Affected by the development of the new energy vehicle market, almost all major domestic manufacturers have launched their own hot-selling SUV derivative new energy models, although there are some products with low technical content, or even direct oil to electricity, but it has to be said that this can indeed improve the fuel consumption and driving quality of the vehicle in a short period of time, and in this regard, Roewe RX5 new energy has a certain representative.
As a Roewe brand SUV model, the earlier launch of the plug-in hybrid SUV, Roewe RX5 new energy as early as 2017 launched the market, although the market demand was small at that time, the development of new energy is only in the initial stage, but the advantages of this car fuel saving have been recognized by some consumers.

Next, we will conduct a survey on the insurance cost, maintenance cost and fuel cost of Roewe RX5 new energy.
Insurance cost survey
2021 Roewe RX5 new energy price of 152,800 yuan, after our investigation, "2021 ePLUS National Tide Ronglin Luxury Edition" pay more attention to people. The main reason is that this car is 10,000 yuan cheaper than the high-end model, and the configuration is less driver assistance functions, active safety, seat heating, etc., the increment is not too much, and more importantly, the extra driver assistance system function is not comprehensive, and it is not very helpful for daily use of the car. Therefore, for users, the "2021 ePLUS National Tide Ronglin Deluxe Edition" is more cost-effective, and we will investigate with this model.
According to the results of the investigation of insurance costs, after the introduction of new energy vehicle captive insurance, the insurance cost of Roewe RX5 new energy has hardly changed, the main reason is that in addition to the small amount of ownership, the low risk rate and failure rate of vehicles are also a key.

In the later use of the process if no accident occurs, the premium will be further reduced, to the standard premium of the second year 20% off, the third year of the 30% off, Roewe RX5 new energy three-year insurance cost of the total cost of about 14,000 yuan, an average of about 4667 yuan per year.
Maintenance cost survey
Roewe RX5 new energy uses a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, the engine model is the same as the Roewe RX5 fuel version model, and the maintenance cycle is also consistent. According to the maintenance manual, the first insurance of the vehicle needs to be carried out at 5000km or 3 months (whichever comes first), and the first insurance is free. After that, every 5000km or 3 months requires minor maintenance at a price of 323 yuan. The air filter element is replaced every 10,000km at a price of 87 yuan; the air conditioning filter element is replaced every 20,000km at a price of 57 yuan; and the fuel filter element is replaced every 15,000km at a price of 63 yuan. The spark plug is replaced every 40,000km at a price of 232 yuan, and the antifreeze is replaced every 60,000km at a price of 198 yuan.

It can be seen that the maintenance price of Roewe RX5 new energy is not cheap, and there is no difference between the 1.5T plug-in mixing system and the fuel version model.

In the past three years, the burden of many car owners has been increased.
Oil cost survey

According to our survey, in the fully powered hybrid mode, the actual fuel consumption of Roewe RX5 new energy is about 5.5L/100 km, which is about 2L lower than the fuel version. We calculate the fuel cost based on the current 7.3 yuan per liter of No. 92 gasoline, which is 8,030 yuan for 20,000km in one year and 24,090 yuan for 60,000km in three years, with an average of 669 yuan per month. Overall, with the help of the plug-in and mixing system, the fuel cost of Roewe RX5 new energy is at a low level in the same level of compact SUV, but because the Roewe RX5 fuel version of the model itself is not high in fuel consumption, so in comparison, Roewe RX5 new energy does not save too much cost for the owner, can be cheaper than 200 yuan per month, and can save about 2400 yuan a year.
