How much does it cost to raise a 2.0L Nissan Teana a year? Can ordinary people afford it?
Nissan, which has always advocated technology first, has always been a troika in China, Xuanyi, Qashqai, and X-Trail. After the rapid decline of X-Jun's iteration failure, many people are worried about this technical road, Nissan is difficult to get through, as a result, after the lack of strength of X-Jun, we saw the top Nissan Ethereal, which is the second time that Ethereal has become a bestseller in the domestic market, and it also forms the "three musketeers" of Japanese B-class cars again with Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. So some people have to ask, will the heavenly ethereal that once showed people as a commercial car be too expensive to raise as a family now? Let's take a 2022 Ethereal 2.0L XL-UPR Premium Edition as an example to see how much it costs a year.
Let's first look at some basic information of the vehicle, which will be divided into two parts: first, some design and functional configuration; The second is the mechanical assembly related to the cost of the vehicle.
In the design part, Ethereal has a more open V-motion grille in the sixth generation, the double V-shaped decoration has been canceled, replaced by a full-open banner design that is somewhat similar to the Volkswagen CC, and the sharp headlights and swooping waistline also make it have a slender body of 4906/1850/1447mm and a wheelbase of 2825mm, presenting a visual state of integration of advanced and young avant-garde.
In terms of comfort, the model offers a fully leather steering wheel and seats, the latter of which provides electric adjustment and heating/ventilation in the front row, and is further optimized by front acoustic glass, dual-zone air conditioning, 64-color ambient lighting and a segmented sunroof. In terms of technology, the 12.3-inch touch screen is equipped with Nissan Connect to achieve intelligent voice interaction and extensive remote control, while ProPILOT has also reached L2+ level assisted driving, which can complete auxiliary functions such as lane centering.
In the mechanical assembly, the model is equipped with an MR20 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which can provide a maximum power of 115kW (156Ps) and a maximum torque of 197Nm, and has the first dual C-VTC continuously variable valve timing technology, and with CVT continuously variable transmission, the vehicle can maintain a WLTC combined fuel consumption of 6.41L/100km. At the same time, the front axle of the chassis of the vehicle is MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear axle uses trapezoidal linkage independent suspension to optimize support.
Next, we formally talk about the cost of using a car, we use a three-year, 60,000-kilometer cycle and mileage to evenly share and calculate the average annual cost of using a car, mainly accounting for insurance costs, fuel costs and maintenance costs:
In terms of insurance costs, we combine 1 million three liability insurance, car damage insurance, vehicle personnel insurance and car scratch insurance, a total of four main types of insurance, its commercial insurance cost in the first year is 5733 yuan, compulsory insurance is 950 yuan, vehicle and vessel tax is 400 yuan, in the first year without insurance, the second year insurance 9 discount, the third year insurance 8 discount, vehicle and vessel tax is not included in the discount, the three-year insurance tax combined is about 18044 + 1200 yuan, the average annual insurance cost in the first three years is about 6415 yuan.
In terms of fuel costs, the average annual fuel cost is 10,871 yuan according to the national average gasoline price of 8.48 yuan/L (No. 92) and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.41L/100km.
In terms of maintenance costs, the maintenance interval of Ethereal is 5,000km, the first warranty is free, and a total of 12 maintenance times per year of 60,000 kilometers, including 9 small maintenance times and 3 major maintenance, of which the total cost of small maintenance materials and labor is 432 yuan / time, large maintenance is 990 yuan / time, and the average annual maintenance cost in the first three years is 2142 yuan. Based on the three main car costs, the annual cost of Nissan Teana in the first three years was 19,428 yuan, and the monthly cost was 1,619 yuan.
Write at the end
Nissan Ethereal as a product that was once considered a high-end business car, has undergone two important iterations after entering China, and now into the sixth generation of Ethereal L34 (known as the seventh generation in China) also completed a major facelift last year, although it still has not completely faded the high-end business temperament, but compared with the past there has been a significant youthful upgrade. And from the cost of using a car that we roughly calculate today, in the absence of calculating the comprehensive discount for car purchase, it is not as unattainable as most family consumers imagine.
