Since the launch of the first product in 2014, the cumulative sales of Changan's "CS75 family" have exceeded 1.5 million vehicles, and in the domestic compact SUV "dual clutch" prevailing market, the Changan CS75 PLUS equipped with AT gearbox is simply a clear stream. Moreover, with the listing of the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS on February 28, it is believed that it will once again attract more people's attention.
Of course, in addition to the strong product force, intended customers must be equally concerned about the cost of Changan CS75 PLUS, after all, this will directly affect the future use of cars. So what is the cost of the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS? Next, we will combine the previous survey and some changes in vehicle power to speculate on the cost of new cars and see what level they are in the same class. The scope of the survey mainly focused on three aspects: maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel costs.
Insurance costs
The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS has just been launched, although we do not have relevant insurance data, but compared with the previous models with similar prices, we can still speculate on the price of new car insurance costs. Taking the "2022 second-generation 1.5T automatic pilot" and "2022 second-generation 2.0T automatic pilot" with high cost performance as the survey models, after purchasing the three main insurance types of 2 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, the first year premium of the 1.5T model is about 5630 yuan, and the first year premium of the 2.0T model is about 6330 yuan. Of course, if there is no accident in the later process of car use, the premium will be reduced, so we calculate the total cost of the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS insurance with a 20% discount in the second year and a 30% discount in the third year of the standard premium, and the total premium of the 1.5T model for three years is about 14075 yuan; the total premium of the 2.0T model for three years is about 15825 yuan.
Maintenance cost survey
Changes in the power system will directly affect the cost of car maintenance, in this regard, the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS power adjustment is mainly focused on the 1.5T model, the new car not only improves the horsepower parameters of the 1.5T model, but also upgrades the previously matched 6AT to 8AT. The horsepower of the 2.0T model has not been adjusted, and it is still equipped with 8AT. According to our survey, whether it is 6AT or 8AT, Aisin's two automatic transmissions can be maintenance-free for life, even if the car environment is harsh, in the three-year 60,000km car cycle, there is no need for maintenance, and the horsepower increase of the 1.5T model is not expected to have much impact on the cost of the car.
Therefore, combined with the maintenance price of the vehicle before and our speculation, it can be inferred that the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS has the relevant maintenance details during the three-year driving 60,000km car cycle: the first insurance time of the 1.5T and 2.0T models is 5000km or 6 months, the first insurance is free, the small maintenance price of the 1.5T model is about 312 yuan, the small maintenance price of the 2.0T model is about 462 yuan, and the subsequent maintenance interval is 7500km or 6 months. The replacement cycle of accessories for 1.5T and 2.0T models is the same, with spark plugs and antifreeze replaced every 20,000km; air conditioning filters and air filters are replaced every 15,000km; brake fluids are replaced every 30,000km.
We take the general family driving 60000km for three years as the car cycle, calculate the total maintenance cost of the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS, the 1.5T model needs 4119 yuan, an average of about 1373 yuan per year; the 2.0T model needs about 5887 yuan, an average of about 1962 yuan per year. Compared with the same level of compact SUV such as Haval H6, the price of the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS 1.5T model is more than 4,000 yuan, at least 1,000 yuan cheaper, mainly because the small maintenance price is cheap, only 300 yuan, and the maintenance price of the 2.0T model is at the average level.
Oil cost survey
The second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS 1.5T model is bound to have a certain increase in fuel consumption due to the upgrade of the gearbox from 6AT to 8AT, while the 2.0T model is still equipped with 8AT, the same as before, so the fuel consumption will not change much. Therefore, combined with the previous survey and our speculation, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the 1.5T model per 100 kilometers will be about 7.7L, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the 2.0T model for 100 kilometers will be about 9.6L. We calculate the fuel cost of the vehicle based on the current 92 gasoline of 8 yuan per liter. The total fuel cost of the 1.5T model driving 60,000km in three years is 36,960 yuan, with an average monthly fuel cost of about 1,027 yuan; the total fuel cost of the 2.0T is 46,080 yuan, with an average monthly fuel cost of about 1,280 yuan. It can be seen that the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS using an AT gearbox is basically at the same level as the same level of dual-clutch products, which is quite good. Compared with the old 1.5T model, the fuel cost in three years will also save about 1,000 yuan.
epilogue:
We add up the insurance cost, maintenance cost and fuel cost, we can calculate the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS 1.5T model three years to drive 60000km car cost of about 55154 yuan, an average monthly cost of about 1532 yuan; 2.0T model three years driving 60000km of car cost of about 67792 yuan, an average of about 1883 yuan per month. After our calculations, the cost of the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS car is in line with our expectations, the 2.0T model has not changed much from before, and the cost of the car is at an average level in the same level. The 1.5T model gearbox was upgraded to 8AT, but the maintenance price should not change, but the fuel consumption is lower, so the overall cost of the car is about 1,000 yuan less than the old model. Compared with the same 1.5T Haval H6, in the case of similar fuel consumption, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS small maintenance is more economical, so the total cost of the car is also cheaper than 1,000 yuan, the performance is good.
