Landing 180,000 to buy a car, old elite or new Internet celebrity? What is the depreciation gap for used cars?

(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. ）

In the 8th comprehensive car cost assessment, we chose a recently popular model - the new Mondeo. The starting price is less than 160,000 yuan, and the whole series of 2.0T high-power engines, have to make people sigh, now the joint venture cars are so rolled up? It seems that there is no real effort, and it really can't keep consumers.

Then for Ford Mondeo, which has just been listed, there is a high degree of recognition of the B-class car, and the opponent we selected for it is a pure electric car - Xiaopeng P5.

The two cars have a high degree of overlap in the price range, although the P5 is positioned as an A-class car, but the wheelbase has also reached 2768mm, coupled with its optimization of space, it is very close to the performance of the B-class car.

So if you have a budget of 200,000 yuan, want to buy a car, and are still struggling with fuel or new energy, then your car purchase list, there is a high probability that these two cars will appear.

Then today we will take a look at two models with similar landing prices, one is a joint venture car of traditional old car companies, and the other is an autonomous car of new car-making forces, in the end, who can save you more costs in the later stage.

Ford Mondeo guidance price, 159,800-216,800 yuan; Xiaopeng P5 guidance price, 177,900-242,900 yuan. Mondeo chose the 2022 EcoBoost 245 fashion model of its most entry-level model of 159,800 yuan, and the Xiaopeng P5 chose the 2022 460G+ priced at 179,900 yuan.

After the Mondeo plus purchase tax landed, the price of the Xiaopeng P5 we chose was close, and then we will calculate the cost of their combined car through these two cars to see who can save more money.

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, Xiaopeng P5 has great advantages!

We still first calculate the daily car cost of the two cars, first of all, the popular dark horse Mondeo, still starting from maintenance.

Mondeo requires a basic check at 5000 km and is free of charge. 10,000 kilometers is the first guarantee, and then every 10,000 kilometers. According to the official maintenance recommendations, Mondeo has to do a major maintenance at 40,000 kilometers, and needs to replace antifreeze, transmission oil, brake oil and so on.

On the whole, under the normal use of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years, the maintenance cost of Mondeo is 8808 yuan, and the price of small maintenance is 908 yuan.

In terms of premiums, the Mondeo EcoBoost 245 fashion type in the case of 1 million of the three, commercial insurance is about 4489 yuan, compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan, the total premium is 5439 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 13598 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 3 years.

In terms of energy consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Mondeo's WLC is 7.11-7.37L/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of our entry-level model is 7.11L/100km. It is worth mentioning that Mondeo can add No. 92 gasoline, which can also have some impact on cost to a certain extent. Oil prices take the Beijing price on the date of writing as an example, no. 92 gasoline is 8.46 yuan per liter. Through calculations, it is known that Mondeo needs to spend about 36,090 yuan on fuel under 60,000 kilometers.

Comprehensive calculations show that under the standard use scenario of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years, the daily use cost of Ford Mondeo is about 59936 yuan, with an average of nearly 1 yuan per kilometer. Next, let's take a look at the daily car cost of Xiaopeng P5, I believe it will bring surprises in maintenance and energy consumption.

The Xiaopeng P5 was initially insured for 5,000 kilometers, and then maintained every 10,000 kilometers. Since there is no engine, its small maintenance is only used for routine inspections such as batteries and lines, and it is free. The Xiaopeng P5 needs to be maintained at 55,000 kilometers, replacing gear oil and steering fluid.

Comprehensive calculations, Xiaopeng P5 in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers of use, maintenance only 1911 yuan. Xiaopeng P5 free routine inspection must be liked, because many new energy models routine inspection to charge a few hundred yuan, it seems not much, but can save the province.

In terms of premiums, Xiaopeng P5 460G+ In the case of 1 million yuan, commercial insurance is about 4747 yuan, compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 14243 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30%). Since it is a pure electric model, the Xiaopeng P5 does not have a car and boat use tax.

In terms of energy consumption, it is still calculated according to the 80:20 scenario of slow charging and fast charging. Xiaopeng P5 official 100 km comprehensive energy consumption of 13.2kWh, slow charging charging electricity in Beijing as an example, 0.4883 yuan / kWh; fast charging based on the most expensive time period of the State Grid, calculated at 1.8 yuan / kWh.

Through calculations, it is known that under the use of 60,000 kilometers, the slow charge costs about 3094 yuan, and the fast charge costs about 2851 yuan, a total of 5945 yuan.

Comprehensive calculations, the daily use cost of Xiaopeng P5 in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers is about 22,099 yuan, with an average of about 0.37 yuan per kilometer, and the cost is less than half of Mondeo, which is also a good surprise.

Of course, in terms of daily use of cars, every time we compare new energy has advantages. So let's take a look at the cost of used car losses and see if Mondeo can pull back a set.

3 years 60,000 km used car loss Mondeo lost?

This time, our old friend, the used car Xiao Fat, brought the analysis of the retention rate of the two cars.

Under normal circumstances, the same price of fuel vehicles and electric vehicle retention rate, most of the fuel vehicles will be better than electric vehicles, after all, the current technology of electric vehicles, quality stability, market post-reputation, policy factors in many aspects of the impact is more, second-hand cars are the performance of the road remote horsepower, so the time is long, the distance is long, the performance of electric vehicles in second-hand cars "endurance" is not the same.

However, there are exceptions to everything, such as the retention rate of some brands and models of fuel vehicles, and the enthusiasm of some Internet celebrities of electric vehicles, which are uncertain "irrational" factors. Ultimately influenced our wallet decisions.

Ford Mondeo series, in fact, into the Chinese joint venture is not short, since 2003 began to continue, but also because of the "Martin face" red for a while, but Ford's brand has always been marketing to do a little low-key, in addition to the early generations of joint venture products, the configuration of good when the appearance is not the same, the appearance of good when the quality is not the same, can also be when the maintenance costs are not the same, and the same level of Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Tianlai, Volkswagen Passat, Maiten is not in a grade, Compared with the late stage of the second-hand car than the Buick Regal Monarch, the Korean Sonata and other such may not be able to win.

The reason for the poor performance of the ford Mondeo's used car market is that it has a large reason for its new car pricing and late sales strategy, the price is relatively high, and then the price is not moving to start to reduce the price, and the general Buick series is the same, coupled with the lack of confidence in the dealer network in recent years, resulting in the late user use cost is not ideal, coupled with the manufacturer's second-hand car management policy without the comprehensive cooperation of new cars, finance, insurance, isolation, so it is not surprising that users feel "losing more money" when selling old cars.

2022 Ford Mondeo, from its configuration and materials and other professional points of view, the pricing is still very "real", at least and the same level of opponents to see, or very good, professional car circle brothers are more optimistic, but there are many models that are not called, the people can not buy is the most critical, from the use of costs and spare parts after-sales and other segments of the analysis, 2022 Mondeo is really quite attentive, but feel late, in our words, reasonable pricing plus good things strategy, What did you ford do earlier?

So from the analysis of the retention rate of used cars in the next 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, if we follow the current Ford Mondeo retention rate speculation, it is indeed a bit "unsatisfactory", but the overall retention rate of future fuel vehicles is a trend, so it does not take into account the future performance of the current product, so due to "historical reasons", the residual value of ford Mondeo's used cars is slightly lower.

But we look forward to this car can sell better, the market share is better, the user cognition is more rational, this car to tell the truth, this price this configuration of this material, really is a very good sincere work, the visible place is not bad, the invisible place is not fooling people, fuel consumption is not as high as the impression of traditional American cars, basically counted as the feeling of European cars, the price is relatively reasonable.

Xiaopeng P5 relatively speaking, the stock on the market is not much, in the north, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, especially the northern visibility is not high, the cost of daily use, in addition to the insurance cost is a little outrageous, electricity is definitely much cheaper than the use of oil, charging is relatively convenient.

In terms of the retention rate of second-hand cars, we refer to the performance of P7, after all, this car is still "hyped" or good, the official part of the second-hand car market "cooperation" component exists, the retention rate is a little significantly higher than the actual, it is easy to "induce" unskilled electric vehicle consumers, and the actual purchase price of second-hand car dealers is not "rumored" high at all.

At the same time, the price of P5 refers to the performance of Xiaopeng G3, which is not bad, after all, Xiaopeng's late product quality stability and real performance of endurance are still OK, and G3's current second-hand car market stock and circulation are much better than before. Therefore, considering the retention rate prediction of Xiaopeng P5 after 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, the comprehensive performance of the whole brand and similar competitors is combined.

However, with the continuous efforts and performance of traditional car companies in electric vehicles, the "artificially high" retention rate of second-hand cars caused by Wei Xiaoli's "net red elements" is weakening, after all, fan enthusiasm and wallet will eventually return to the rational part, after all, the road knows the horsepower, who knows.

BYD hybrid, Volkswagen ID. series of gradual cognition, these are will gradually affect the minds of real users, and many new car-making forces "technology stacking and marketing superposition" coupled with rising prices lead to its cost performance is more and more unsatisfactory.

The same price point can see the "high-tech" may not be practical, the invisible "real thing" may not be recognized by the user, with the passage of time, long-term doctrine and economic stage changes, and ultimately have to rely on the product and service system to speak, is a comprehensive performance difference.

Therefore, from the depreciation loss of the value of used cars in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, Ford's new Mondeo 1.48 yuan per kilometer is indeed a bit high, even if the follow-up performance is improved, the possibility of being lower than 1.4 yuan per kilometer is not large, but the 1.17 yuan of Xiaopeng P5 is currently relatively ideal, but with the change, it may rise slightly, not only to see their own performance, but also to see the opponent change.

If it is 100,000 kilometers in 5 years, the gap between the test and cost of electric vehicle batteries such as Xiaopeng will not be so obvious, and we will add market measurement dimensions and data later.

Comprehensive cost, electric vehicle comprehensive is also very fragrant!

This time in the competition, if you only consider saving money, then there is no suspense, Xiaopeng P5 won.

Before calculating the cost, we predicted that the probability of Xiaopeng P5 winning would be higher, but we did not predict that there would be such a big advantage.

Under the condition of 60,000 kilometers of use in 3 years, the comprehensive use cost of Mondeo is more than 50,000 yuan higher than that of Xiaopeng P5. The cost gap of 20,000 yuan a year is already very large, so if you do not pay special attention to power and have not so much requirements for space, I must recommend the Xiaopeng P5 more in these two cars.

However, the advantages of Ford Mondeo are also obvious, with higher appearance, stronger power, more space, and deeper brands, more service and maintenance outlets, and relatively better quality stability. Winter do not have to worry about endurance, no anxiety problem, no, gasoline price increase will also be anxious, and the probability will continue to rise in price, eh, if this price, Mondeo has Toyota's hybrid, Tesla's tonality, Weilai's marketing, Xiaopeng's play, BYD's supply chain, it is perfect, it will definitely be able to "kill" Xiaopeng P5, and even become the king of the same level!

But which car brand and model will hold the handle with the "two kings, four two" fighting landlords? Good times are not cherished, bad times and hard work, ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi, there are expectations for Ford Mondeo.

But think about it, if you are a young person who does not pursue a public appearance too much, and at the same time the overall feeling is not good in recent years, the wallet is increasingly "shrinking", the work is unstable, the house is not cheap, the food is almost bad, but at the same time you must have a car, then saving money may be the last word!

In fact, at this price point, there are still some other cars that can be compared, if you choose these two, which one will you choose? Or which one would you choose?

Now this special period, buying a car, the choice is too important, you say?
