Buying a car in the early 100,000s, who is the most "door-picking" of these two owners?

(The electric vehicle market is gradually strengthening, more and more people are buying electric vehicles, and the topic of who saves money on electric vehicles and fuel vehicles is also constantly debated.) Based on this, EV Car Life and Used Car Xiao Fat jointly launched a new column based on the comprehensive calculation of daily car cost + second-hand car use depreciation cost to calculate the real cost of vehicle use. ）

The question of how to buy a car to save money is something we have been studying in depth. In the first three periods, we compared different brands of the same level of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles; the same brand of the same price of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles; as well as the same price of fuel, electric, hybrid, extended range of a variety of energy sources, each time the results are somewhat unexpected. (Interested can read our previous articles)

This time, we chose a more accessible 150,000-class sedan, and there is also a model that can only be refueled but is purely electric in addition to electric vehicles.

Well, do not sell Guanzi, the first car we chose this time is Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi e-POWER, which is a new energy form that is different from previous models, with the engine to provide energy for the battery and the motor, the engine is not directly driven by the vehicle, this form also makes this car achieve ultra-low urban fuel consumption performance. The second car chose GAC Aion S, which is also a pure electric vehicle model with very good sales and a high cost performance.

Xuanyi e-POWER guidance price of 138,900-174,900 yuan, the current discount is about 8,000 yuan;

AION S subsidy after the price of 139,800-179,800 yuan, there is no discount at present. The actual price range of the two cars is very close to the size of the vehicle, etc., in addition to the different indicators, it can almost be regarded as a direct competitor. Then let's take a look at these two very low-cost cars, who can afford less.

Comparing the standard, we still continue to use 3 years and 60,000 kilometers as the standard for conventional vehicles (standardized and equivalent use status comparison). In the future, we will continue to enrich the comparative dimensions, such as parameters such as 120,000 kilometers in 6 years, so stay tuned.

The cost of daily use of the car, maintenance, premium cost is close!

Next, it is still the daily car cost that you have to continue to spend after buying a car. Although the Xuanyi e-POWER is driven by an electric motor, the entire series is equipped with a 1.2L three-cylinder engine, which still needs to be routinely maintained.

The first warranty is 5,000 km or 6 months, followed by maintenance every 10,000 km. In the case of using the cheaper 0W-20 SN official engine oil, Xuanyi e-POWER's 3 years and 60,000 kilometers of maintenance require a total of 3701 yuan, and the small maintenance is 372 yuan, which is cheaper than the fuel version of Xuanyi, and in the joint venture model, it is also a relatively low maintenance cost.

In terms of premiums, taking the 2022 electric version of the e-POWER Full Electric Drive Pro priced at 138,900 yuan as an example, in the case of 1 million of the three, the commercial insurance is about 4120 yuan, the traffic insurance is 950 yuan, the total premium is about 5070 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 12675 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30%). The vehicle and vessel use tax is 420 yuan per year, for a total of 1260 yuan for three years.

In terms of fuel consumption, as an e-POWER model driven directly by the motor, the engine can achieve the best use efficiency, so it has ultra-low fuel consumption, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 3.9L/100km, and can add No. 92 gasoline, can eat "coarse grain" and save fuel, which is perfect. Taking the Beijing oil price at the date of writing as an example, The No. 92 gasoline is 8.74 yuan / liter, and at 60,000 kilometers, the fuel cost is about 20452 yuan, and the average annual fuel cost is about 6817 yuan. However, here we still want to emphasize the energy consumption characteristics of Xuanyi e-POWER, driving at low speed in the city is more fuel-efficient, and high speed is more fuel-intensive, referring to the road conditions of your own usual car, you can know whether it is higher than the value we calculated or will be lower.

Comprehensive calculation, Xuanyi e-POWER's daily use cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years is about 38,088 yuan, and the average per kilometer is only 0.63 yuan, which can be said to be very provincial. Next, let's look at the daily car cost of the AION S.

AION S is maintained every 10,000 kilometers, although there is no oil filter, etc., but the inspection fee has reached 300 yuan each time, and the price of brake oil, antifreeze and gear oil is higher, so in fact, the maintenance cost has reached 4450 yuan, which is higher than Xuanyi e-POWER.

In terms of premiums, taking the 2022 Model Xuan 530 priced at 139,800 yuan as an example, in the case of 1 million yuan of the three, the commercial insurance is about 4233 yuan, the compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan, the total premium is about 5183 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 12958 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30% discount). Since it is a pure electric model, the AION S does not have a vehicle and vessel use tax.

In terms of energy consumption, the use scenario we set for AION S is 80:20 for slow charging and fast charging, and most of the consumers who buy this car are also for home use, and almost all of them can install charging piles at home. The official combined energy consumption of AION S is 12.9kWh/100km. Among them, the slow charging fee is 0.4883 yuan / kWh in Beijing, and the fast charging is calculated in the most expensive time period of the State Grid, which is 1.8 yuan / kWh.

After calculation, it can be seen that AION S spends about 3024 yuan on slow charging at 60,000 kilometers, about 2786 yuan in fast charging, and about 5810 yuan in comprehensive costs, with an average annual charging cost of about 1937 yuan.

Comprehensive calculation, the daily use cost of AION S in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers is about 23,218 yuan, an average of only 0.39 yuan per kilometer. In general, electric vehicles are still an advantage in terms of energy costs, even if this car is already a very fuel-efficient Xuanyi e-POWER. However, AION S does not actually show the advantages of electric vehicles in terms of maintenance costs, which should also be praised under Xuanyi e-POWER, and Dongfeng Nissan's cost control in after-sales maintenance is also quite good.

Next, it's still our big play, calculating the cost of used car loss for two cars.

3 years 60,000 kilometers of used car loss Pure electric disadvantage is obvious!

This time is still our familiar old friend, but also the authoritative expert in second-hand cars - used car small fat, brought by the depth of data analysis.

Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi definitely belongs to the "affordable male" standard model, the new car annual sales volume of more than 500,000 +, quietly has been one of the most sold single models, in the second-hand car market this car is also considered a best-selling evergreen, especially in 2-3 tier cities, family transportation, online dating, leasing are stable main models.

Normal appearance, adequate configuration, reasonable space, cheap accessories, stable quality, fuel saving, such a used car retention rate must be stable, although not as good as the hype models and Net red models of many of the anti-weather performance, but reliable and stable, Japanese home, Nissan Xuanyi, Toyota Corolla, Honda Fit such cars, from the launch of the performance is acceptable.

Xuanyi e-POWER, the use of super "hybrid", similar to the daily use habits of Toyota Corolla oil-electric hybrid, but not as popular and mature as Toyota technology, and the driving form is different, it remains to be observed by the market. In addition, the 3-cylinder engine is still worrying, but the current gasoline price cost, consumers at this price point are still very sensitive, all belong to the group that will live a life, and even have a lot of "tool car" considerations.

At present, the retention rate of Nissan Xuanyi e-POWER is between Xuanyi gasoline and joint venture Japanese electric vehicles, about three years is not necessarily as stable as the retention rate of fuel, but the overall systematized ultra-low cost of use and stability is the biggest advantage, if the later period is not in the 4S shop maintenance, the money saved will be more, 6 years later more advantageous.

3 years and 60,000 kilometers, the depreciation loss per kilometer is only 1.15 yuan, for the price of 100,000-150,000 cars, in the early days of rapid depreciation has been a good performance model.

AION S, the performance of these two years is more prominent, GAC independent models, Trumpchi's early retention rate performance is relatively tragic affected the overall GAC independent brand user cognition, the later shadow leopard hype is a bit too much, but the new GS8 or good reputation, used car market feedback progress and retention rate recovery.

GAC's early electric vehicles, such as the 2018 GE series, and the Changan, FAW, BAIC, Second Automobile, SAIC "transitional electric vehicle" problem of the year, take subsidies or innovation tests, the retention rate of used cars is really disappointing customers, resulting in the later progress of products to change the original customer impression is more difficult, coupled with the current manufacturers of these independent brand electric vehicles used cars are actually in the "sheep herding state", vehicle life cycle value management is not good.

Therefore, the current AION S or the same door of the same period of products in the second-hand car market have been subjected to a relatively large early negative impact, after all, "out of the mix sooner or later is to pay back": yes, and the price of electric vehicles in that year is high subsidies, cost-effective, and the retention rate is relatively poor.

The current AION S from the pricing to the performance of the point of view, the obvious price-performance improvement, the new car's cost-effective improvement, the natural performance of the second-hand car will change, which is also the law of value transmission, so we can not only refer to the early GE series of products for the next 3 years and 60,000 kilometers of the car, but also will not refer to the "special" performance of Tesla and Weilai.

So the parameter prediction and data, more reference to the same level of models, medium to upper performance, the later with the maturity of the product, the service channel advantages reflected, the manufacturer's second-hand car management improvement, will promote the retention rate of this car, so at present, 3 years 60,000 kilometers per kilometer depreciation loss of 1.54 yuan, is more reasonable, and the early product ratio, this is already the speed of progress!

150,000 cars, it is the province of the province!

Finally, we use the cost of the car and the discount price of the vehicle to comprehensively calculate the actual cost of 4 cars for 3 years and 60,000 kilometers.

If it is the cost of daily use, Nissan Xuanyi e-POWER, although its accessories are cheap, less problems, but after all, there is a three-cylinder engine, the cost of maintenance must also have, but compared to AION S, Xuanyi this car 3 years 60,000 kilometers maintenance cost is actually cheaper than the tram, if you consider the cost and concerns of the future battery, in fact, it may make you entangled!

The price of gasoline for burning oil has risen sharply, but brothers who charge it, won't the price of electricity increase? The government subsidies are gone, and the wool is still out of the sheep, you say? If with the increase in the penetration rate of electric vehicles and the improvement of service channels, it is entirely possible for GAC to lower the cost of use of AION S to make up for the depreciation loss of the retention rate, which is good management.

Comparing the daily costs, the main difference in the cost of Xuanyi e-POWER and AION S is the difference between gasoline and electricity, and the other differences are not large.

The performance depreciation relative to second-hand cars is completely a one-sided advantage of Xuanyi, but because these two cars are affordable types, even if the depreciation difference is "relatively high", the absolute value is not large, and the difference of a few cents will be affected by many future changes.

Comprehensively, 3 years of 60,000 kilometers of normal use, Nissan Xuanyi e-POWER per kilometer comprehensive cost of 1.78 yuan, while GAC AION S comprehensive cost of 1.93 yuan, a gap of 0.15 yuan, may Xuanyi customers a thrill of the throttle to step on the advantage is gone, AION S electric vehicle customers if the use of online car mileage, the average spread, 3 years 300,000 kilometers, and then directly scrapped, revenue can completely cover these dime differences.

The road knows the horsepower, the accumulation of the gap, 60,000 kilometers, the difference of more than 8,000 yuan. In more than three years, you can change a flagship mobile phone, or run a month less online car with your family to rest. We ordinary people, this day mouth, eat poor, drink not poor, can not calculate, sometimes also suffer from poverty, you say?

Finally, we have to say that in this era of oil prices of 9 yuan, the actual comprehensive use cost of fuel vehicles will always be alternating compared with electric vehicles. If you want to continue to see the real combined cost of different models, remember to keep an eye on us! Stay tuned for the next issue and feel free to request it!
