After calculation, a small maintenance cost of the 1.5T model is about 447 yuan, and when it is 80,000 kilometers or 48 months, the maintenance cost is the highest due to the need to replace the brake oil and antifreeze, which is 1498 yuan, while the total maintenance cost for 60,000 kilometers or 36 months is 5405 yuan.
Let's look at Magotan again. Taking the 2020 model as an example, there are two kinds of power, 1.4T and 2.0T, of which the 2.0T engine also has high and low power adjustments, then the maximum power of the three power is 110kW, 137kW, 162kW, the maximum torque is 250N·m, 320N·m and 350N·m, which is richer in choice than the Accord, and some of the power is more powerful and the dynamic performance is better. In terms of fuel consumption, although the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC given by the three power types is 5.8, 6.3, 6.6L/100km, the actual fuel consumption will be slightly higher.
In terms of maintenance, we take the 2.0T low-power model that sells well, that is, the 330TSI model as an example, its first two maintenance is 5000 km or 6 months, the first insurance is free, and then every 10,000 km or 6 months. For specific projects, the air filter and spark plug are replaced every 20,000 kilometers, and the air conditioning filter is replaced every 30,000 kilometers. According to the calculation, its small maintenance cost is about 957 yuan, 60,000 kilometers due to the need to replace transmission oil, spark plugs, antifreeze, etc., maintenance costs reached the maximum, 3753 yuan, and 60,000 kilometers of total conventional maintenance costs of 10172 yuan.
Comparatively speaking, the late use cost of the Accord's fuel and maintenance is relatively lower, which is more suitable for family use, although the cost of the Magotan car is slightly higher, but the power performance is more outstanding. Who to choose, or it depends on your needs.
