On March 12, the 2022 BYD Song MAX DM-i model was officially launched, launching five models with a guidance price of 145,800 to 172,800 yuan, with 6 and 7 seats to choose from. As a small modification model, the biggest change in the power, the old Song MAX fuel version officially stopped production and discontinued sale, the 2022 model on sale is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5L engine and an electric motor, the pure electric mileage is 51km and 105km according to the configuration, the loss of power fuel consumption is only 4.4L/100km, it is said that its comprehensive mileage will reach 1090km, which is indeed quite attractive data for consumers.
So the question is, does the car maintenance cost of BYD Song MAX DM-i also have the sense of surprise that new energy vehicles should have? Today I will give you a good idea!
In terms of appearance, the new Song MAX DM-i continues to use the Dragon Face design language, the full LED headlights on both sides use a parallel light source layout, the upward tilt is very large, and then with the scale stereoscopic jumping grille, it is very fierce, and there is a diversion slot in the front to emphasize the sense of movement.
The shape of the side of the car is more ordinary, the double waist line design is not wrong, and there is a suspension roof that looks foreign, plus shark fins and tail spoilers, creating a certain sense of movement. In terms of parameters, the length, width and height of the new car are 4710/1810/1690 (1880) mm, and the wheelbase is 2785 mm, which belongs to the standard body in the class.
Inside the car is a familiar style, the big screen must not be less, which is also the current style of all BYD new cars. In addition to this reversible central control screen, BYD also enhances the luxury by adding more detailed textures to the light-colored trim panels. At the same time, the new car will be equipped with practical technology configurations such as keyless entry/start-up, CN95 filter, DiLink 4.0 intelligent networking system, 360-degree panoramic imaging and so on.
In terms of power, the whole powertrain is composed of a 1.5L high-efficiency engine + motor + DM-i super hybrid blade battery, which is available in two pure electric endurance versions of 51 km and 105 km respectively, the former has a minimum load state fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km, and the latter has a minimum load state fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km.
Fuel + electricity cost: less than 10832 yuan per year
Because the plug-in model has to take into account both the cost of refueling and charging, we need to calculate the cost separately for the new Song MAX DM-i equipped with a 1.5L high-efficiency engine and a single motor. Take the entry-level model as an example to make the following calculations.
In terms of fuel costs, Song MAX DM-i's low-load state fuel consumption is 5.3L/100km as low as 5.4L/100km, which can be filled with No. 92 gasoline, the current oil price is 8.02 yuan / L, and the cost is calculated according to the 20,000 km mileage in a year, and it can be calculated that its fuel cost for one year is 8662 yuan.
Electricity level, Song MAX DM-i battery power is 8.3kWh, pure electric endurance 51km, we travel 20,000 kilometers a year, need to consume 3255kWh of electricity, we calculate according to the normal electricity price in Shanghai, this power is definitely in the second gear (other appliances at home also need electricity) (the second gear 3120-4800kWh), electricity is 0.667 yuan (not timed), a year's electricity bill is 2171 yuan, really cost-effective.
Then we will add the electricity cost and fuel cost required for pure electric endurance, and we can conclude: The sum of the electricity and fuel costs of Song MAX DM-i for one year must be less than 10832 yuan, an average of 902 yuan a month, considering the current oil price, which is much more cost-effective than fuel vehicles.
Insurance cost: about 6108 yuan per year, about 521 yuan per month
At the level of insurance costs, we still take the entry-level model as an example to illustrate that commercial insurance we only use the basic compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle and vessel tax, third-party liability insurance (1 million), vehicle loss insurance, excluding deductibles, spontaneous combustion insurance, wading insurance to calculate, the comprehensive cost of these items is about 6258 yuan.
Of course, when you buy a car, you can choose whether to buy other types of insurance such as glass insurance, car personnel insurance, etc. When you buy a car, in addition, we recommend that third-party liability insurance can buy 1.5 million or 2 million amounts, the premium increase is not much, in first-tier cities with a large amount of car ownership, road traffic conditions are complex, and high-amount third-party liability insurance is necessary.
Maintenance costs: The annual maintenance cost is about 2090 yuan, and the monthly maintenance cost is about 174 yuan
After talking about fuel costs and insurance costs, then the next is the maintenance cost, for most consumers, the warranty period is definitely in the 4S shop maintenance, after the warranty period some friends will choose to maintain in other third-party institutions, the new BYD Song MAX DM-i maintenance interval is every 7500km, which is relative to other 10000km maintenance interval models, not dominant. We roughly calculated that the total maintenance cost of 60,000km is 6,270 yuan, and according to the calculation of 20,000 kilometers a year, the annual maintenance cost is about equal to 2,090 yuan, which is quite a province.
summary:
Combining insurance, maintenance and fuel costs, we get the new BYD Song MAX DM-i annual cost of less than 19180 yuan, the average cost per month is less than 1598 yuan, the overall cost is much cheaper than the traditional fuel vehicle, the main reason is due to the ability to rely on the cost of electricity to dilute the rising fuel cost.
