I still vividly remember a picture of a little boy lying on the glass of a car shop, secretly looking at the Ferrari 458 in the window. Honestly, what little boy doesn't have a sports car dream? But in the face of the expensive price, the wallet seems to be a little pale, even if you choose to buy a coupe, the price is basically above 200,000. In contrast, the price of shadow leopard is indeed close enough, even if it is the top version, it is only the guidance price of more than 100,000. Although this car is ridiculed by everyone every day, it is reasonable to exist, you say yes? So like such a "civilian god car", its average monthly maintenance cost is not high? Don't worry, this is for you.
First of all, let's take a look at the appearance of the whole vehicle, the reason why the shadow leopard is ridiculed is because the whole vehicle uses a lot of "imitation carbon fiber material" decoration, but I think what is the core element of the exterior design? Isn't it good-looking, just rush at this price to give you enough movement, explosion of the appearance, I think it is quite good.
In terms of spatial performance, the length, width and height of the Shadow Leopard are: 4700/1850/1432mm, and the wheelbase is 2736mm. The space performance in the car is decent, the rear space is not spacious, but it is not very cramped, but this head space will be affected a little, after all, the body uses a "big slip" design.
In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 130 kW and a peak torque of 270 N·m. Although the official newspaper's zero hundred acceleration score is 6.95s, after repeated measurements, the zero hundred acceleration score of this car is generally around 8s. Although it is not a very strong achievement, but if you look at its price, this result is actually quite good in the same price range.
So how much does it cost to raise this car? Next, let's get into the main topic, take the Shadow Leopard 2021 270T Shadow Leopard J16 Edition (128,000 yuan) as an example, and carefully calculate the account for everyone.
1. Fuel costs
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Shadow Leopard J16 version of NEDC per 100 kilometers is only 5.7L, but this is only an ideal state, even if you run high speed every day, you may not be able to run to this fuel consumption level. Most of the car owners' measured fuel consumption is about 7.2L, and I will calculate it here based on 7.2L. This car is added to the 92 gasoline, the current price of the 92 gasoline oil in my location is 7.8 yuan / L, if you calculate according to the annual driving distance of 20,000km, the fuel cost of that year is about 11232 yuan, and the average monthly fuel cost is 936 yuan.
Second, maintenance costs
The small maintenance cycle of the shadow leopard is 5000km, and the large maintenance cycle is 20000km. The manufacturer has a gift for the first maintenance, so the first 5000km maintenance is free. 10000km need to be replaced: oil + oil filter element + air filter element + air conditioning chip = 736 yuan; 15000km need to be replaced: oil + oil filter element = 448 yuan; 20000km need to be replaced: oil + oil filter element + air filter element + fuel chip + air conditioning chip = 861 yuan, the conventional maintenance cost of the first 60000km is about 10767 yuan. According to the above mileage, the average year is two size maintenance, the maintenance cost of the first year is about 1570 yuan, and the average maintenance cost of one month is about 131.3 yuan.
3. Insurance costs
In addition to the fuel fee, buying car insurance is also an important must.. After all, in case of a collision with a luxury car, the amount of insurance you buy is relatively low, and the remaining costs after the insurance claim will have to be paid by yourself. Taking Shadow Leopard JI6 as an example, if you buy compulsory traffic insurance + commercial insurance, the price of the first year insurance is 950 + 4799 = 4987 yuan, an average of 415.6 yuan a month. Of course, if there is no insurance later, the cost will be further reduced, which depends on the actual situation of the user driving, and it is calculated in the first year.
4. High-speed fee, car wash fee, parking fee
A year down, running high-speed is certainly inevitable, a year's high-speed cost is calculated according to 500 yuan, an average of 42 yuan a month; wash the car twice a month, the car wash fee is 30 yuan, a month is 60 yuan; if you do not buy a parking space, if you rent it every month, the average monthly rent of my location is about 300 yuan, then the average monthly cost of all miscellaneous items is: 42 + 60 + 300 = 402 yuan.
If the car does not scratch, there is no violation of the fine, all the above expenses add up to: fuel costs 936 yuan + maintenance costs 131.3 yuan + insurance costs 415.6 yuan + miscellaneous expenses 402 yuan = 1885 yuan, if it is a full purchase of the car, the average monthly maintenance cost of shadow leopard is not high; if it is a loan to buy a car, according to three years, in addition to the 30% down payment, the monthly repayment amount is about 2890 yuan, counting the average monthly maintenance costs, the monthly cost is about 4775 yuan, The overall cost is still relatively large. If you buy a car in full, it is still relatively easy to raise a shadow leopard with a monthly salary of 6,000, but if it is bought with a loan, the monthly salary must be 80,000 upwards to be able to afford it, after all, life also has to be spent. So if it's you, does your wallet allow you to keep a shadow leopard?
