An SUV priced at less than 200,000 yuan, to achieve fuel consumption and power balance, in the past it was a very difficult thing, even some joint venture factories are difficult to do. However, with the continuous deepening of new energy technology, some independent brands have found a direction to break through the "bottleneck", and MG's compact plug-in hybrid SUV - MG Pilot New Energy is one of them.
Different from the MG Pilot Fuel Edition in the sports of the "virtual table", MG Pilot New Energy in the 1.5T plug-in mix system, the vehicle in the sports appearance at the same time, finally taking into account the power performance, more importantly, the lower fuel consumption performance of this car greatly increased, the official announcement of this car NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 100 kilometers 1.3L. Of course, publicity is publicity, and for consumers, it is the key to really saving the car. So next, we will conduct a survey on the maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel consumption of MG Pilot New Energy.
Insurance costs
According to our survey, MG Pilot New Energy "2021 Combustion Series 1.5T Hybrid Deluxe Edition" is hotter and better sold, because although this car is the lowest model in the whole series, some scientific and technological configurations and practical configurations are complete enough, less than medium and high-end models, less driver assistance systems, electric trunks, front seat heating, interior mood lights, etc. For daily use of the car, in addition, even the lowest model, there is no shrinkage in terms of power, so it is cheaper than 10,000-20,000 yuan" The 2021 Burning Series 1.5T Hybrid Deluxe Edition is more cost-effective, so we use this car as a survey model.
After the introduction of the new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, the commercial insurance of MG Pilot New Energy has hardly changed compared with before, mainly because the ownership is not high. MG Pilot New Energy purchased 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance, traffic insurance three major insurance types, the first year of premium is about 6610 yuan, if there is no accident in the later process of car use, the premium will be reduced.

The interval after that is 7500 km or 6 months. In terms of parts replacement cycle and price, the air conditioning filter and air filter are replaced every 15,000km; the spark plug is replaced every 40,000km; and the fuel filter and brake fluid are replaced every 30,000km. Accessories range in price from 50-300 yuan.

Oil cost survey
MG Pilot New Energy as a plug-in hybrid model, the system comprehensive power of 214kW, the highest pure electric mileage of 75km, according to our survey, in the case of full oil, the use of hybrid mode driving, its 100 km fuel consumption of about 5.6L, we to the current 92 gasoline per liter 8 yuan, calculate MG Pilot new energy fuel costs, three years of driving 60000km for 26880 yuan, the average annual is 8960 yuan, the average monthly about 747 yuan. Overall, mg pilot new energy fuel consumption performance is in line with expectations, less than 800 yuan per month fuel cost is the level of this level of plug-in hybrid SUV. However, according to user feedback, in the feeder state, mg pilot new energy's 100 km fuel consumption is generally higher, about 7.3L, compared with BYD's "Song PLUS DM-i", the same feed state is at least 2 L/100 km higher. But fortunately, at present, manufacturers have free installation and gift charging pile activities, which may also be the best way to help users avoid vehicle feeding.
