As one of the models under Toyota's dual-vehicle strategy, Toyota Ralink has been performing well in the compact car market, and monthly sales of 20,000 are basically the norm. With such excellent results, in addition to the blessing of Toyota's reputation, its rich models also give consumers enough choices, fuel models alone, launched 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.2T turbocharged versions. However, with the rising oil prices, many consumers are more inclined to choose the relatively more fuel-efficient 1.5L model, but lower fuel consumption must mean that it is more economical to maintain a car? In response to this problem, we will analyze the insurance cost, maintenance cost and fuel cost of these two cars today.
Insurance is really not a price, 1.2T will be more expensive
Among the two fuel vehicles of Toyota Ralink, the 1.2T model has the best sales of the "2022 185T CVT Technology Edition" with a guidance price of 139,800 yuan, it is a top-end model, with a 12.1-inch central control screen, HUD head-up display, automatic air conditioning and automatic air conditioning and other functions, all aspects of the configuration are relatively perfect; and the 1.5L model, also with the top "2022 TNGA 1.5L CVT Sports Edition" the best sales, The guidance price is 131,800 yuan, in addition to the maximum 121 horsepower engine, the power performance is better than 1.2T, in other configurations and functions are slightly inferior, but it is also the most complete configuration of the model. Therefore, we use these two cars as an analysis model.
In terms of insurance costs, after all, the price of Toyota Ralink 1.2T models is higher, and obviously the premiums required will be more expensive. In terms of commercial insurance, we chose 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance, and then counting the compulsory insurance and vehicle and ship tax, then the average first year insurance cost of the 1.2T model is almost 5500 yuan, while the first year of the 1.5L model's premium is about 5400 yuan, and their premium is only 100 yuan. And if the vehicle is not insured in the future, the insurance cost will also have a decreasing discount year by year, so as the service life increases, the premium gap between the two cars will become smaller and smaller.
Self-priming is less mind-free than turbo? But there is no difference in maintenance prices
The naturally aspirated engine on the 1.5L model is generally more dominant in maintenance than the 1.2T turbocharged engine, and is the same true on toyota Ralink? Specifically, the maintenance interval of the 1.5L model is 10,000 kilometers, the first guarantee in addition to the oil machine filter, but also need to replace the brake fluid, small maintenance to spend about 150 yuan; in addition, with the increase in service life, there are air filters, air conditioning filters and transmission oil and other consumables need to be replaced, of which, the maintenance is about 730 yuan, the large maintenance is about 1240 yuan. Therefore, the total maintenance cost of the first 60,000 kilometers of the 1.5L model is almost 3900 yuan, and the average annual is 1300 yuan.
The maintenance and accessories replacement cycle of the 1.2T model is consistent with 1.5L, which is also 10,000 kilometers of maintenance, and the small maintenance includes the replacement of the oil machine filter and brake fluid, and the maintenance also includes air filter, air conditioning filter, large maintenance mainly replaces the transmission oil, etc., but its accessories replacement cost is relatively more expensive, the small insurance is about 160 yuan, the middle insurance is about 740 yuan, and the large insurance is about 1300 yuan. The total cost of maintenance for driving 60,000 kilometers is about 4,000 yuan, and it costs an average of 1,333 yuan per year. It can be seen that the maintenance cost of Toyota Ralink's 1.5L and 1.2T models is relatively economical in the same class, and the gap between the two cars is not large, only 33 yuan per year.
Only talk about fuel costs, turbocharging is still more
The difference in maintenance seems to carry over to the cost of oil. Toyota Ralink has always performed very well in fuel saving, 1.5L and 1.2T models under the NEDC standard, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 5.2L and 5.6L, respectively, which belongs to the lower level of the same class of models. According to our testing findings, the actual fuel consumption of these two cars is 6.7L and 7L per 100 kilometers, which still maintains its fuel economy.
After experiencing the continuous rise in oil prices some time ago, the current price of No. 92 gasoline per liter is stable at about 8.6 yuan. If you take the family car to drive 20,000 kilometers a year, the annual fuel cost of the 1.5L and 1.2T models is almost 11,500 yuan and 12,000 yuan. It can be seen that the difference between the two cars is about 500 yuan a year, on average, the difference is only about 42 yuan per month, and the impact on daily use of cars is very small.
summary
After the above calculations, we roughly conclude that toyota Leiling's 1.2T and 1.5L models have a yearly car maintenance cost of about 18,000 yuan, but the 1.2T model seems to be about 600 yuan higher, which has a certain relationship with the relatively lower fuel consumption of 1.5L. However, on average, the cost of car maintenance for two cars is only a double-digit gap every month, basically maintaining the same level of use. Therefore, for the choice of Toyota Ralink 1.2T and 1.5L models, do not have to struggle with which car is more fuel-efficient, but you can look at the power, configuration, etc., and choose the one that suits you.
