In the era of fuel vehicles, the domestic car configuration is high, the book data is better than the joint venture car, some consumers will say that the domestic car will only "pile up" and do not pay attention to mechanical quality; in the era of pure electric vehicles, the book data of the joint venture car is generally very good, and the preferential margin is also very large, and even the configuration is higher than the domestic car, at this time some consumers will jump out and say that the joint venture license plate is hard, cost-effective, buy it.
It may sound a bit exaggerated, but this is a car buying story that happened recently to me, a friend with a budget of 150,000 yuan, entangled in the Buick micro blue 6, BYD Qin PLUS EV two pure electric products. So from the product strength, price, configuration and other aspects of the analysis, in the end who is better to buy?
After the discount, the price is almost the same, and the micro blue 6 with better power is really more worth it?
BYD Qin PLUS EV and Micro Blue 6 are quite different in product style, Qin PLUS EV is an avant-garde design, sporty pure electric sedan, the identity of the sedan makes it look more harmonious and durable; the micro blue 6 is positioned as a compact hatchback, but the smooth lines and some sneakback shapes look more like a station wagon. In terms of body size, Qin PLUS EV has more advantages regardless of length and wheelbase, which also makes its actual riding performance more spacious than the micro blue 6. However, thanks to the shape of the large hatchback, the trunk of the slight blue 6 can be extended to a maximum of 1098L, coupled with a large opening, the loading capacity of the daily car is more powerful and more practical.
According to what we learned, in the choice of pure electric models, the choice of Buick Micro Blue 6 2022 Connected Smart Plus (184,900 yuan) is the most users, but combined with the actual situation, the discounted price is actually closer to the Qin PLUS EV 2021 EV 500KM luxury type (148,800 yuan), so we select these two models for relevant comparisons to see what the differences are, see the following table:
It can be seen that the difference between the two cars in the configuration is small, in the practical configuration of the Qin PLUS EV more mobile phone wireless charging, rear central armrest / cup holder, etc., but compared to the slight blue 6, and the lack of front seat heating, mobile phone mapping and other functions, but BYD many models have always had a rotatable central control screen, remote driving is more attractive to young people. Therefore, from a comprehensive point of view, there are wins and losses in the configuration of the two vehicles, and how to choose depends on the actual needs of the user. However, in general, the performance of the two vehicles in terms of safety configuration, practical configuration, and technology configuration is still relatively rich, and it can be well satisfied with daily life or want to have a scientific and technological experience.
We continue to compare the power and endurance of the two vehicles, from the above table can be clearly seen that the buick micro blue 6 power performance is better, the higher power motor brings better acceleration performance, 0-50km acceleration is 2.4 seconds faster than the Qin PLUS EV, the advantage is very obvious.
In terms of batteries, looking at the battery type alone, the ternary lithium battery of the micro blue 6 is better, but do not forget that BYD started with the battery after all, and the lithium iron phosphate blade battery equipped with Qin PLUS EV is the leading level in china in terms of safety and energy density. More importantly, from the current larger amount of Qin PLUS EV product reputation, the vehicle has not yet appeared too many battery problems, battery attenuation is also within a reasonable range, so from the perspective of stability, Qin PLUS EV is more mature and reliable.
In addition, the choice of pure electric car friends for the vehicle warranty, battery warranty problems are relatively concerned, and in this regard, qin PLUS EV policy is undoubtedly thicker than the micro blue 6, battery pack to achieve the first owner unlimited mileage / years of warranty, in addition to allowing consumers to see BYD's confidence in their own battery quality, I believe it is easier to let consumers eat reassurance pills, dispel safety doubts.
In terms of terminal price, Qin PLUS EV has not had any discount for a long time, but this also from another point of view, this car is relatively more valuable. In contrast, the price of Buick Micro Blue 6 looks quite good, according to our investigation of The relevant information of Buick 4S stores, Micro Blue 6 can do up to 8.1 discount, so Micro Blue 6 2022 Connected Wisdom Plus (184,900 yuan) The final actual terminal price and Qin PLUS 2021 EV 500KM luxury type (148,800 yuan) are only more than 1,000 yuan apart, which has almost no impact on buying a car.
In terms of installments, Micro Blue 6 provides a down payment of 50%, 24 periods of interest-free, the down payment amount after the discount is less than 70,000 yuan, the monthly payment is less than 3,000 yuan, if the down payment amount is not much, but the cash flow is sufficient, the installment of the car is believed to be more cost-effective, the details can be seen in the following table:
In terms of car sources, the micro blue 6 hot model has enough cars, basically can buy the same day to drive away, and the current car situation of Qin PLUS EV is not very good, there is no existing car in some areas, it takes about 15 days to book, and friends who buy a car may need some patience.
Finally, let's take a look at the maintenance of the two cars and the information of the used car:
The first insurance of Qin PLUS EV is carried out at 12000km, and the maintenance interval after that is 12000km, the price of small maintenance is 320 yuan, and the total maintenance cost of 60000km for three years is about 2300 yuan, an average of about 767 yuan per year, which is the lowest level in the same level.
The maintenance cycle of the micro blue 6 pure electric model is 10000km or 6 months, the small maintenance price is 150 yuan, and the total maintenance cost of 60000km for three years is about 1800 yuan, which is about 600 yuan per year on average, which is slightly cheaper than the Qin PLUS EV, but the impact is not large.
This 2021 Qin PLUS EV, which has traveled 30,000 kilometers and is currently selling for 134,000 yuan, is not very informative because this car has not been on the market for a long time, but for a pure electric model, BYD's retention rate is not bad.
This 2019 5-year-old Buick micro blue 6, almost 3 years, traveled 43,000 kilometers, and now buys 88,800 yuan, combined with the guidance price at that time and the current discount price, the residual value rate is higher, but it is also in line with the current situation of the low retention rate of pure electric vehicles.
summary:
On the surface, Buick's rich configuration, strong power, large concessions, and the identity of the joint venture car make it seem more cost-effective. However, in the pure electric car market, consumers are most concerned about the price and the three-electric system, in this regard, Qin PLUS EV strength is strong, the three-electric technology is leading, the battery safety is high, and more importantly, it also provides a battery "lifetime warranty", which can be said to almost solve most of the user's car buying pain points, and it is easier to win the hearts of the people. Therefore, in the case of close price, if it is not a special love for joint venture cars, Qin PLUS EV is still the most reasonable and stable choice for most users.
