In the domestic automobile market, when it comes to the Volvo brand, almost everyone will think of the label "safety", indeed in terms of safety, it has always been the goal pursued by Volvo, and the other is the concept of environmental protection, many families with children are part of the factor because Volvo's cockpit does not have any peculiar smell and chose this brand. With the development of the new energy field is getting better and better, Volvo has also followed suit, launched a number of competitive new energy models to cater to the changes in the market, its Volvo XC40 RECHARGE is one of them, equipped with a front-mounted single motor power, with a power level of 238 horsepower, and a pure electric range of 640km The performance is in line with this level of positioning. What is the strength of this car, and is the cost of using the car to maintain the car in the later stage? Xiaobian takes the Volvo XC40 RECHARGE 2024 long-range version (guide price 282,900) as an example to analyze the later maintenance costs of this car? Is it worth it? (VOLVO XC40 RECHARGE)
Before analyzing the maintenance cost in the later stage, let's briefly understand the macro information of the Volvo XC40 RECHARGE. The appearance follows the family-style design language, the visual experience of the front face is young and fashionable, the LED headlights on both sides are small and exquisite, and the lighting effect is excellent.

Generally, after purchasing a car, you also need to buy car insurance, so that when the vehicle is damaged and accidents, the loss of the owner can be reduced to a certain extent. We calculate the insurance cost based on the Volvo XC40 RECHARGE with an official guide price of 282,900 yuan, the compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan (new energy models are exempt from vehicle and vessel tax), and the third-party liability insurance in the commercial insurance is calculated according to 1 million, plus the vehicle loss insurance (including excluding deductibles), the overall cost is about 7027 yuan (different insurance companies offer different prices, subject to the actual situation), in the case of no insurance and the annual vehicle loss insurance amount gradually decreases. The commercial insurance amount in the second year is calculated according to 20% off, and the commercial insurance amount in the third year is calculated according to 7% off, and the total insurance amount for three years is 18,042.5 yuan, and the average cost is 501.18 yuan per month.
At present, the electricity price and service fee of the third-party public AC charging pile in Shenzhen is about 1.2 yuan to 1.8 yuan per kilowatt-hour (the price is different in different periods), we calculate according to the average price of 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour, according to the data of 14.8kWh/100km of power consumption of 100 kilometers given by the database of understanding Chedi, different consumers have different car needs, more or less mileage, we calculate according to the average annual mileage of 10,000 kilometers, and the total charging cost is 2220 yuan, The average monthly fee is $185.
Cars need regular maintenance, which can extend the service life of the car and reduce the failure rate. The first maintenance of Volvo XC40 RECHARGE is 10,000 kilometers, and the engine oil and oil filter need to be replaced, at a cost of 1,341 yuan, and the subsequent maintenance is carried out every 10,000 kilometers, and it can also be determined according to the car environment, starting from 20,000 kilometers and the subsequent need to replace the air conditioning filter core every 20,000 kilometers, the cost is 528 yuan, starting from 30,000 kilometers and the subsequent air filter core needs to be replaced every 30,000 kilometers, the cost is 398 yuan, Starting from 40,000 kilometers and every 40,000 kilometers in the follow-up, the spark plug needs to be replaced, the cost is 2,411 yuan, and the total maintenance cost is 12,837 yuan according to the statistics of 60,000 kilometers in three years, and the average cost is 356.58 yuan per month.
Through the above analysis and calculation, it is known that the average monthly cost of insurance, charging and maintenance costs of Volvo XC40 RECHARGE in the later use process is: 501.18 yuan, 185 yuan and 356.58 yuan respectively, and the total monthly maintenance cost is 1043 yuan (one decimal place). For a compact SUV of a luxury brand, I personally think that such a later maintenance cost is still acceptable.
Recommended model: Volvo XC40 RECHARGE 2024 Long Range Edition (guide price 282,900 yuan)
At present, the 2024 models on sale are 3 models, and the technology configuration, active safety configuration function and auxiliary driving function are all standard with the same configuration, there is no difference, the middle configuration is 20,000 yuan more expensive than the low-end model, mainly because there are more 360 ° panoramic image, steering wheel heating function, speaker upgrade to Harman Kardon's 13 audio, pixel light features, in addition to the 360 ° panoramic image is more practical in the daily driving process, other configurations are actually dispensable, not necessary, if it is simply for 360 °The panoramic image costs an extra 20,000 yuan, which I personally don't think is cost-effective. The top model is 39,100 yuan more expensive than the low-end model, mainly because of the change in power, the top model adopts a dual-motor power + four-wheel drive mode, with 408 horsepower and 670N·m capacity, other configurations are almost the same as the low-end model, in daily urban driving, the 238 horsepower of the low-end model is enough to face the needs of various road conditions, if it is not for consumers with a strong demand for high horsepower, the top model is not cost-effective.
