As a brother model of AION Y with the same platform, many electrification technologies come from GAC Aean, so in many comment areas, some netizens ridiculed it as Aion Y shell change. However, with the hot sales of AION Y, the recent Hechuang Z03 has also ushered in the peak of sales, the delivery volume in March reached 1689 units, the order volume in March exceeded 3000 units, and the official gave a year-on-year growth data of up to 8000%, which sounds very exaggerated, but it is undeniable that Hechuang Z03 did seize some opportunities. Therefore, Hechuang Automobile took advantage of this Dongfeng to launch the 2022 new Hechuang Z03 a few days ago, which was priced at 132,800 yuan after subsidies.
Compared with the 2021 Hechuang Z03, the new car has not changed much in terms of shape and power, but it has been adjusted for configuration and price, of which long endurance is still the main feature, less than 140,000 can buy CLTC endurance 510km models, less than 160,000 can buy CLTC endurance 620km models, and the new car is still bright in terms of technology, equipped with a 10.25-inch dashboard + 14.6-inch central control screen is not only full of technology, but also has a fairly high practicality. Very good value for money. Of course, while having a strong product force, consumers are also more concerned about the cost of vehicles, so is Hechuang Z03 cheaper to use? Below we will carry out and analyze its maintenance, insurance, and energy consumption.
First year insurance 5,004, normal level
The new Z03 has just been launched, although we do not have its insurance price information for the time being, but according to the insurance price of the old model, the insurance cost of the new car can be estimated, taking the "2022 Chaozhi Edition 510km" priced at 158,800 yuan as an example.
According to the results of the investigation of insurance costs, the new Z03 has a total premium of about 5400 yuan in the first year after purchasing three major insurance types of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance. If there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced after that, we calculate with a 20% discount in the second year of the standard premium and a 30% discount in the third year, and the total premium of the new Z03 in three years is about 13500 yuan, and the average one year is about 4500 yuan, which is the average in the same level.
The inspection fee is 100 yuan, and the maintenance of Hechuang Z03 is more economical than AION Y
According to our survey, the maintenance cycle of Z03 and AION Y is basically the same, the initial insurance time is 5000km or 3 months, and it is necessary to carry out routine inspection of the three-electric system. After that, regular maintenance is required every 10,000km or 12 months, and the price is 100 yuan. The replacement cycle of air conditioning filter element is 20000km or 12 months; the replacement cycle of gear oil is 60000km; the replacement cycle of antifreeze and antifreeze is 40000km, and the price ranges from 100-400 yuan.
We take the general family driving 60,000km for three years as the car cycle, and the total maintenance cost of the Z03 three years is about 2800 yuan, an average of about 933 yuan per year. Overall, the cost of the Z03 car is very cheap, three years later, it costs about 1,000 yuan less than the brother model, mainly because the routine inspection fee of 100 yuan saves the owner a lot of money, in addition to a longer maintenance cycle and less replacement of accessories is also a big advantage.
About 4 yuan a day electricity bill, cheaper than taking the bus?
In addition to the top model, the new Z03 is equipped with a 135kW drive motor, and depending on the model version, the CLTC has a cruising range of 430, 510km, and 620km. According to our survey, the energy consumption of the new car is about 13.5kWh / 100 km, we calculate the electricity cost of the new Hechuang Z03 based on the current household electricity consumption of about 0.56 yuan / kWh, the total electricity cost of 60000km in three years is 4536 yuan, the average annual electricity bill is 1512 yuan, the average monthly electricity bill is 126 yuan, and the average daily electricity bill is about 4 yuan.
It can be seen that the electricity level of Hechuang Z03 is good, slightly lower than AION Y, which may be related to the car habits of car owners. However, due to the cheap price of electricity, the few hundred yuan saved in three years has almost no impact on the user's daily car maintenance. In addition, even if the user does not have a household charging pile, need to go outdoors to charge the more expensive public charging pile, I believe that the cost of electricity will not be very expensive, and it will not increase the burden of too many car owners.
epilogue:
Adding up the estimated maintenance costs, insurance costs and energy consumption, we can calculate that the cost of the new Z03 for driving 60,000km for three years is about 20,836 yuan, an average of about 6,945 yuan per year, and an average of about 579 yuan per month. Overall, As a "shell change" model of GAC AION Y, Hechuang Z03 has continued its consistent advantages in terms of car costs, and even performed better in maintenance and energy consumption, with a monthly cost of nearly 70 yuan, coupled with the good cost performance of the product itself, it is reasonable to achieve good sales in the near future, and for consumers who do not care about the brand and the cost of the car, Hechuang Z03 does provide a new choice for everyone.
