From the perspective of consumers, I think there are actually two kinds of troubles faced when buying a car. One is trouble when choosing a car, and the other is trouble after buying a car. After all, as many consumers joke: "It is easy to buy a car, but difficult to maintain a car." The cost of subsequent car use, maintenance and other issues will indeed cause a lot of troubles. Wuling recently introduced the third model of the Silver Label series - Wuling Jiachen. This car is positioned as a seven-seater MPV. With an affordable pre-sale price of 69,800-105,800, it has also attracted the attention of many consumers. , so what is the cost of maintaining this car? Let’s take a look today.
First of all, let’s take a look at what models are available for Wuling Jiachen. Currently, there are 5 versions of the car. Among them, the top-of-the-line CVT flagship model is currently priced at 105,800. The official price is expected to be updated after it is launched. It is lower, and the product positioning can be said to be relatively close to the people. Basically, you can get the top-end model with a budget of 100,000 yuan. Coupled with the 2-2-3 seven-seat configuration in the car and the blessing of high-end 1.5T power, it is still a good choice for ordinary families with two or three children. Of course, getting back to business, today we mainly talk about the cost of using a car.
Let’s talk about the insurance part first. Although Wuling Jiachen has not yet been launched, but based on the situation of Wuling Capgemini, Wuling Jiachen CVT exclusive flagship model (pre-sale price 105,800), in addition to the compulsory traffic insurance that must be delivered, plus 1 million For commercial insurance such as third-party liability insurance, vehicle loss insurance , and vehicle occupant safety, the total annual auto insurance price is 4,561 yuan. Based on the subsequent decline in premiums in the absence of accidents, Wuling Jiachen’s minimum three-year insurance cost is approximately 10,200 yuan, an average of 3,400 yuan per year.
Next, let’s talk about the maintenance part of and . According to the situation, the maintenance regulations of Wuling Jiachen should also be consistent with Capgemini. The first insurance is basically free, and we don’t count the additional times given by 4S stores for now. Under normal circumstances, it should be run about 20,000 kilometers per year. Calculated based on 5,000 kilometers, maintenance is basically required four times a year. Based on the Wuling Capgemini's cost of 5,913 yuan per 60,000 kilometers (automatic transmission), the three-year maintenance cost of the Wuling Jiachen is almost the same, with an average annual cost of 1,971 yuan.
Finally, the fuel consumption expense is the . Wuling Jiachen offers two sets of power options, 1.5L/1.5T. Let’s take the 1.5T+CVT gearbox configuration version as an example. This powertrain can have a maximum horsepower of 147Ps and a maximum torque of of 2250N·m. The NEDC fuel consumption is 7.8L/100km. In fact, we calculate it as 8.5L/100km. Taking the price of No. 92 gasoline at 8.78 yuan/L as an example, after running 20,000 kilometers per year, the fuel cost will basically be 14,926 yuan.
Finally, let’s make a summary. In the editor’s opinion, Wuling Jiachen’s subsequent car use costs are mainly composed of fuel consumption + insurance + maintenance. According to the original idea, running 20,000 kilometers a year, Wuling Jiachen The annual cost is 3400+1971+14926=20297 yuan, and the average monthly cost is about 1691 yuan. Such data is still exaggerated. The actual situation should be lower than this cost. And if car owners buy a manual transmission model, the cost of using the car will be lower.
It can be seen that for a young couple with a monthly salary of five to six thousand, Wuling Jiachen is basically not difficult to raise. And it also has a big product highlight, that is, it has a large space for seven seats, and it also has a flexible space design that can accommodate both life and work. The third row can be folded down when you need to sit people or carry things. With 1-2 seats, whether you are an individual business owner or a family owner, its space is suitable for receiving customers, family camping, self-driving and other scenarios. In addition, its price is close to the people, so in my opinion, Wuling Jiachen is a seven-seater MPV that is suitable for ordinary people to choose.
