With the more open mind of the younger generation of consumers and the rapid development of the national economy, many people no longer just use cars as a simple means of transportation when buying cars. Therefore, many "players" who are keen to explore driving pleasure have emerged in China. For example, the scale of cross-country enthusiasts has become larger and larger in recent years. For these consumers, the car they are eager for is undoubtedly a hard-core off-road vehicle. Classic models such as Jeep Shepherd, Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G are imported into China, and the prices are generally more expensive. Presumably there are not many car owners who are really willing to drive.

Then, in the independent brand market, is there a hard-core off-road vehicle with strong performance and relatively close price? Recently, the WEY brand under the Great Wall provided such a choice-Tank 300.

Tank 300 adopts non-loaded body, and the whole system comes standard with part-time 4wd system, and its performance parameters are quite eye-catching. The minimum ground clearance is 224mm, the approach angle and departure angles are 33 and 34 respectively, the maximum wading depth is 700mm and the maximum climbing degree is 70%. Besides? Tank 300*** provides up to 9 driving modes, and has the function of tank turning around and crawling at low speed, so the overall off-road capability can not be underestimated.

Relatively powerful performance, tank 300? 175800-2 13800 yuan price range is quite sincere. However, as a hard-core off-road vehicle, some small partners may worry that the cost of car maintenance in the later period is too high. In this issue of Lessons from Money and Cars, Xiao Zhi will calculate the cost of buying a tank 300 and the specific cost of car maintenance in the future.

Through the summary of the full text, we can already have a general understanding of the cost of buying and maintaining the tank 300. The model used in this paper is 202 1 of 300 tanks. Off-road version? 2.0T？ Challenger, the manufacturer's guide price is 6.5438+0.958 million yuan. The configuration of this model is rich enough, including complete driver assistance configuration, dual 12.3-inch large screen and rear axle differential lock. If you are still worried about off-road ability, you only need to spend an extra 6,000 yuan to choose the front axle differential lock.

After inquiring about a number of 4S stores, Xiao Zhi learned that at present, the car source of Tank 300 is very limited, no matter which configuration, there is no existing car, and it will take about three months to pick up the car after booking. It is worth mentioning that the car purchase policy of Tank 300 is relatively rich, and the replacement subsidy for the same brand can reach 7,000 yuan, and other brands can get 4,000 yuan replacement subsidy; In addition, car buyers can also enjoy 0 down payment or 24 /36 interest-free loan scheme.

At present, there is no cash discount for Tank 300. It costs 2,265,438 yuan +0.484 yuan to buy the whole car. If you buy a car with a loan, you can choose an interest-free loan scheme with a fixed amount of 80,000 yuan in 24 installments or 56,000 yuan in 36 installments. Consumers generally choose the former. However, it needs to be added that although it is an interest-free loan, 4S stores will charge a 5% loan fee, which means that an interest-free loan of 80,000 yuan will charge a 4,000 yuan fee. According to the 24 interest-free loans with a fixed amount of 80,000 yuan, the car can be driven away only by repaying 65,438 yuan+045,484 yuan in advance, and the monthly repayment is 3,333 yuan, and the final actual total expenditure is 225,484 yuan.

In addition to the car purchase policy mentioned above, Tank 300 also provides a five-year vehicle warranty of 654.38+0.5 million kilometers, and the first owner's engine and gearbox are guaranteed free of charge for life, which proves WEY's confidence in the quality of Tank 300. In addition, WEY also provided free basic maintenance for tank 300 for five years 10, which greatly reduced the maintenance cost. Since brand positioning is a luxury, WEY's service concept is also worthy of recognition. Tank 300 can enjoy five years of free road rescue service. If the tank 300 cannot continue to drive safely due to failure, wrong driving or traffic accidents, the rental fee, scooter, high-speed rail, hotel accommodation and other expenses can be reimbursed by Weipai Rescue Service Center.

The first maintenance of the tank 300 was carried out at 5000 kilometers, and the maintenance cycle after that was 7500 kilometers. Because it has five-year 10 free basic maintenance, the material cost and working time cost of replacing the oil tank 300 machine filter for the first 65,000 kilometers are free, but other items still need to be paid. In the end, the routine maintenance cost of 65,000 kilometers before the tank 300 is only 3,926 yuan, which is 1.208 yuan based on 20,000 kilometers a year.

Tank 300 is equipped with the power combination of Haval H9' s 2.0T engine and +8AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 227 HP and a peak torque of 387 Nm. The power parameters of Tank 300 are very eye-catching, but as a hard-core off-road vehicle, there is no need to expect too much about its fuel economy. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has reached 9.3L/ 100km.

At present, tank 300 has just entered the market, and there is no actual fuel consumption data of the owner. Therefore, referring to Haval H9 equipped with the same powertrain, Xiao Zhi estimated that the actual fuel consumption of tank 300 was about11.7l/100km. Even if the tank 300 only needs to add 92# gasoline, the annual fuel cost of 20,000 kilometers still reaches 13666 yuan. Moreover, this is the result of normal driving. If you are keen on cross-country, the fuel cost is even more exaggerated.

Adding up the fuel cost, insurance premium, maintenance fee and vehicle and vessel tax, the annual maintenance cost of the tank for 300 years reaches 2223 1 yuan, and the monthly maintenance cost is 1.853 yuan. If you buy a car with a loan, you need to increase the monthly payment by 3333 yuan. Considering the monthly parking, car washing, illegal handling and other miscellaneous expenses, forget about 600 yuan. Adding up the above expenses, the total monthly cost of tank 300 reaches 5786 yuan.

Even if the monthly salary is 10 thousand, the cost of the car alone will exceed half. Moreover, off-road or modification is quite "burning money", and the pocket money left for yourself every month may be two or three thousand yuan.

The above is the analysis of the cost of buying and maintaining a tank 300 in this issue of Lessons from Money and Cars. Generally speaking, although the car purchase policies provided by Tank 300, such as replacement subsidy, interest-free loan and free basic maintenance for 5 years/6,543,800 kilometers, are sincere, the price is not unattainable. However, due to its high fuel consumption, you must be prepared for a large amount of fuel in advance.

Generally speaking, Xiao Zhi thinks that Tank 300 is definitely a good choice for off-road enthusiasts. But if it's just a whim and you're not keen on cross-country, then the pressure of car maintenance in the future may make you regret choosing Tank 300.
