The domestic new energy vehicle market continues to be hot, pure electricity, hybrid full bloom, of which the ideal ONE of the main range extender hybrid sold particularly well, from January to April 2022, the cumulative delivery of more than 35,000 vehicles, and even more than Toyota Highlander, the main reason is that the ideal ONE is reasonably priced, free of purchase tax, and can be on the green card, can meet the needs of many users. Similarly, among luxury brands, there are many products that can meet this kind of demand, and the Volvo XC60 T8 is one of them. And as a plug-in SUV, the price of the Volvo XC60 T8 terminal after the discount is only about 40,000 yuan more expensive than the ideal ONE, so how should consumers choose?
140,000 discount, still more expensive than the ideal? But Volvo has a current car
First look at the comparison of sales of the two cars, after achieving sales of more than 10,000 in January and March this year, the sales of the ideal ONE declined in April, only 4167 vehicles, but the cumulative sales of 1-4 months still reached 35883 units, as a new force SUV of more than 300,000 car manufacturers, quite good. In contrast, volvo XC60 T8 sales are relatively average, with sales of only more than 200 vehicles in April, and cumulative sales from January to April have not exceeded 4 figures.
However, the sales of products are not good, terminal discounts will generally be more, in this regard Volvo XC60 T8 still has a lot of sincerity, according to our investigation of 4S stores in Beijing, the highest discount of this car can reach 140,000 yuan, which can be said to be a relatively large discount margin in the near future. We take the "2022 Model Modification T8 Plug-in Hybrid Four-Wheel Drive Zhiyuan Luxury Edition" priced at 527,900 yuan as an example, and the price of the naked car after the discount is 387,900 yuan, and the final full landing price is about 400,000 yuan.
The ideal ONE is due to the online order mode, the price system is more transparent, so the guidance price of 349,800 yuan is the terminal price, which is nearly 40,000 yuan cheaper than the "2022 model revamped T8 plug-in hybrid four-wheel drive zhiyuan luxury version" after the discount.
In terms of installments, ideal ONE provides a minimum of 15% down payment and a maximum of 60 loans, we calculate with a down payment of 30% monthly payment of 36 installments, the down payment amount is about 100,000 yuan, the monthly payment amount is 5000 yuan, of course, the interest is almost 4 points. Volvo XC60 T8 provides a 50% down payment, a low-interest loan of up to 24 installments, a down payment of 180,000 yuan for the hot-selling model, a monthly payment of about 7300 yuan, interest of about 3 points, and a financial fee of 5000 yuan.
In terms of pick-up time, ideal ONE is expected to be delivered within 6-8 weeks after the order is placed, which is very fast compared to the delivery time promised by other new car-making forces. Volvo XC60 T8 currently has a small number of low-end models, and if you need to book, it will take about 1 month. It is worth mentioning that the ideal ONE also has additional free installation of charging piles, free roadside assistance, three years of free traffic (4G traffic of 20G per month) of car owners' rights, which is also the "welfare" of new car-making forces.
Overall, the Volvo XC60 T8 has a large preferential range, but the ideal ONE guidance price is cheap, so the naked car price Volvo XC60 T8 is still nearly 40,000 yuan more expensive. In terms of finance, both vehicles have their own installment policies, the difference is that the ideal ONE down payment can be lower. Of course, in terms of the pick-up time that users are also concerned about, volvo XC60 T8 should be more friendly, and there is basically no need to wait for the car.
There is no need to bargain to buy a car, so young people are willing to choose the ideal ONE?
Volvo's biggest product feature is safety, which is also the core reason why most users choose Volvo XC60 T8, in addition, with the help of the plug-in and mixing system, Volvo XC60 T8 product strength has indeed been greatly improved, zero hundred acceleration time is only 5 seconds, WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 2.5L / 100 km, four-wheel drive system to make the driving quality is also better, more importantly, with 64km of pure electric mileage, Volvo XC60 T8 also has the qualification of green card, and can be exempt from purchase tax This is undoubtedly a greater attraction for users in limited-license cities.
Ideal ONE as a rare range extender SUV in the domestic market, the use of 1.2T range extender, daily driving completely by electric drive, that is, the driving quality and tram are exactly the same, the system comprehensive power of 245kW front and rear dual motors, to promote this medium and large SUV is very easy, zero hundred acceleration time as long as 6.5 seconds, at the same time it also has WLTP up to 155km of pure electric endurance, in the state of power loss of fuel consumption of 8.8L / 100 km, of course, in the full power state, the actual fuel consumption of the vehicle will be lower.
Compared with the product strength of the two vehicles, the ideal ONE and the Volvo XC60 T8 have some differences, for example, the ideal ONE is a medium and large SUV, with a variety of seat layouts, the co-pilot queen seat and the two rows of two independent seats of the 6-seat model, which also determines the family attributes of this car, which is more suitable for the choice of two-child families. The Volvo XC60 T8 is a 5-seat medium-sized SUV with a small space in the same class, but the driving performance is good, suitable for driving or a family of three.
Volvo XC60 T8 safety configuration is very high, this inherits the advantages of the Volvo brand, in addition to driving assistance, intelligence is also ahead of the same level of luxury brands, but compared to the new car-making forces is still a level behind, this I believe that when you sit in the ideal ONE car, see a number of large screens will have a deep understanding, so I believe that young families are more suitable for the ideal ONE. It is worth mentioning that the ideal ONE not only has an advantage in price, its car purchase model is also more catered to young people, online orders are more transparent, there is no need to go to the 4S store to repeatedly bargain, buy a car will not be too worried.
In the process of buying a car, the maintenance price of the vehicle is also more concerned by everyone
The ideal ONE maintenance cycle is 10,000km, the maintenance cost of 60,000km for three years is about 5,700 yuan, the small maintenance price is 599 yuan, as a medium and large SUV priced at more than 300,000 yuan, this maintenance price is not high, but if a 1.2T three-cylinder engine is used as a maintenance standard, it is still somewhat expensive.
Volvo XC6 T8 maintenance cycle of 10000km or 12 months, small maintenance cost of 1200 yuan, other aspects also need to replace the air conditioning filter, antifreeze, brake fluid, transmission oil, etc. Regularly, three years of driving 60000km maintenance costs of about 10400 yuan, an average of about 3467 yuan per year, more expensive than the ideal ONE.
summary
Budget 400,000 yuan, want to buy a green card SUV, Volvo XC60 T8 is a good choice, strong power, low fuel consumption, as well as the safety of the Volvo brand, as well as the identity of luxury cars, in addition to a larger discount margin makes it look quite cost-effective. However, in the face of the ideal ONE, some advantages of the Volvo XC60 T8 seem to be buried, and more importantly, the ideal ONE price is nearly 40,000 yuan cheaper, and the car purchase process also saves the trouble of bargaining, which young people will recognize more. Of course, the longer time to pick up the car is also a headache to buy the ideal ONE, so if it is not in a hurry to use the car, we think that the friends who are suitable for buying the ideal ONE should be more.
