Recently, private car owners have been constantly being "critically attacked", first the price of oil is rising, and then the price of new energy vehicles is rising. Date, another round of price increases hit, and the focus of the price increase is on lubricating oil. A few days ago, Shell, Total, Kunlun Lubricants and other five companies have announced product price increases, the reason for the price increase is the rise in raw material prices.
Ordinary family cars cost at least 100 yuan more per year
Among them, Shell has already risen for the second time, as early as March 20, Shell announced that the price of its products increased by 8%-10%. This time, Shell once again officially announced that since April 15, the price of all lubricant products is expected to rise by 8%-15%. The direct impact of this round on car owners is that the cost of car maintenance has increased again. So many fans said in the comment area: "I really want to cry"; some netizens said: "So the price increase, the car can't afford to drive."
In order to more intuitively see the change in the cost of car maintenance, the ghost brother helps the owner to calculate an account. At present, ordinary private car owners go to the 4S shop to change the oil, the single maintenance cost of the engine below 2.0T (excluding the three filters) is about 350-400 on average, if a private car travels 25,000 kilometers per year, the oil cost of ordinary family cars is about 1000-1200 yuan. If the fee rises by 10%, then the owner needs to spend about 100-120 yuan more per year. But if it is a luxury car or a high-end model, it will cost more silver than this.
Oil Prices Rise After Car Prices Rise People's Wuling is also overwhelmed
Indeed, today for car owners, no matter the test. First, round after round of oil prices have risen, resulting in rising costs for refueling. At present, taking the Beijing area as an example, the price of No. 92 gasoline is 8.65 yuan per liter, the price of No. 95 gasoline is 9.21 yuan per liter, and the price of No. 98 gasoline is 10.19 yuan per liter. For the Corolla, for example, the fuel tank volume of the 1.5L model is 50L, and at present, the price of No. 92 gasoline is 8.65 yuan per liter, and it is about 432 yuan to add a tank of fuel.
In the face of rising oil prices, many fans began to waver and began to pay attention to hybrid and pure electric vehicles. However, the price of new energy models has begun to rise again. Raw material shortages have led to higher raw material prices, so much so that end-market guidance prices have risen. During this time, BYD, Tesla, Xiaopeng Automobile, Nezha Automobile, Chery New Energy, etc., a number of new energy vehicle companies issued price increase announcements for their new energy products.
A few days ago, the people's Wuling finally couldn't stand it. Late at night on March 23, SAIC-GM-Wuling released news on social platforms to adjust the price of many models represented by its Wuling Hongguang MINIEV series, ranging from 4,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan. A few days ago, the starting price of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV has entered the 30,000+ range.
So, what most fans are thinking is, when will this round of price increases end, and can the price of the car be reduced back? I am afraid that no one can give an accurate answer to this. However, most industry experts still believe that despite the rise in the price of new energy vehicles, the momentum of hot sales will not be reversed.
Ghost Bucket Car View: Judging from this year's situation, the reform of the car market is by no means a slogan. In the case of the overall increase in the cost of multiple cars, some fans can first put aside their feelings and traditional car selection concepts, reconsider the purchase of models, and then weigh the pros and cons before making the most realistic choice. What do fans think about this, leave a message for the ghost brother.
