Judging from my test drive experience with the Mercedes-Benz GLB, the Mercedes-Benz GLLB is ok everywhere, except for the 1.3T power performance is really disturbing. However, the ordinary version of Mercedes-Benz GLB launched 2.0T has little chance, as for the reason is the performance version of Mercedes-Benz GLB, that is, Mercedes-Benz GLLB AMG is equipped with a 2.0T engine, if the ordinary version of 2.0T, it is bound to be "rolled in" with the AMG model. So, if you like the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz GLB and the 7-seat layout, but the power of the 1.3T is really "intolerable", then the Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG can only be the only choice for a long time. However, according to our past experience, Mercedes-Benz's AMG series as a performance model product line, in the cost of the car will be higher than the ordinary Mercedes-Benz car, today we will take a look at the Mercedes-Benz GLLB AMG in the car expenditure, what is the situation?
Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG currently has only one model on sale, that is, the 2021 model AMG GLB 35 4MATIC, today we will take this car as a reference to see what is the cost of raising a GLLB AMG in fuel, maintenance and insurance costs?
Oil cost:
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the NEDC of Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG is 8.4L/100km, and according to our tests of this car, the actual comprehensive fuel consumption is about 13L/100km. For a compact SUV, such fuel consumption is relatively high, but if you consider that this is an AMG, then it is not surprising. Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG needs to add No. 95 gasoline, and the current price is 7.8 yuan / L.
If we assume that the mileage of a year is 20,000 kilometers, then the fuel cost of Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG in a year is 20,280 yuan, and the average monthly costs are 1690 yuan.
Maintenance cost:
Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG maintenance cycle and other Mercedes-Benz brand cars, are 10,000 km maintenance once, maintenance is mainly divided into A maintenance and B maintenance alternately, of which A maintenance for the replacement of oil and filter, the cost of 1819 yuan, the need to add AMG oil. B maintenance on the basis of A maintenance also need to replace the air filter, B maintenance cost is 2701 yuan.
In addition, there is the replacement of some consumables, every 20,000 kilometers, the need to replace spark plugs, brake oil and air conditioning filters, the total cost of this series of replacements is 2750 yuan. Then there is 60,000 kilometers, you need to replace the vehicle's gearbox oil, the cost is 3195 yuan.
So if we calculate according to the three-year driving of 60,000 kilometers, the total maintenance cost of Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG in three years is 25,005 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost is 8335 yuan.
Insurance Costs:
According to the insurance samples we obtained, the insurance cost of Mercedes-Benz GLLB AMG is 13586 yuan in the case of purchasing power of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance. If we assume that there has been no accident for three years, after calculating the insurance company's declining discount year by year, the total insurance cost required for the car for three years is 33965 yuan, the average annual insurance expenditure is 11321 yuan, plus 420 yuan after the car and ship use tax is 11741 yuan.
summary:
By adding up the cost of fuel, maintenance and insurance, we conclude that a Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG requires a car maintenance cost of 40356 yuan a year without considering other soft expenses, and an average monthly car maintenance cost of 3363 yuan. On the whole, as a compact SUV, such a car maintenance cost is indeed not cheap, twice as expensive as the ordinary version of the GLB. If it weren't for the driving pleasure that comes with the AMG series, the Mercedes-Benz GLC seems to be a more suitable choice than the Mercedes-Benz GLLB AMG.
