In the new Land Rover Defender, the 5.0T model only has a "2023 110 V8" car, priced at 1.618 million yuan, we use this car as a reference model. In terms of insurance costs, the main purchase of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance these three basic insurance types, almost need to spend 21213 yuan, as a million-level SUV, just one year of car damage insurance, the price has reached about 18,000 yuan. In addition, because it is a 5.0L displacement engine, the car and vessel tax also needs to pay 4500 yuan per year, and the total calculation is that the insurance cost of this 5.0T Land Rover Defender in the first year is about 25713 yuan.
Of course, if the follow-up does not appear, the insurance cost will be reduced year by year, according to the standard premium of the second year 20% off, the third year of 30% off to calculate, then in fact, the car three years of the total cost of the need for about 64283 yuan, evenly amortized, Land Rover Defender 5.0T annual insurance cost price is almost 21428 yuan.
Maintenance costs

Oil costs
Land Rover Defender is equipped with a 5.0T V8 supercharged engine, the maximum power is 386kW, the maximum torque is 625N·m, matching the 8AT gearbox, the power performance is very strong, which is also destined to be an unproductive car, even in theory, every hundred kilometers also need about 12.8L of fuel consumption, not to mention for this engine, there should be no "theoretical" fuel consumption, so the actual fuel consumption should be higher, and it also has to add expensive No. 95 oil. Now the price has risen to 8.6 yuan / L. If calculated according to the annual mileage of 20,000 kilometers, then the annual fuel cost of the Land Rover Defender 5.0T is about 22,016 yuan, an average of 1,835 yuan per month, of course, this is the fuel cost in the "ideal state", and the fuel cost of the car will inevitably increase.
summary
If you add up the above calculated costs, the insurance cost is about 21428 yuan, the maintenance cost is about 7308 yuan, and the fuel cost is about 22016 yuan, you can conclude that raising a Land Rover Defender 5.0T costs at least 50752 yuan per year, and every month it costs about 4229 yuan, and this does not include parking fees, car wash fees and other piecemeal expenses. However, the fuel cost of land rover defender is not as exaggerated as imagined, it is a relatively fuel-consuming ordinary SUV level, compared to its insurance costs and maintenance costs seem to be more reflective of the value, enough to cover the cost of ordinary models for two or three years. Of course, car owners who can afford to buy 5.0T Land Rover Defender probably won't care about the annual cost of 50,000 car maintenance.
