Previously, I had some exchanges with several "off-road old guns" on the topic of "favorite off-road vehicles", and many people think that "White Moonlight" is the land rover brand's hardcore off-road vehicle Land Rover defender. Then I asked them a question, now that the Land Rover Defender is divided into a long-axis version and a standard-axis version, which one would they prefer to choose? The answer is also interesting, the answer is that for consumers who pursue a "pure" Land Rover off-road spirit, the Land Rover Defender standard axis version may be easier for them to "favor". So today we will take a look, buy a Land Rover Defender standard shaft version to play off-road, in the state of plain car, how much does it cost to raise a car in a year?
Land Rover Defender standard shaft version has 2.0T and 3.0T two kinds of power, for people who buy the Land Rover Defender standard shaft version for off-road, the power and off-road ability of the 3.0T model can better protect them to cope with the extreme road environment, the 3.0T entry-level Land Rover Defender standard shaft version is the land Rover Defender series of the most able to take into account the off-road ability and cost-effective model, today we take the Land Rover Defender standard shaft version currently on sale 3.0T entry configuration 2022 90 3.0T P400 XS as a reference, Let's take a look at the cost of fuel, vehicle maintenance and insurance costs when buying a Land Rover Defender standard axle version to play off-road.
Oil cost:
Before calculating the fuel bill, we assumed a specific car usage situation for the Land Rover Defender standard axle version, that is, 20,000 kilometers a year, of which 15,000 kilometers were regular urban road driving, and the remaining 5,000 kilometers were off-road environments or off-road traffic.
First of all, let's calculate the fuel cost of driving 15,000 kilometers of urban roads, the land Rover Defender standard axle version of the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 9.6L/100km, and the actual fuel consumption we tested on the city road is almost 13L/100km. This car needs to add No. 95 gasoline, and the current price is 7.6 yuan / L. According to calculations, if this car travels 18,000 kilometers in the city a year, it will cost almost 17,784 yuan.
Next, we calculated its 5000 km off-road fuel consumption, we conducted a fuel consumption test on the Land Rover Defender standard shaft version in the off-road field, and concluded that its fuel consumption under simulated off-road conditions was almost 23L/100km, and by calculation, the fuel consumption required for 2000 km off-road conditions was 3496 yuan.
By adding up the cost of fuel for urban conditions and oil for off-road conditions, we can conclude that the Land Rover Defender standard shaft version in our hypothetical state, the annual fuel cost is 21280 yuan, and the average monthly cost is 1773 yuan for refueling.
Vehicle Maintenance:
First of all, let's talk about the cost of routine maintenance of the Land Rover Defender reel plate in the 4S store. The maintenance of the Land Rover Defender standard shaft version is basically the same as the long shaft version, mainly divided into A maintenance and B maintenance, A maintenance for the replacement of oil and machine filter, 3.0T model times to replace the oil almost need to change 8L, A maintenance cost of 1755 yuan, B maintenance In addition to including A maintenance content, also need to replace the air conditioning filter and air filter, B maintenance Price is 2835 yuan, that is to say, the cost of replacing the air conditioning filter and air filter is almost in the early 1000 yuan. In addition to the two routine maintenance items of A maintenance and B maintenance, the Land Rover Defender standard shaft version also needs to spend 352 yuan to replace the brake oil at 40,000 kilometers, and in addition to spending 4937 yuan to replace the transmission oil at 60,000 kilometers, it also costs 1552 yuan to replace the spark plug.
Therefore, if the conventional maintenance of this piece, if you drive 60,000 kilometers in three years, the total cost of three years of maintenance needs 20611 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost is 6870 yuan.
In addition to routine maintenance, if you often drive this car off-road, the tire is also a consumable that needs to be replaced frequently. If we want to balance off-road and urban commuting, let's assume that in the 3-year cycle of the car, the Land Rover Defender standard axle version uses a set of all-terrain tires and a set of off-road tires. Among them, we calculate according to the all-terrain tire 1700 yuan, off-road tire 1900 yuan to calculate. According to the calculation, the cost of using a set of all-terrain tires plus a set of off-road tires in 3 years is 14400 yuan, and the average annual cost of this piece is 4800 yuan.
We added up the cost of maintenance and the cost of changing the tires to conclude that without considering other accidental repairs, a Land Rover Defender standard axle plate would cost $11,670 a year for vehicle maintenance in the case of off-roading.
Insurance Costs:
Land Rover Defender standard axle version of the 3.0T model vehicle and boat use tax of 1800 yuan, insurance this piece of due to the frequent risk of off-road driving, so we in accordance with the more comprehensive maintenance purchase method to choose commercial insurance. In the field of commercial insurance, the purchase of 2 million three liabilities, car damage insurance, traffic insurance, scratch insurance and driver and passenger 30,000 personnel injury insurance, a total of 22,046 yuan. After adding compulsory traffic insurance, the insurance is 22996 yuan. If we calculate according to the three years of no insurance, after calculating the insurance company's decreasing discount year by year, the total insurance cost required for this car for three years is 57490 yuan, the average annual insurance cost is 19163 yuan, plus the car and boat use tax needs 20963 yuan.
summary:
By adding up fuel, vehicle maintenance and insurance costs, we came up with the idea that buying a Land Rover Defender standard axle version to play off-road costs almost 53,913 yuan a year, an average of 4,492 yuan a month. The cost of such a car maintenance is much higher for ordinary family cars, but if you can take out 800,000 yuan to buy a Land Rover Defender standard axle version to play off-road, such a car maintenance cost may still be acceptable. After all, for those who can have the Land Rover Defender standard axis version, it is more important to be able to "indulge in freedom" between heaven and earth than money.
