Domestic MPV has stood up in the past two years, and new cars are emerging one after another. Tengshi D9, Hongqi HQ9, and Zekr 009. From this perspective, the naming is quite regular. As a veteran MPV, Trumpchi M8 naturally cannot be compared. The recently launched Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series is very competitive and has a very exaggerated front face, which is in line with the aesthetics of our traditional consumers and is grand enough. If consumers who are interested in this new car will inevitably be concerned about the cost of using the car in the later stage. Let’s calculate the cost of using the car in the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series today.
First of all, the styling design of the Trumpchi M8 is indeed based on the aesthetics of our domestic consumers. The front face is made of quite a lot of metal chrome trim, which is very large in area, connecting the traditional center grille and the lower encirclement together. The headlight groups on both sides are not small in size, and use LED light sources, which are composed of multiple angles and geometric figures, making the visual effect very outstanding. The side of
is a relatively traditional MPV line, and the upper and lower body is color-separated. The door handles are made into a symmetrical form. Such a body can ensure more space in the car.
The rear part of the car has a through-type taillight, and the lights on both sides are symmetrical with the headlights. The bottom has been decorated to replace exhaust. The real exhaust is hidden at the bottom.
Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series' center console layout is somewhat similar to Trumpchi GS8, and uses many straight lines and symmetrical layouts. The central control screen size reaches 14.6 inches, which is very large. The LCD instrument size has also reached 12.3 inches, and the independent brand is indeed doing better in screen size. The seats in the Grandmaster series are all 2+2+3, and the second row is two independent seats. For MPVs, this layout is more reasonable, because the most utilitarian one is the seats in the first two rows.
The power part of the new car has two versions, namely the fuel version and the dual-engine version. Both are 2.0T engines, the maximum horsepower of is 252Ps and 190Ps, respectively. The latter also has a 134kW motor, forming an oil mixing system. The dual-engine version can consume much lower fuel, but the price is slightly higher.
landing price
According to convention, we will calculate the landing price first. There are 5 versions of the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster series, with a guide price of 269,800-342,800 yuan. We chose the 400T automatic supreme that we got started with, with a guide price of 269,800 yuan. purchase tax currently has a policy of halving, which is about 12,000 yuan. Vehicle and ship tax is 450 yuan, compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan, commercial insurance is 5,024 yuan, and other license fees, financial service fees, etc. We calculate the total of about 290,000 yuan.
Maintenance
Trumpchi M8 is not low, but the brand is still relatively affordable and the maintenance price is not expensive. Unfortunately, the maintenance frequency is high, and it is maintained at 5000km at a time. If the mileage of 10,000km per year is required, a total of 7,277 yuan is required for maintenance in 6 years. It costs about 1,200 yuan a year, which is acceptable.
Fuel cost
Although there is a dual-engine version with lower fuel consumption, there should be more users who choose the fuel version. We calculate it based on the fuel consumption of the fuel version. Assuming that the mileage of 10,000km per year requires approximately 854L of fuel consumption. Taking the current No. 95 oil price in Shanghai, 8.83 yuan/L is an example, the annual cost of oil is 7,540 yuan.
Based on the comprehensive, the annual cost of Trumpchi M8 is about 15,176 yuan. The main focus is still on fuel consumption and insurance. If you choose the dual-engine version, this number can be reduced by nearly half, but whether the increased price is cost-effective depends on personal needs.
