On January 29, domestic oil prices ushered in a wave of substantial growth, and the recent price increase span is very large, No. 95 gasoline once again broke through the 8 yuan / liter mark, many people bluntly said that the car did not dare to drive, and now take the subway to work every day. The sharp rise in oil prices has made it difficult for many small partners who are about to buy new cars, should they buy fuel vehicles or buy hybrid models? For family cars, which of the two models is more suitable? Today, in response to this topic, we will talk about different groups of people to use the car, whether to choose a fuel car or a hybrid car, which of the two models is better.

First of all, the most common hybrid models on the market can be divided into two categories: oil-electric hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the biggest difference between these two hybrid forms of models is that plug-in hybrid models can charge the battery, can completely rely on electric energy to drive, and in the engine and electric motor at the same time, can burst out a very strong power, and the above-mentioned oil-electric hybrid version of the model is not satisfied. But no matter what kind of hybrid form, compared to pure fuel vehicles to be more fuel-efficient, but the corresponding price is more expensive than pure fuel vehicles, especially plug-in hybrid models, the price is generally higher.

For the consumer psychology of Chinese users, buying things will generally give priority to cost-effective products, so this is why the sales of hybrid models have not been very good. In fact, most consumers only see the amount of car purchase when buying a car, and ignore the cost of the car in the later stage. Although the current car engine technology has reached the ultimate level and the fuel economy has become better, it cannot afford the speed of oil price increases, so there is the embarrassing situation that we mentioned at the beginning of the article, buying a car but not being able to afford a car. Especially for friends who use cars more frequently, even if they only commute to work, the oil money will exceed 10,000 yuan a year. Therefore, over time, the money to refuel the car has even exceeded the difference in price to pay for a hybrid model, and at this time, it is more suitable to choose a hybrid version.

That for car owners who use cars more frequently, is it better to choose hybrid models, in fact, it may not be so. First of all, we have to understand that although the hybrid model is fuel-efficient, but combined with the difference between the fuel vehicle and the hybrid model, if you want to make up for the difference between them by saving fuel, the vehicle generally has to travel at least 50,000 kilometers to barely be able to, the more kilometers traveled, the more prominent the cost performance of the hybrid model. However, for most people with a fixed two-point and one-line life, driving every day of the year is nothing more than 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers, and it takes at least 3 years to reach 50,000 kilometers. Nowadays, the speed of automobile development is extremely rapid, and in 3 years, a model has completed at least one mid-term modification or even a replacement. Therefore, at this time, the residual value of the used car of the vehicle will be greatly affected.

With the development of the economy, consumers are also changing cars faster and faster, especially some young car owners, new cars may be replaced in 2 or 3 years. At this time, the retention rate of used cars in vehicles is particularly important. We all know that the retention rate of Japanese cars in the field of used cars has always been better than that of other car series, but there is also a big gap in the retention rate of models with different power forms. At present, fuel vehicles are still the most owned models in the market, and their retention rate is generally relatively high, and the price of second-hand cars is relatively stable. The sales volume of hybrid models is low, coupled with the poor market recognition of individual models, so the retention rate of second-hand cars is often very poor, and it is common to use 2 years of price direct waist cut. Therefore, at this time, remind us that if you plan to buy a hybrid model, you must consider the number of years you plan to use, if you use it for 2-3 years, it is likely that you will lose more when you sell the car, and the price of the car is even tens of thousands more than the fuel car.
In terms of maintenance costs, the charges of these models are not much different. However, because the plug-in hybrid version of the model is equipped with a battery with a slightly larger capacity, and this battery has a service life, the replacement cost of the most important battery is relatively high, so this is also the reason why the retention rate of plug-in hybrid models is generally not high. In addition, if the battery is damaged once it is released during use, the maintenance costs that the owner needs to face will not be too low, which will invisibly increase the cost of the car. Therefore, relatively speaking, the failure rate of the fuel version and the hybrid version of the fuel version is lower than that of the fuel version, and the technology is also relatively mature, which can save maintenance costs to a certain extent. Choosing a plug-in hybrid version of the model, there is psychological preparation in this regard.
summary
In general, the three types of pure fuel version, oil-electric hybrid and plug-in hybrid have their own advantages, and they all have their own advantages. Among them, the first two models are more practical for most consumers, if you use the car for a long time, and plan to use 2-3 years after the change, it is recommended to give priority to the fuel version of the model, so that not only the new car is relatively cheap to buy, the price of the second-hand car will not lose too much when selling the car. The gasoline-electric hybrid version of the model is more suitable for those who use cars more frequently, such as: online car owners, which can be described as a weapon to return the cost. The hybrid version of the oil-electric model is not only fuel-efficient, but also more smooth and comfortable to drive in the city, the only drawback is that you need to spend tens of thousands of yuan more on the budget of the car than the fuel version, but in exchange for permanent revenue. As for the plug-in hybrid version of the model, this model in addition to the acceleration, other useless, not only the price is outrageous, pure electric endurance is relatively short, and after the battery is used up, completely rely on the engine to drive is more fuel-intensive, plus the second-hand car retention rate is also relatively poor, so the plug-in hybrid version of the model is the least recommended for everyone to buy.
