In recent years, in addition to the booming in the domestic SUV field, Great Wall Motors has also received a lot of attention in the commercial pickup truck market, which is mainly due to the popularity of the Great Wall Gun, and recently another commercial pickup truck of the Great Wall has also ushered in the listing, and the starting price is lower than the threshold of the Great Wall Gun. However, for users, the recent high oil prices seem to make them feel that choosing pickup trucks now will have a lot of car maintenance burdens, so is this really the case? Next, we will conduct a survey on the fuel version and gasoline version of the Great Wall King Kong Gun, and conduct a survey on the insurance price, maintenance cost and fuel cost.
Insurance cost survey
Since the Great Wall Diamond Gun has just been listed, we cannot know the actual insurance price of the Great Wall Diamond Gun for the time being, but we can make some speculations about the insurance price of the Great Wall Diamond Gun "2022 2.0T Manual Diesel Two-Wheel Drive Elite TEU GW4D20M" and "2022 2.0T Manual Gasoline Two-Wheel Drive Pilot TEU GW4C20B" insurance price based on the car price and the insurance price of other models at the same price.
According to our investigation, after purchasing 1 million three major insurance types, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, the total premium of the first year is about 4500 yuan, and the first year premium of the gasoline version is about 4400 yuan. If there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced after that, we calculate with a standard premium of 20% off in the second year and a 30% discount in the third year, the total premium of the Three-year Diesel Edition of the Great Wall Diamond Gun is about 11250 yuan, the average one-year is about 3750 yuan; the total premium of the gasoline version model in three years is about 11000 yuan, and the average one-year is about 3667 yuan. The price of some home SUV insurance at the same price point is basically close.
Maintenance cost survey
The Great Wall King Kong Gun diesel and gasoline versions are equipped with 2.0T engines, in terms of maintenance cycle and price, we can make some speculations based on the maintenance price of the same power Great Wall Gun before.
According to our survey, the first warranty time of the Diesel Version of the Great Wall King Kong Gun is 3000km, and the maintenance interval after that is 5000km, and the price of small maintenance is about 350 yuan. The first insurance time of the gasoline version is 5000km, and the maintenance interval after that is 5000km, and the price of small maintenance is about 500 yuan.
We take the general family driving 60000km for three years as the car cycle, calculate the total maintenance cost of the Great Wall Diamond Gun for three years, the diesel version needs about 3700 yuan, an average of about 1233 yuan per year; the car version needs about 4800 yuan, an average of about 1600 yuan per year. It can be seen that the overall maintenance price of the Great Wall Diamond Gun is not high, and the diesel version maintenance price is cheaper. In addition, compared with the Geely Xingyue L, which also uses 2.0T power, the three-year maintenance cost of the Great Wall Diamond Gun is at least 2400 yuan cheaper.
Energy consumption survey
The Great Wall Diamond Gun diesel and gasoline version of the model, although they all use a 2.0T engine, matching the 6-speed manual transmission, but due to the characteristics of the diesel engine low turn and high torque, the actual fuel consumption is lower than that of the gasoline engine of the same displacement, so we still take the fuel consumption of the Great Wall Gun diesel and gasoline version models as the basis, and it can be speculated that the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Great Wall Diamond Gun diesel model is about 10L; the comprehensive fuel consumption of the gasoline version is about 12L.
We calculate the fuel cost based on the current No. 92 gasoline 8.6 yuan / liter; No. 0 diesel 8.3 yuan / liter, the fuel cost of the Great Wall King Kong Cannon gasoline version model driving 60,000km for three years is 61,920 yuan, an average of 1720 yuan per month; the three-year fuel cost of the diesel version is 49,800 yuan, an average of 1383 yuan per month. However, because the diesel version consumes about 4 liters of urea for every 100 liters of diesel fuel consumed, the cost of urea after 60,000 km in three years is about 720 yuan, which means that the actual total fuel cost of the diesel version is 50,520 yuan.
Overall, due to the weight of the Great Wall King Kong gun truck, the fuel consumption is not low, but because it can use cheaper No. 92 gasoline and No. 0 fuel, the actual three-year fuel cost of the diesel version is nearly 800 yuan cheaper than the Geely Xingyue L we are familiar with, which is already good for a pickup truck.
epilogue:
We add up the above maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel costs, and we can calculate that the cost of the Great Wall King Kong Gun gasoline version of the three-year driving of 60,000km is about 77,720 yuan, an average of 25,907 yuan per year, an average of 2,159 yuan per month; the cost of diesel models is about 65,470 yuan, an average of 21,823 yuan per year, an average of 1,819 yuan per month.
It can be seen that the cost of the three-year car use of the Great Wall King Kong Gun diesel version model is more economical, and it is more than 12,000 yuan than the gasoline version. In addition, according to our previous survey, the Geely Xingyue L spent more than 74,000 yuan in three years, which is more than 8,000 yuan more expensive than the diesel version of the Great Wall Diamond Gun. Therefore, as a 90,000 yuan Great Wall commercial pickup truck, the Great Wall Gun can have such a low cost of use, or very good.
