The cost of repairs and maintenance is not high in sonata。
In terms of maintenance, sonata8 requires maintenance at the recommendation of the manufacturer for 5,000 kilometres per trip or every six months. Empty filters and air-conditioning filters are replaced every 15,000 km or every 12 months, while petrol filters are replaced every 60,000 km or 48 months. However, there may be different maintenance plans for 4s stores in different regions, such as 4s stores in guangzhou, where petrol filters are replaced with a replacement cycle of 50,000 km, while brake fluids and spark plugs are replaced with fuel for every 30,000 km, and transformer tank oil is replaced with fuel for every 100,000 km. The cost of minor maintenance is approximately $322, including the use of original mineral oil from 4s stores, while the cost of major maintenance is approximately $1096. For models 2. 0 and 2. 4l, the total maintenance cost of 100,000 km is approximately $10794。
In terms of maintenance, vehicle maintenance costs are relatively high when equipped with side airbags. Tyre replacement costs range from approximately $750 to $820. If painting is required, the cost of the 4s shop is approximately $750, including $600 for painting and $150 for manual disassembly, while at the maintenance shop outside it is approximately $400 for painting. If the engine required major repairs, the 4s store would be relatively expensive, but the quality of maintenance would be more reliable. For the replacement of the new engine, the cost of the original plant would be $20,000, while the brand price would be between $15,000 and $18,000, plus a cost of $600 for dismantling. If the engine fails, the cost of maintenance varies depending on the area, shop and the severity of the failure。
In addition, sonata8 provides five years of ultra-long warranty period of 100,000 kilometres, which allows non-expendable components such as engines and speedboxes to receive free of charge under normal conditions of use。
In summary, sonata8's maintenance costs are relatively low in the same grade model and are comparable to the maintenance costs of medium-sized vehicles such as yakok and camery. The model was well received by consumers with its excellent quality and reputation, durable engines, abundant comfort configurations and modest maintenance costs。
