Rolls-Royce is a British veteran luxury car, although it has now been sold to the BMW Group, but BMW has not intervened in the operation of Rolls-Royce, it still maintains British elegance and modesty. Rolls-Royce has a high status in the world, it is not only a car, but also a symbol of the owner's identity and economic strength.
Many people think that Dubai is the city with the highest rolls-royce ownership, but in fact, it is not, the city with the highest rolls-royce ownership is in Hong Kong, the mainland, and the number of cars here has reached more than 10,000 units. There are also many rich people in the mainland who own Rolls-Royce cars, and we can often see Rolls-Royces on city roads. But as soon as it reaches the highway, the Rolls-Royce almost all disappears, why is this?
Running high speed is basically because you need to travel long distances, and a high speed must be at least 100 kilometers or so. The consumption of running long distances for cars is very large, and if the consumption of luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce is too large, the depreciation when selling second-hand cars will be very high. If the mileage of a Rolls-Royce is equivalent to the mileage of a private car, then the car is not worth much in the used car market.
A Rolls-Royce owner said that the used car market is very strict about rolls-royce mileage, and cars with long mileage generally have a relatively low asking price. He had a friend who was going to sell Rolls-Royce, and he spent more than $9 million on the car, which had depreciated to 5 million four years later, losing an average of $1 million a year. Moreover, the wear and tear of running high-speed auto parts is also relatively large, and the price of Rolls-Royce parts is also very expensive, and it takes tens of thousands of tires to change.
In addition, the more expensive the price of the car, the higher the maintenance cost, the maintenance cost of Rolls-Royce is dozens of times higher than the maintenance cost of the traditional luxury car, and it costs a lot of money to do a maintenance. Running a high-speed, the owner basically has to do a maintenance of the car, and it costs a lot of money.
Third, fuel consumption is too high. Rolls-Royce's engine displacement is very large, it is basically equipped with more than 6.5 liters of displacement engines, fuel consumption per kilometer is about 17 liters, if the driving style is wrong, fuel consumption may rise twice. Now the price of oil is not cheap, running a long distance also has to give hundreds of pieces or even thousands of pieces of oil, who does not look at the pain?
Fourth, car owners have more convenient means of travel. The owners of rolls-royces are generally worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and they pay attention to efficiency when they travel on business. Although running high speed is very fast, it is much slower than high-speed rail and airplanes. If the owner of the car goes out to talk about business, he will definitely choose a faster means of transportation such as an airplane.
And the first class cabin of the plane is more comfortable, and the owner can also sleep in the aircraft seat. Rolls-Royce's space, while spacious, is not as comfortable as the first class cabin of the aircraft. So many car owners say that we have money, but we are not stupid, if you want to go far, of course, you have to choose a more comfortable means of transportation.
summary:
Whether it's luxury or comfort, Rolls-Royce is better than other cars, but there are times when it can't meet the needs of car owners. Driving on urban roads may only be a few thousand kilometers a year, but the last highway catches up with the owner of the car in the city for a month, and the owner is of course reluctant to do it.
