It doesn't seem surprising that ultra-luxury brands build SUVs, after all, there are already compact SUV models such as the Porsche Macan laying the foundation in front, and now the arrival of the Maserati Grecale seems to be deserved. In terms of price, the Maserati Grecale is close to the starting price of 640,000 yuan, although the pricing is higher than the Macan, but after counting the Porsche installation, the terminal price of the two cars may be at the same level. However, after the price is equal, Maserati Grecale, as a latecomer, has a better performance in terms of product strength. In terms of space, Grecale's body length of more than 4.8 meters is larger than that of The Macan; in terms of configuration, Grecale's reversing image, keyless entry and CarPlay and other functions, Macan needs to add extra money to choose; and power, the benchmark Macan's 2.0T and 2.9T high and low power engines, Grecale, whether it is the entry of 2.0T low power, or the high-performance version of the 3.0T, the power performance is better than the Macan. Of course, while choosing Gregarte to get a better product force experience, it also needs to bear the "consequences" of quality control and retention rate, so in addition, in the later car maintenance costs, does Maserati Grecale also have to pay a higher cost than Porsche Macan?
Just look at the price of naked cars, Grecale insurance is more expensive
The most concerned in the Porsche Macan is the entry-level version of the "2022 Macan 2.0T" with a guidance price of 554,000 yuan, considering that the insurance is directly related to the price of the car, we are here to choose the "2022 2.0T GT" (638,800 yuan) with a similar guidance price in the Maserati Grecale to analyze the insurance cost of the two cars.
In the insurance sector, after choosing the three types of insurance of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, and then counting the car and boat tax of 420 yuan, then after purchasing Maserati Grecale, the insurance cost in the first year is almost close to 11,000 yuan. If we assume that there has been no accident for three years, it is called insurance, and after calculating the discount of the insurance company year by year, the total insurance cost required for three years is almost 27500 yuan, and it will cost more than 9100 yuan a year. After buying the Porsche Macan with the same insurance, the annual insurance cost is about 8400 yuan. In contrast, the annual premium of the two cars is close to 700 yuan, corresponding to their difference of more than 80,000 yuan in the guide price, such an insurance difference is not too large.
Supercar brand maintenance is the same as ordinary SUVs, that is, more expensive
Although it is an SUV model under the ultra-luxury brand, the maintenance cycle and accessories of the Maserati Grecale and Porsche Macan are basically not much different from ordinary home SUVs, but the cost will be more expensive. In terms of maintenance cycles, maserati Grecale, like Porsche Macan, is maintained every 100,000 kilometers. However, in the cost of replacement of accessories, Grecale carries out routine small maintenance such as replacing the oil machine filter, and the labor cost is about 3000 yuan, while Macan only needs more than 1600 yuan. In addition, as the mileage increases, it is also necessary to pay attention to the replacement of vulnerable parts of the vehicle, including air conditioning filters, air filters, spark plugs and transmission oil.
If you travel 60,000 kilometers in three years for a large maintenance cycle, after the same 6 maintenance, the total maintenance cost of Maserati Grecale in three years is close to about 20,000 yuan, the average annual maintenance is about 6,600 yuan, and the total maintenance cost of Porsche Macan for three years is more than 15,000 yuan, which only needs 5200 yuan per year. It can be seen that although the frequency of maintenance of the two cars is the same, due to the higher fee of Maserati Grecale, the annual maintenance cost is also about 1400 yuan.
Driving on Maserati, Porsche, still worried about high fuel costs?
Maserati Grecale in the WLTC conditions, the comprehensive fuel consumption performance of 8.7L / 100km, but with reference to the Levante 2.0T close to 14L / 100km of the actual fuel consumption, considering the Grecalle power adjustment, as well as body size and other factors, Grecale's future actual fuel consumption is likely to be maintained at 12L / 100km, we are here according to the Grecile 12L fuel consumption to calculate. In addition, according to user feedback, the actual fuel consumption of Porsche Macan is almost 11L/100km. As an ultra-luxury brand SUV, both cars naturally need to be filled with No. 95 gasoline, the current price is 8.8 yuan / L, of course, many car owners will also choose no. 98 gasoline with a higher fuel number for the vehicle. Assuming that the annual driving is 20,000 kilometers, the cost of fuel in Maserati Grecale is about 21,000 yuan a year, while the Porsche Macan needs nearly 20,000 yuan. In contrast, the fuel cost of the two cars is only about 1,000 yuan apart, and the gap is relatively small.
summary
Combining our above calculations, it can be concluded that the annual car maintenance cost of Maserati Grecale is about 36700 yuan, while the Porsche Macan is 336000 yuan, which is about 3000 yuan difference. It can be seen that although the cost of Gregale in all aspects is higher than that of Macan, in total, the difference is less than 300 yuan per month, and compared to their price of more than 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, such a car gap does not seem to be worth mentioning. If you are willing to bear the problems of Maserati's late quality control and poor retention rate, you may be able to boldly choose the Maserati Grecale with better product strength, and do not have to worry too much about the cost of the car in the later stage will be too high than that of the Porsche Macan.
