(The picture shows the Volvo XC60 new energy 2022 model)
At the beginning of this year, Volvo launched the new XC60 T8 and S90 T8 models, and the power and endurance of both cars have been upgraded under the condition of unchanged prices. Although the price of about 500,000 yuan for the two cars may be out of reach for most people, but fortunately, as a plug-in model, it will not be difficult to afford in the later stage of car maintenance, we have analyzed the S90 T8 earlier, and the monthly car maintenance cost is less than 1500 yuan, even ordinary consumers can afford to raise this car. So let's analyze the new XC60 T8 today to see if it is enough to save money on the car, and how much cheaper it can be than the fuel version of the car? The survey is mainly conducted from three aspects: insurance cost, maintenance cost, electricity cost and fuel cost.
Insurance costs
After the Volvo XC60 T8 rebranding, we chose the most closely watched start-up version of the "2022 T8 Plug-in Hybrid Four-Wheel Drive Zhiyuan Deluxe Edition" as the reference model, its guidance price is 527,900 yuan, and the threshold is nearly 150,000 yuan higher than the fuel version. As a new energy vehicle, volvo XC60 T8 premiums are certainly affected by the new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, after the purchase of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance three major insurance types, the first year of the car's premium is almost 9353 yuan, of which the price of car damage insurance is 6203 yuan, almost catching up with the annual insurance cost of ordinary SUVs.
But fortunately, if the vehicle does not follow up with insurance, the insurance company will have a year-on-year decline in the discount, we calculate with a standard premium of 20% off the second year, 30% off in the third year, volvo XC60 T8 three years of insurance total costs of about 23383 yuan, the average annual cost of almost 7794 yuan on insurance. However, for the lower price of the Volvo XC60 fuel version, the same purchase of three basic insurance types, and pay the car and boat tax, counting the discount, the insurance cost is about 6700 yuan a year, which is cheaper than the plug-in model of more than 1,000 yuan.
Maintenance costs
According to the official maintenance manual, volvo XC60 T8 maintenance is basically not much different from the fuel version, both models are equipped with 2.0T engines, but Volvo XC60 T8 in addition to maintaining oil filters and other accessories, but also to check the motor battery. Volvo XC60 T8 maintenance interval of 10,000 km, each maintenance to replace the oil machine filter and other conventional small maintenance, each replacement cost of about 908 yuan, in addition to providing vehicle testing services. In terms of other accessories replacement cycle and price, the air conditioning filter is replaced every 20,000 kilometers, and the single cost is 428 yuan; the air filter and gasoline filter are replaced every 30,000 kilometers, counting the total cost of 768 yuan; the spark plug is replaced when driving to 40,000 kilometers, and the cost is about 900 yuan.
We drive 60,000 kilometers for three years according to the family car for a large maintenance cycle, the total calculation, Volvo S90 T8 three years of maintenance costs of about 9168 yuan, on average, almost 3056 yuan per year on maintenance, for a luxury brand of medium-sized SUVs, such maintenance prices do not seem to be too expensive.
Oil and electricity
Volvo XC60 T8's biggest car maintenance advantage is reflected in the fuel cost and electricity costs, especially in the current oil price soaring, raising a plug-in hybrid model is naturally able to save a lot of money than fuel vehicles. Volvo XC60 T8 is a 2.0T engine and dual motor composed of a power system, the battery capacity is 18.8kW, WLTP pure electric mileage of 64km, the comprehensive power consumption is almost 29kWh/100km, in addition, from the fuel consumption performance of the old model, the new car's actual 100 km fuel consumption is also about 7L. The current price of household electricity is 0.56 yuan / kWh, and the price of No. 95 oil has risen to 8.6 yuan / L.
If the family car can drive 20,000 kilometers a year, half with oil, half with electricity to calculate, then volvo XC60 T8 annual electricity and fuel costs need 1624 yuan, 6020 yuan, a total of almost 7644 yuan, is very cheap, even no new insurance price is high. However, the cost of the fuel version of the model is relatively high, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 10L, and after the oil price rises, the fuel cost for one year is almost 17,000 yuan, and this price can be raised for two years.
summary
We add up the insurance cost, maintenance costs, and electricity and fuel costs, you can calculate that raising a Volvo XC60 T8, it costs almost 18494 yuan per year, and it takes about 1541 yuan per month to share it equally, as a medium-sized SUV with a power output of up to 456 horsepower, the cost of such a car is not expensive, and even more than the performance of mercedes-Benz GLC AMG, which can save nearly 30,000 yuan per year. Although it is affected by captive insurance, the price of insurance is relatively expensive, but it is good that the cost of electricity is cheap, the fuel consumption is not high, and it is still more advantageous in terms of car maintenance, even for ordinary consumers, such car costs are not difficult to afford.
