The recent sale of the Xiaopeng P7 Black Label Edition "Dark Rider" limited edition model is to commemorate the 100,000th P7 of Xiaopeng. It can be seen that since its listing in 2020, Xiaopeng P7 has handed over a good report card. And unlike the general low-end models, high-end models are often in the field of fuel vehicles that do not have many fans, and the high-end models of Xiaopeng P7 are often the favorites of consumers. Like the 2020 670N model and the 2022 670N+ model, the price is as high as 280,000, but it has still become a hot sale.
The Black Label Edition edition version of the Xiaopeng P7 not only adopts the "Black Samurai" design style, but also sells a limited edition of 427 units, which naturally attracts everyone's attention. It is based on the Xiaopeng P7 670E+ version of the model, after the "blackening" of the vehicle model is more personalized than the ordinary model. Of course, the intelligent advantages of the original ordinary version of the model are not less, the intelligent cockpit interaction is smooth, the response speed can also keep up with the pace of dialogue, and it is also equipped with Danna audio and rear privacy glass.
It is worth mentioning its automatic driving system, equipped with XPIRAT 3.0 intelligent auxiliary driving system can realize the mobile phone remote control parking, automatic parking and ATC adaptive curve cruising and other functions. It is important that subscribers can enjoy the 36,000 yuan worth of XPILOT 3.0 software and upgrade services, as well as the rights and interests of battery lifetime warranty, which is still very attractive to consumers. After all, even if you directly purchase this software service when buying a car, you still need to spend an extra 20,000 yuan. However, the price of the limited edition is also more expensive than the ordinary version, which has reached 329,900 yuan. Obviously, individuality comes at a "price". So whether this "cost" is high or not, what is the difference between the cost of the limited edition and the ordinary version in the car, and then we analyze it from the aspects of insurance, maintenance and energy consumption.
Limited edition price is high, but the premium is acceptable?
The price of the car has a direct impact on the cost of insurance, so it is foreseeable that this limited edition will have a higher premium than the regular version. The Xiaopeng P7 670E+ Black Label Edition edition is priced at 329,900 yuan, and our first-year premium is about 7,200 yuan 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, we calculate based on the standard premium of 20% off in the second year and 30% off in the third year, the total cost of the 2022 Xiaopeng P7 limited edition three-year insurance fee is about 18,000 yuan, and the average annual cost is about 6,000 yuan.

Among the hot models of 2022, sales of 480N+ and 670N+ models are very good. However, due to the large difference between the range of the 480N+ model and the limited edition model, it is still compared with the 670N+ model. From the perspective of the guidance price, the price of the 670N+ model is 285,900 yuan, which is different from the limited edition of 44,000 yuan. We still calculate by purchasing three major insurance types of 3 million, three liability insurance, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, and the first year premium is about 6720 yuan. Also calculated based on the standard premium of 20% off in the second year and 30% off in the third year, the total cost of insurance expenses for the 2022 Xiaopeng P7 670N+ model is about 16800 yuan, and the average annual premium is about 5600 yuan. It can be seen that the limited edition model is about 400 yuan more expensive than the average annual premium of the ordinary version, in fact, the difference is not large, which is acceptable to most users.
Limited edition and regular version, maintenance cost is no difference?
Since the Xiaopeng P7 Limited Edition and 670N+ use the same power system, there will be almost no difference in maintenance items. According to the maintenance manual of Xiaopeng P7, maintenance is performed every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers in the first year, a total of two times; after the second year, maintenance is carried out every 12 months or 10,000 kilometers. Of course, like most pure electric models, the first insurance of Xiaopeng p7 is free, and the main items are routine inspection and replacement of air conditioning filters.

In the first year or after driving 10,000 kilometers, every 10,000km or 12 months to carry out routine inspections and replace air conditioning filters, accessories plus working hours, such a small maintenance is about 370 yuan. In 2 years or driving 40,000 kilometers, you need to replace the transmission oil, brake oil and coolant, this larger maintenance general cost will be more expensive, about 1200 yuan. Fortunately, Xiaopeng P7 is free of charge in the routine inspection items, so the general small maintenance price is quite friendly. We take the general family car three years to drive 60,000km as the car cycle, Xiaopeng P7 in three years of maintenance costs about 3,050 yuan, the average year is about 1,010 yuan.
Electricity is almost the same, with free supercharge can be more economical?
In addition to enjoying some configuration upgrades, there is no specific information about the Xiaopeng P7 Limited Edition in terms of charging service policies for reference, so we regard it as consistent with conventional models, that is, enjoying a lifetime free charging service of 1,000 kWh of electricity per year. Of course, not all supercharge stations can be charged for free, so the energy consumption part is still calculated in the form of household charging pile charging.
According to our survey, the actual power consumption of Xiaopeng P7 "2022 670N+" is about 15.3kWh, while the motor, battery pack and 670N+ model of the limited edition model are also consistent, so the energy consumption will not be too big a gap. We calculate the electricity cost required for Xiaopeng P7 670N+ based on the current household electricity consumption of about 0.56 yuan / kWh. With the family car driving 60,000 kilometers in three years as a cycle, the electricity cost of the Xiaopeng P7 670N+ model is about 5140 yuan, the average annual electricity bill is about 1713 yuan, and on average, it is about 143 yuan per month. Of course, if you can use the free supercharging station, this cost can be saved a little. Similarly, the difference between the P7 limited edition and the 670N+ version in terms of electricity costs will not be very large.
summary
We add up the above maintenance costs, insurance costs and electricity costs, and we can calculate that the cost of the Xiaopeng P7 limited edition for three years driving 60,000km is about 26,200 yuan, and the average annual cost of the car is about 8,700 yuan. Compared with the average annual cost of the 670N+ version of about 8300 yuan, there is actually only a gap in the average annual premium.
There is not much gap in terms of car use, and the limited edition model comes with XPIRAT 3.0 software, does not need to spend extra money to choose a smart music cockpit, and has a more distinctive shape. For some consumers who want to buy 670N+ models, they have to choose XPILOT 3.0 software anyway, and perhaps limited edition models are also worth choosing.
