Since Changan UNI-V started pre-sale in January, it has gained a lot of popularity in the market, with the daily order volume exceeding 16,000 units. Recently, Changan UNI-V has also officially launched, with a guide price of 108,900-131,900 yuan. For consumers, spending more than 100,000 yuan to buy a sports sedan is not only concerned with personalized appearance and excellent performance, but also saving money in the later stage. So what is the cost of car maintenance for Changan UNI-V?

Changan UNI-V currently has four models, and the introduction version of "Excellent" guide price is 108,900 yuan. The only difference with mid-to-high-end models is the electric sunroof, does not support "flying screen", etc., but the active and passive safety configurations on the car are relatively complete, and panoramic images and full-speed adaptive cruise are also equipped, and the usage rate is relatively high in daily use. Therefore, we use this car as an analysis model to investigate the cost of Changan UNI-V in terms of insurance, maintenance and fuel.

insurance cost

Changan UNI-V's "2022 1.5T Excellent Model" is not expensive, and correspondingly, its insurance price will not be too high. According to what we have learned, the vehicle and ship tax of this car is 360 yuan. After choosing three basic insurances of 3 million responsibilities, car loss insurance and compulsory motor vehicle insurance, the insurance cost in the first year is about 5,200 yuan. If there is no danger in the future, the premium will be reduced year by year. Calculated according to the standard premium of 20% for the second year and 30% for the third year, it can be concluded that in the three years of Changan UNI-V, the total insurance fee required is about 13,000 yuan, and the average annual average is about 4,300 yuan.

Maintenance fee

From the maintenance manual, Changan UNI-V is subject to first insurance when traveling 5,000 kilometers or 3 months (whichever comes first), and subsequent maintenance is carried out every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months. In terms of specific maintenance items and costs, basic accessories such as oil filter must be replaced every time they are maintained, including the labor cost of about 600 yuan; air filters and air conditioning filters start from 15,000 kilometers, and are replaced every 10,000 kilometers, which is about 200 yuan; in addition, when driving to 25,000 kilometers, they need to be replaced with accessories such as spark plug , coolant , and subsequently replace every 30,000 kilometers, which is about 700 yuan; transmission oil is replaced at 60,000 kilometers, which is about 500 yuan.

If three years of driving 60,000 kilometers is a large maintenance cycle, except for the first insurance free, then the total cost of regular maintenance in Changan UNI-V in three years is about 5,500 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost is 1,830 yuan. For such an A-class car, the price of Changan UNI-V for a single maintenance of about 600 yuan is relatively expensive. Fortunately, it has a long maintenance cycle and only once every 10,000 kilometers or six months, which reduces the overall maintenance cost.

fuel cost

Changan UNI-V is equipped with a power combination of 1.5T+7DCT. This set of power is also equipped on other models of Changan , but considering factors such as model level and adjustment, the actual fuel consumption performance may be different. Moreover, Changan UNI-V has just been launched, and the specific fuel consumption data will be waiting for further feedback from consumers. We will calculate it here based on its comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km under WLTC conditions. In addition, UNI-V only needs to add No. 92 gasoline, and the current price is about 8.6 yuan/L. According to the fact that a family car can travel 20,000 kilometers a year, the fuel cost of Changan UNI-V costs about 10,664 yuan a year, and the average monthly price is about 889 yuan, which is not expensive.

summary

Add the above calculated expenses and we concluded that Changan UNI-V spends about maintenance, insurance and fuel for three major car maintenance expenses, and the average monthly is 1,400 yuan. Compared with the benchmark models of the same level we calculated earlier, the annual car maintenance cost of Honda Civic is about 17,000 yuan, and Changan UNI-V can be nearly 300 yuan cheaper. Specifically, the price of Changan UNI-V for a little over 100,000 determines that its insurance costs will not be too high, and the longer maintenance cycle will also lower the overall maintenance costs. Although the actual fuel consumption performance remains to be tested, judging from the current fuel cost performance of less than 900 yuan per month, the actual fuel cost will not be too high.
