In the current market environment where French cars generally have a low sense of existence, is it a bit "deathful" to choose Peugeot 408 as the protagonist of our issue of "Car Maintenance Cost Analysis"? To be honest, after confirming the model, I also expressed concerns about the number of views of this issue for a few seconds, but after thinking about it, the Peugeot 408 was only upgraded recently, and it is the first model under the Dongfeng Peugeot that uses the new logo of the Lion Head Shield Emblem. The market heat should still be there, so I just wrote it hard about this issue.
Without further ado, we go straight to the topic and see how much "price" the owners of Peugeot 408 who risk being ununderstood choose French cars will have to spend to maintain this family sedan that we are both familiar and unfamiliar.
maintenance is not expensive
Through the table we draw, it can be clearly seen that the Peugeot 408 is the same as most household models. Except for the transmission oil accessories price is slightly eye-catching, although the accessories price of the other accessories is not cheap, it is within an acceptable range, which basically meets the pricing and positioning of the 408.
In terms of maintenance cycle, the first maintenance mileage of Peugeot 408 is 7,500 kilometers, and the maintenance interval is also 7,500 kilometers. Compared with competitors of the same level with a maintenance interval of 5,000 kilometers, Peugeot 408 has a certain advantage in terms of maintenance time and cost. It is calculated that the maintenance expenses required for Peugeot 408 in three years (calculated based on the annual driving of 20,000 kilometers) are 8,492 yuan, and the average annual share is about 2,831 yuan.
But the price needs to be added that this price is to exclude the result of buying maintenance packages or vouchers. If you have the above two preferential methods, the maintenance price can be suppressed again. The calculation results are for reference only.
insurance savings
configuration and price, the new Peugeot 408 launched not long ago has three models, with a price range of 105,700-121,700 yuan. Considering that some insurance types are linked to the price of the model, we calculated its commercial insurance expenses in the form of a range, and the resulting cost range is 4,743-5,043 yuan.
In addition, considering that the 2022 1.6T Dream-Chasing Edition (priced 121,700 yuan) is the most concerned version of these three models. In terms of commercial insurance, we use it as the reference model to calculate the relevant expenses. After calculation, the total cost it incurs in three years is 12,607.5 yuan, and the average annual share is 4,202.5 yuan.
Is the fuel consumption high?
At the beginning, we said that Peugeot 408 is a family sedan that we are both familiar with and unfamiliar with. How do you say this? The reason is that although the modified Peugeot 408 has put a lot of effort into the design level, it is still lazy in the power hardware. It has only cancelled the original 1.2T power model, and the entire series adopts the original 1.6T+6AT power combination. Therefore, we can directly refer to the old models for its specific fuel consumption performance.
According to the fuel consumption information feedback from real car owners on the Internet, its actual average fuel consumption is 10.4L/100km. Calculated with the price of No. 92 gasoline in Guangdong (8.44), the fuel expense required by Peugeot 408 in one year (calculated based on 20,000 kilometers per year) is 17,555.2 yuan.
To sum up, the total cost incurred by the above three major sectors (maintenance, commercial insurance and daily fuel consumption) every year is 2831+4202.5+17555.2=24588.7, and the average monthly fee needs to be shared is about 2049 yuan. However, it should be noted that this value is obtained without adding parking fees, car washing fees, highway fees and other fees. These expenses vary from person to person and cannot be discussed together.
is written at the end
monthly expenses of 2,049 yuan. For a joint venture compact car, although this value is not cheap, it is still within the acceptable range. At least Peugeot 408 owners do not have to worry about car maintenance costs, but bear the name of "big injustice"... As for the recommended models, there are not many configuration versions of the new Peugeot 408, only three, and you can choose to choose one with your own purchase budget and configuration needs, or directly choose one with higher attention. The above is the entire content of this issue's car maintenance cost analysis. See you next time...
