(The electric vehicle market is gradually strengthening, more and more people are buying electric vehicles, and the topic of who saves money on electric vehicles and fuel vehicles is also constantly debated.) Based on this, EV Car Life and Used Car Xiao Fat jointly launched a new column based on the comprehensive calculation of daily car cost + second-hand car use depreciation cost to calculate the real cost of vehicle use. ）
This is our 7th phase of the comprehensive vehicle cost evaluation, the previous phases involved fuel, electric, hybrid, range and other energy forms, fuel vehicles and new energy tricks also have their own advantages and disadvantages. (If you want to see it, you can directly turn to the end of the article, there is a portal!) ）
This time, in view of the comparison between fuel vehicles and new energy, we once again chose two cars with high voices from netizens, BYDHan EV and Hongqi H9.
Although the energy forms of these two cars are different, they are both medium and large cars, and they are both self-established car companies with deep roots, and they also overlap in price. So let's have a "true and false" light showdown today to see who is better and who is more suitable for consumers in terms of comprehensive car costs.
BYD Han EV is priced at 214,800-329,800 yuan, and there is no discount for all models at present. Since the top four-wheel drive Qianshancui limited edition is a limited edition model, we chose its second top ev Genesis Edition 610KM four-wheel drive premium model, priced at 288,600 yuan.
Hongqi H9 is priced at 309,800-539,800 yuan, and there are basically no existing cars in 2022 at present, and the 2020 models on sale are cleaning up inventory, and the comprehensive discount can reach about 70,000 yuan.
Considering that the 2022 model is consistent with the 2020 guide price, and the comprehensive preferential treatment, purchase tax and other factors, the landing price of the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Enjoy Edition of the Hongqi H9 is close to the Han EV model we selected, and the guidance price of this car is 329,800 yuan.
Comparing the standard, we still continue to use 3 years and 60,000 kilometers as the standard for conventional vehicles (standardized and equivalent use status comparison). In the future, we will continue to enrich the comparative dimensions, such as parameters such as 120,000 kilometers in 6 years, so stay tuned.
Daily car costs, Han EV advantages are obvious, electric vehicles or incense!
We still first calculate the daily car cost of two cars, first of all, maintenance, BYD Han EV as a pure electric vehicle, will there be an advantage in this regard?
Han EV needs to do a first inspection when it is 5000 kilometers, and the first inspection is free. After that, maintenance is done every 10,000 kilometers starting from 10,000 kilometers. The advantage of no engine is that small maintenance is very simple, only need routine inspection and replacement of air conditioning filters, a small maintenance is only 266 yuan.
Han EV needs to do a major maintenance at 40,000 kilometers, replacing antifreeze, brake oil, and transmission oil. Taken together, HanEV in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, the maintenance cost is only 2654 yuan, the price is quite good.
In terms of premiums, in the case of 1 million yuan for the three, the HanEV Genesis Edition 610KM four-wheel drive premium type is about 6138 yuan for commercial insurance, 950 yuan for compulsory traffic insurance, the total premium is 7088 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 17720 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30% discount).
In terms of energy consumption, we set the use scenario for the ratio of slow charge to fast charge of 80:20. The official 100-kilometer power consumption of the Han EV four-wheel drive model is 14.9kWh, and the slow charging charge is 0.4883 yuan / kWh in Beijing as an example; the fast charging is calculated by the most expensive time period of the State Grid, which is 1.8 yuan / kWh. Through calculations, it is known that under the use of 60,000 kilometers, han EV costs about 3492 yuan for slow charging and about 3218 yuan for fast charging, with a total cost of 6710 yuan.
Comprehensive calculation, the daily use cost of 60,000 kilometers of BYDHan EV in 3 years is about 27,084 yuan, with an average of about 0.45 yuan per kilometer, which has a relatively low cost.
It is said that electric vehicles do not need maintenance, but almost all brands have routine inspections, and some inspection fees are also a lot of money, and BYD Han EV is not high in the price of routine inspections, which is still a compliment. Next, let's look at the daily car cost of the Hongqi H9.
The first is maintenance, Hongqi H9 is initially insured for 5,000 kilometers, and then every 10,000 kilometers. Since Hongqi H9 has 4 years and 100,000 kilometers of free basic maintenance, so in this time and distance, oil, machine filter are free. Calculated, the maintenance cost of Hongqi H9 in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers is only 2574 yuan.
Compared with many models of the same price, it is much lower, and even lower than the electric vehicle of HanEV. It has to be said that the vehicle policy still has a non-negligible impact on the cost of later use.
In terms of premiums, in the case of 1 million yuan for the three, the hongqi H9 2.0T Zhilian Banner Edition is about 5769 yuan for commercial insurance, 950 yuan for compulsory traffic insurance, the total premium is 6719 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 16798 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30% discount). The vehicle and vessel use tax is 480 yuan per year, for a total of 1440 yuan for three years.
In terms of energy consumption, the official NEDC fuel consumption of the Hongqi H9 2.0T model is 7.1L/100km, and the fuel consumption is not high, but it needs to add No. 95 gasoline. Oil prices take the Beijing oil price as the date of writing, for example, no. 95 gasoline is 8.83 yuan per liter. Through calculations, it is known that the Hongqi H9 2.0T model, under 60,000 kilometers, needs to spend about 37,616 yuan on fuel.
Comprehensive calculation, the daily use cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years of Hongqi H9 is about 58,428 yuan, with an average of about 0.97 yuan per kilometer. The cost of Hongqi H9 is also mainly in the cost of fuel, and its maintenance policy has brought good performance to the maintenance cost.
In terms of the daily use cost of 60,000 kilometers for two cars in 3 years, Hongqi H9 is more than 30,000 more than BYD Han EV, so how much difference can the two cars be in the depreciation cost of second-hand cars? Can Red Flag H9 win back a round?
3 years 60,000 kilometers of used car loss Hongqi H9 is even better
This time, our old friend, the used car Xiao Fat, brought the analysis of the retention rate of the two cars.
The retention rate of the second-hand car of the new generation of Hongqi models is obviously much better than that of the "old Hongqi", and the previous Hongqi, mentioning the second-hand car is simply not able to pull across. With the improvement of the new generation of Hongqi's products, especially the improvement of the after-sales system, it has a good role in promoting value preservation for its second-hand cars.
At present, Hongqi H9, the appearance of the atmosphere, the relative configuration is relatively high, if it is in accordance with the theory of MSRP retention rate, the performance is not good, but considering the landing price after the new car discount and the actual purchase price of the second-hand car, the Hongqi H9 car is OK, I am talking about only this model, not all models of the red flag.
At present, the number of second-hand car market Hongqi H9 second-hand cars is not much, the price volatility is still relatively large, thanks to the subsidy policy of the manufacturer's replacement, so the role of the 4S store to acquire the second-hand car "subsidy promotion" is still there, after all, for the second-hand 200,000 cars, the subsidy is 10,000 yuan, and the 5% retention rate within 3 years is still quite obvious.
However, the pricing of new cars is not low, when the sales pressure is large, the sales channels and large customer channels have a large number of "prices", especially online car-hailing and institutional cars, and in the next few years, batch will appear in the second-hand car market for centralized disposal, which will affect the phased second-hand car retention rate and price of this car.
After all, Hongqi H9, relative to the BBA level of Audi A6L there is still a certain gap, compared to the same level of second-tier luxury also has a certain vague positioning, used car customer groups are not accurate and loyal, if the quality stability and follow-up service can not keep up, there are still certain concerns, the current look is a bit similar to the embarrassing situation of FAW Toyota Crown, the new car performance is general, the second-hand market is OK, it takes time to prove.
Therefore, our current second-hand car residual value expectation is relatively a bit "overvalued", after all, the 2020 discount of 70,000-80,000 should also be a short-term behavior, and there will be no special black swan market in the next few years, and there should be no often 30% discount for new cars.
BYD Han EV, in fact, with the recent "tight supply" of electric vehicles or "speculation" is suspected, the second-hand car market also has a lot of people who take the opportunity to speculate on prices, but speculation will never last, and the road knows that horsepower is king.
In addition, the pure electric series is not limited by the environmental protection of the national six B, most of the BYD Han EV used cars, the first-line limited purchase of urban licenses, the second and third-line temperate zones and the above areas save money, so the second-hand car circulation city coverage is wide, the market feedback is still good.
BYD products and quality of the improvement, for its second-hand car performance improvement in our years of obvious progress in the past few years, although and the same level of new forces compared, cool B some equipment is not, but the balance and practicality, the sense of design is also good, so we can experience the advantages of electric vehicles at the same time do not need us to change the basis of car cognition, do not have to worry about "braking, failure, after-sales no one cares" and other issues.
It is no wonder that BYD has been developing rapidly all the way, but the second-hand car market is always a "mirror", some of the materials, quality, and brand problems of BYD's used car products in the early days, especially the brand reduction in the fuel car era still have an impact on second-hand cars, with the further development and changes in the future, we think BYD will get better and better, at least look at the development curve is OK.
Comprehensive cost, red flag is more luxurious, Han EV is more fashionable, saving money there is a gap
In the end, through the combined cost of use of the two vehicles, we calculated that the BYD Han EV was slightly better than the Hongqi H9.
Although the Hongqi H9 as a fuel vehicle has more advantages than the pure electric vehicle of HanEV in terms of retention rate, BYD relies on its brand power to make the gap between the two cars continue to shrink in the retention rate, so the actual difference in price is not much. Coupled with the large gap in energy consumption, BYD Han EV victory is also reasonable, and it is also logical to use the title of "light of domestic products".
If it is a BYD Han DM-i model, the retention rate of second-hand cars will be slightly better than that of pure electric vehicles, at least for now, but the retention rate advantage and the energy cost advantage of electric vehicles are one after another, and it should still be able to lead the Hongqi H9 with a little cost advantage per kilometer.
However, we cannot deny the achievements of Hongqi H9, beautiful design, and brand tonality, is still loved by many middle-aged feelings and mature consumers, brand value is not measured by money, a kilometer difference of 2 mao 2, but the feeling is still different ah!
Finally, the cost of two cars is also calculated, 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, BYD can save more than 10,000, if it is you, how do you choose?
Nowadays, money is becoming more and more difficult to earn, it seems that the difference is a little bit per kilometer, but long-termism, multiplied by scale, there is still a gap.
In the end, choose a more powerful and lower cost BYD? Or choose the more domineering-looking Red Flag H9?
Tell me the answer in the comments section!
