Therefore, if you want to buy a tank 500, you must also be mentally prepared for its car cost. Next, we will look at the maintenance of the tank 500 and investigate the fuel, maintenance and insurance costs of the car.
We chose the tank 500 entry-level "2022 3.0T Sport Edition Ascending 5-seater" as an analysis model, its guidance price is 335,000 yuan, the configuration function of this car is basically at the same level as the high-end model, safety configuration, technology configuration, lighting configuration, etc. are relatively complete, but less seat ventilation / massage, HUD head-up digital display, facial recognition and other functions, the impact on daily cars is not large, belongs to the most cost-effective model.
Oil costs
Affected by the recent rise in oil prices, tank 500 also needs to be refueled with No. 95 gasoline, and now the price has reached 9.2 yuan / L, on this basis, although the tank 500 has a 48V light mix system, but after all, equipped with a large displacement engine of 3.0T V6, its fuel cost is still not negligible. Since the tank 500 has just been listed, the lack of actual fuel consumption data, even in the WLC standard under the 10.79L/ 100km comprehensive fuel consumption to calculate, assuming that the tank 500 can travel 20,000 kilometers a year, then in this year, the tank 500 needs to cost almost 19854 yuan. If you take into account the comprehensive road conditions, as well as special scenarios such as off-road, the actual fuel cost may be higher.
Maintenance costs
From the official maintenance manual, when the tank 500 travels to 5000 kilometers, it needs to be first insured, including the replacement of the oil engine filter, which costs about 900 yuan, and the subsequent maintenance interval is 7500 kilometers.

It can be seen that the price of tank 500 accessories is not cheap, but fortunately, tank 500 currently has a policy of 5 free basic maintenance, which can eliminate part of the maintenance cost. According to the mileage of 60,000 kilometers for a large maintenance cycle, then the total maintenance cost of the tank 500 is about 8,500 yuan, if you can travel 20,000 kilometers a year, the annual maintenance cost of the tank 500 is almost 2,800 yuan, of which the small maintenance cost is 900 yuan.

However, if the subsequent use of tank 500 without accidents, if there is no insurance, the insurance company will have a year-on-year decline in preference, to the standard premium of the second year 20% off, the third year of 30% off to calculate, then the tank 500 in fact three years the total maintenance cost is about 22635 yuan, the average annual need for almost 7545 yuan. Of course, to meet such a premium standard, it is necessary for car owners and friends to pay more attention to cherishing their vehicles when they walk bad roads and run off-road.
