Is the maintenance cost of the BMW iX really not expensive? Netizen: It seems that the province is not provincial

In the past few days, oil prices have ushered in a new high, No. 92 gasoline rose to 8.01 yuan / L, No. 95 gasoline rose to 8.52 yuan / L. These three times and two price increases, to be honest, let many car owners feel a little bit of flesh pain. It is also like this, many friends have set their sights on pure electric models, after all, this is much cheaper than refueling, charging is indeed much cheaper. Speaking of pure electric cars, friends with sufficient budgets will still focus on first-line luxury brands, which is not, just like the BMW iX that was launched not long ago, which has undoubtedly become a piece of fragrant food. Some people will ask at this time: "There is money to buy BMW iX, who cares about that little oil money?" Although this is not rough, but the money that can be saved, why not save it? Today, Xiaobian will take the BMW iX2022 xDrive50 (846,900 yuan) as an example, to give you a wave of inventory, to see how much it costs to raise this luxury brand's pure electric medium and large SUV?

First of all, let's take a look at the appearance of this car, which can be found that although it is a pure electric model, BMW still adopts a relatively traditional family language design, and this "double kidney" design is still full of strong "BMW" flavor. But if you look closely, you can find that the whole vehicle has added a lot of distinctive design elements, such as this more narrow headlight and this 21-inch large wheel, which further enhances the aura of the whole vehicle.

In terms of interior, the changes to the BMW iX can be much more stunning than the exterior. The first is that the vehicle canceled the original split screen design and adopted the integrated large joint screen instead. To be honest, although the big joint screen will appear more technological in the visual experience, it always feels that something is missing after the change, so that people do not have such a strong desire to drive. In addition, the most eye-catching thing in the car's interior should be the crystal gear and knob, coupled with the panel decoration made of solid wood, the combination of high-grade and luxurious sense is just right, which is more amazing.

In terms of power, the whole vehicle adopts the layout mode of front and rear dual motors, the maximum power can reach 385kW, the peak torque is 765N·m, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 4.6s. Some people say that the price of this car is expensive, but I think this power is still quite worthy of this price, which can not only meet the daily needs of the family, but also well meet the driving desire of consumers. And the pure electric mileage of the whole vehicle WLTP can reach 630km, and if it is purely home, it is basically finished every monday.

Without further ado, let's go straight to the right topic of conservation. For the general fuel vehicle, the main cost of maintaining a car includes: fuel costs, insurance costs, maintenance costs, miscellaneous costs and other four aspects, and electric vehicles are also similar, so Xiaobian here to electricity, insurance costs, maintenance costs, miscellaneous costs and other four aspects, to calculate.

1. Electricity charges

Relative to the oil price, the unit price of electricity will be affected by the basic electricity price, public charging pile, and household electricity consumption in various regions, so Xiaobian will calculate based on the current average unit price of 0.56 yuan / kWh in my location. The actual comprehensive power consumption of BMW iX is almost 20.2kWh/100km, so if the annual driving range is calculated according to 20000km, the annual electricity bill will be 2262.4 yuan.

Second, maintenance costs

Speaking of maintenance, the tram will indeed save money than the oil car in this big item, because the tram is not like the oil car, there are so many parts that need to be maintained, and the basic one that needs to be replaced is the air conditioning filter, antifreeze, brake oil, plus some corresponding routine inspections. The air conditioning filter is replaced every 20,000 km; the coolant and brake oil are replaced every 60,000 km; and the routine inspection is checked every 20,000 km. The maintenance price of 60000km before the vehicle is about 6408 yuan, which is an average maintenance cost of about 2136 yuan a year. Of course, this also depends on everyone's car habits, if you are more car-friendly friends, it is also feasible to extend the maintenance interval appropriately.

3. Insurance costs

In terms of insurance, there is basically no difference between trams and fuel vehicles, and the more comfortable place may be that part of the purchase tax can be waived when picking up the car. Taking the price of this car as an example, my personal recommendation is to buy: a million (1630 yuan) + car damage insurance (9673 yuan) + compulsory traffic insurance (950 yuan), a total of three types of insurance, the first year of insurance costs is about 12253 yuan. If there is no insurance this year, the insurance cost will also be reduced year by year, and the annual insurance cost will be about 7351.8 yuan in the future.

4. Miscellaneous expenses

Whether it is a tram or a fuel vehicle, the miscellaneous costs of the year are certainly inevitable. The high-speed fee is calculated at 500 a year; washing the car twice a month, 30 yuan at a time, the car wash fee for that year is 720 yuan; if you don't buy a parking space, then take my location as an example, the rent of the parking space per month is about 400 yuan, and the year is 4800 yuan.

If the vehicle does not have a scratch or violation, all the costs in that year are: electricity (2262.4 yuan) + maintenance costs (2136 yuan) + insurance costs (7351.8 yuan) + miscellaneous expenses (4800 yuan) = 16550.2 yuan, then the average monthly maintenance cost is about 1379 yuan. If you deduct the average monthly cost of parking space rent, the monthly maintenance cost is about 979 yuan, which is really cheaper than fuel vehicles, and this is still a luxury medium and large SUV. Do you think this maintenance cost is in line with your expectations?
