Spending 160,000 yuan to buy a mainstream joint venture B-class car, in addition to the popular Japanese car, the Recently Replaced Ford Mondeo is also a good choice. The whole series is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT powertrain, which can also bring certain driving pleasure on the basis of satisfying the family, and the body length of nearly 5 meters is also relatively large in the B-class car, and the blessing of intelligent configuration makes its product strength in all aspects very outstanding. In addition, the popular designs such as large-size mid-mesh, through-line taillights and dual screens on the new car are not far behind. However, many friends are worried that in today's oil price soaring, Ford Mondeo's excellent power may bring unaffordable car maintenance costs. So, let's take a look at it today, 2.0T Mondeo, in the end, it must be very expensive to raise?
Insurance and Camry, Tianlai a price?
The new Ford Mondeo has 4 configurations to choose from, although the entry-level version also has 2.0T power, as well as electric sunroof, keyless entry and other functions, can meet the needs of power and basic car use, but the short double screen looks more or less obstructive, it is better to spend more than 20,000 yuan to choose a higher gear of "luxury", not only "pull" the screen, upgrade the safety configuration, and more than 18-inch rims, automatic partition air conditioning and other functions, can be regarded as value for money, and then add money to buy high-end models, Although it can have a better car experience, it is ultimately less cost-effective. Therefore, we will use Mondeo's low-end "luxury" as an analysis model here.
The guiding price of Mondeo's "luxury type" is 179,800 yuan, in the insurance piece, we take 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance as commercial insurance coverage, and then calculate the cost of paying compulsory insurance and vehicle and boat tax, the insurance cost of Mondeo in the first year is about 6,000 yuan. If the follow-up driving does not come out of insurance, the premium will be reduced by 20% in the second year and 30% in the third year, so the cost of Mondeo's three-year insurance cost is almost 15,000 yuan, an average of about 5,000 yuan per year, and this premium price is basically at the same level as Nissan Tianlai and Toyota Camry.
It's all 10,000 kilometers of maintenance, but the cost is much higher than the Camry?
Although ford Mondeo has just been listed, considering that it is a 2.0T+8AT powertrain like EVOS, the post-maintenance cycle and part replacement costs are expected to be similar. From the official maintenance manual, the first warranty of Mondeo should be carried out at 5,000 kilometers, and the subsequent maintenance interval is 10,000 kilometers. In addition to the first guarantee can replace the oil filter for free, the follow-up small maintenance costs nearly 800 yuan. In addition, when driving to 35,000 kilometers, it is also necessary to replace the fuel filter and spark plug, which costs about 750 yuan, and when it is 55,000 kilometers, it is necessary to replace the transmission oil, brake oil and other accessories for major maintenance, the cost is relatively high, and it costs almost 2500 yuan to do it once.
If you travel 60,000 kilometers in 3 years for a large maintenance cycle, then in these three years, Mondeo will probably have to carry out 6 maintenance, the total maintenance cost is about 7,000 yuan, on average, it takes almost 2,300 yuan per year. Although the maintenance interval of Mondeo is as long as that of camry, the annual maintenance cost is nearly 1,000 yuan higher, and even more than the 5,000 km of a guarantee of nature.
2.0T really costs oil?
After all, Japanese cars are often known for their fuel saving and durability, in addition to the maintenance cost of Ford Mondeo is higher than that of Camry and Tianlai, the fuel consumption performance does not seem to be as economical as their economy, but after all, the horsepower output of Mondeo 2.0T is much better than that of the 2.0L Camry and Tianlai, and the high fuel consumption is also understandable. Under the WLTC test standard, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of Mondeo "luxury" is 7.11L, referring to the actual fuel consumption performance of EVOS close to 10L, the actual fuel consumption of the smaller Mondeo may reach about 8L. Although the current price of No. 92 gasoline remains at 8.7 yuan / L, according to the development trend of oil prices, there may be a slight reduction in the near future, and car owners and friends can look forward to it.
Here we calculate the fuel consumption of 8L/100km and the oil price of 8.7 yuan/L, according to the mileage of 20,000 kilometers driven by the family car a year, the fuel cost of Mondeo is about 14,000 yuan a year. Although the cost of nearly 1200 yuan per month in Mondeo is not high, it is slightly higher than the oil cost of more than 1100 yuan per month in Tianlai, and the gap is more obvious than the oil cost of the Camry in the early 1,000 yuan.
summary
Adding up all the costs of all the above calculations, we can conclude that the cost of ford Mondeo to maintain a car a year is about 21,000 yuan, and on average, it only needs about 1750 yuan per month, which is a relatively economical level in B-class cars. Although there is still a certain gap compared with mainstream Japanese cars, compared with toyota Camry, the annual car maintenance cost is about 2,000 yuan more. However, evenly shared to each month, Mondeo is less than 200 yuan, which will not bring much burden of car maintenance, and can also experience 2.0T power and more driving space, which is also worth it for car owners.
