We've been doing short videos, and we've been fighting from the car owner to the car owner. A third-party platform used to set out 2024 carola's "all-life car bill" and then went straight to the pot, "don't you think it's confusing? How is it more expensive to maintain than the fuel version?" the battery can't be replaced." you know, it's toyota's "national shinto", with a cumulative global sales volume of over 50 million blenders, but this time it's a tough question: buy it and save it, and then get a car? So the question is: can carola's twins afford it? Is there enough money to fill another hole? We'll tear out the bills and see the truth today。
Part one: which of the most expensive car bills in carolina
The recently released comparison report on the cost of mainstream close sedan cars, which provides an inventory of the total cost of 1. 8 litres of carola's bi-litre and 1:2 t of the fuel version in five years, has caused many people to stare。
The total cost of the platinum version, though about 12,000 less than that of the fuel version, is different, and some projects look like nothing, but are actually invisible "assassins"。
Insurance premiums are the most impressive。
The two platinum versions cost 800 more per year than the fuel version, which doesn't sound much, but this is due to the inclusion of batteries in the vehicle loss insurance coverage, with coverage ranging from about 20,000 to 30,000, and the generally higher pricing of spare parts for the mixing system, with commercial insurance premiums significantly higher than the fuel version。
According to the most recent data, the average annual premium on the fuel version is around 3500, compared to more than 4,000 for the platinum version。
The insurance company's logic is simple, because your car has a very expensive battery, and the cost of repair is high, so the premium is naturally high。
Looking at maintenance costs again, it is most misleading here。
On the small maintenance project, the platinum version is indeed cheap, and the fuel version costs $300 for a refuelling machine。
The problem, however, is that there are more battery detection projects in the pelican version, at $200 a time and every 20,000 kilometres, which add up to five years and a total of $1,000。
There is also a replacement of electric oil at a cost of $500 per 40,000 kilometres。
So, five years later, the total maintenance cost was $500 more than the fuel version, about $6,000 for the fuel version, and 6,500 for the piping version。
It's like saving money. It's actually "payment in instalments." it's just a little bit more。
The most troubling is the problem of batteries。
The nickel-hydrogen batteries used for the purpose of carola are designed to have a life of 15 years or 200,000 kilometres, with little change in normal use。
But if it does, like a long drive or extreme weather, the official exchange offer is scary, between 20,000 and 25,000。
Many of the car owners panic when they hear this number and think it's too much。
It is interesting, however, that no one in five years of operation has heard of any real change in batteries, and toyota has given eight years of 200,000 kilometres of quality security, which would have to be compensated for。
In this case, the "charter cell" is more of a psychological stress, and the probability of actually occurring is almost negligible。
A lot of people were saying in the comment section, "don't you think you're saving your grandmother's house? Why are there so many holes in the car?"
But it was only when the bill was carefully drawn that an interesting phenomenon was found, and the money saved could really offset most of the extra expenses。
The problem was not how expensive the car was, but how it was calculated, and some projects did need to be counted ahead。
Part two: how does the province and the flower of carola's twins work
One might ask: "where does the money come from when you say "move cars"? Why spend more money? We have to look at these two pieces separately to understand why someone is willing to pay more for them。
First of all, where to save -- the core is the ths hybrid system, over which toyota has a lot of black technology。
The 2224 carola twins uses an eight-litre atkinson cycle engine combined with a constant magnetic-synchronous electric machine, with 40 to 41 per cent heat efficiency for the engine and 38 per cent engine for the fuel version。
This difference in heat efficiency does not appear to be significant, but it can be felt in actual driving。
When travelling in urban areas, two berylliums are given priority for electricity, which is essentially pure electrically driven at speeds below 40 yards per hour, completely free of engine noise and vibration。
High-speed switching to hybrid oil and electricity models, in which engines and generators work together, maximize efficiency。
According to empirical data, the oil consumption in the urban areas of carola is approximately 4 to 4. 05 litres per 100 km, compared to 5. 88 litres in the fuel version, which cut off about 30 per cent。
The advantage of high-speed combined oil consumption of 4. 5 litres compared to 6. 2 litres of fuel is also evident。
At current petrol prices, the price of oil in beijing in november was $6. 84 a litre。
If you run 15,000 miles a year, mainly downtown, double-pips save around 199 dollars a year。
Five years is almost a million dollars of fuel, and that figure starts to be convincing。
This has not yet been factored into a possible further increase in oil prices, which would have saved even more if they had reached $8 per litre。
The amount spent is also concentrated on the maintenance of batteries and systems。
Batteries have long lifespans, but the costs of detection and protection are higher than those of conventional fuel vehicles。
Electrical oil requires specialized additives, battery detection requires specialized equipment, and toyota authorized four s stores have this set of equipment at a cost to each car, which is naturally more expensive。
The electrical control units of the mixed systems, high-pressure lines, and spare parts, which are also more expensive, are officially explained by toyota's higher technical complexity, with r & d costs spread over sale。
This explanation sounds a little far-fetched, but it is true。
There was a new change at that time, when toyota upgraded the battery from 160,000 km in eight years to 200,000 km in eight years。
This upgrade covered the life cycle of the vast majority of the owners, amounting to one pill for the user。
You don't have to worry about paying for your own battery after five or six years. It's just a relief。
In short, the province of the corola twins is real, not fake。
Almost 30 per cent of the fuel consumed in urban areas was cut off directly, and the cost of the oil could be saved nearly 10,000 pieces over five years。
It's also a limited amount of money, except for the "theoretically possible, but in practice rarely" battery, the additional cost of insurance and maintenance is about a thousand more a year。
It's not a big deal。
Part iii: what is toyota thinking behind the cost of a car
Now that the problem is getting interesting, why would toyota push this product so hard, given that the cost of double-shelf cars is not so terrible
There's so many cars in the market, why can't carola double make it? There must be deep logic behind this。
On a large scale, it's a "carbon-neutral" pressure on a global company。
Major global markets, including china, japan and the united states, tightened emission standards for fuel vehicles to varying degrees。
Even though pure trams are more environmentally friendly, problems such as re-routing anxiety, charging infrastructure and so forth still plague many consumers。
Mixing technologies have become one of the best transition options, much less worrying than pure electricity and more environmentally friendly than conventional fuel vehicles。
Toyota, the nostrils of mixing technology, had been launched in 1997 and had to hold the position, otherwise the market would be given to its competitors for nothing。
From a small point of view, carola's piping policy is actually smart。
The initial sale price is 13,988 thousand, similar to the high price of the fuel version, but using the long-term "five-year fuel savings plus low failure rate" to address the consumer's concerns about the cost of the car。
In march, toyota also launched a national "single price" that dropped directly to $8980,000。
Tell consumers you can not only save oil, but i'll give it to you when you buy a car。
Consumers are smart, they'll settle。
Although maintenance insurance would be more expensive, the savings of five years of fuel would be sufficient to cover these additional costs and would be surplus。
More importantly, hybrid vehicles do not have to change their fuel habits, do not have to fear that they will not be able to find a charger, as is the case with a pure tram, and are used with no psychological burden。
This feeling of seamless substitution is very attractive to many consumers。
More crucial support is technical endorsement。
The reliability of the toyota mixing system has been verified by more than 20 million mobile car owners worldwide。
The failure rate is less than 1 per cent, which is the highest level in the car ring。
In particular, the critical component of nickel hydrogen batteries is particularly stable, less prone to heat out of control than lithium, and can be used for eight years。
Toyota has also introduced "mixed exclusive services", free battery health tests and priority maintenance corridors in 2002, which are further reducing consumer anxiety。
In business logic, toyota does not sell a car, but rather a way of life that is "a little less expensive"。
You might spend a little more on maintenance and insurance, but in exchange for confidence in quality and security for the future。
This exchange of value is worthwhile for many consumers。
Part four: the internet is rumbling. You must have thought about the car
Once the car bill was made public, the comment area blew up and problems arose。
Some were concerned about the reliability of the batteries, others were concerned about the cost of insurance and others wondered whether the $500 maintenance fee was worth anything。
These are practical questions. Let's pick out some of the most typical things to talk about and see what's going on。
"is the battery really not broken? What if after eight years? That's the most people ask。
Official data show that the failure rate of the carola binary batteries produced prior to 2002 was below 05, almost all extreme cases, such as prolonged use of vehicles in harsh environments。
For a period of 200,000 km over eight years, there is little concern。
What if the battery's broken after the quality assurance period
Third-party maintenance stores have been able to provide domestically compatible batteries, and prices have dropped to around $10,000, almost half as cheap as official prices。
In addition, toyota is developing a new generation of lithium battery mixing systems, which are expected to be loaded in 2002, at lower cost and with more choice。
From this point of view, the sky-price battery's anxiety is not really necessary。
"is there a cheap way to buy insurance that expensive?" that's a practical question。
The key is to choose the species。
The price of the platinum is mainly due to the high battery premium, and the average annual premium can be reduced to about 3800 if you choose the option of "only third-party liability plus vehicle loss, but not battery damage alone"。
The gap with the fuel version was reduced to $300 at once, and the difference was accepted。
In addition, the premium could be reduced by 70 per cent for three consecutive years。
Some insurance companies also give discounts to new owners, so that the actual premium gap may be smaller than on the books。
"maintenance of $500 is worthless?" it's a good economic problem。
These $500 were used mainly for battery testing and replacement of electric oil。
Battery detection can detect potential problems in advance, such as uneven single-body voltage or reduced performance of a module, and early detection of early prevention can avoid greater problems。
The replacement of electric oil will ensure the efficiency of the mixing system and, if it is not replaced, the consumption may rebound, at which point the one-year savings will have to be filled in。
From this point of view, the $500 is more of a "insurance lock" than a "assurance lock" for your car。
Concluding: "the truth about carola's twin beaks: not "we can't afford it," but "we can settle it."
From this recently exposed bill, carola's twin is really not a zero-cost god。
This bill is used to say how expensive it is to raise a car, ignoring the cost of fuel saved in the following years。
Some say it's expensive, but they don't see many options for saving money。
Concern was expressed about the cost of batteries, which instead neglected to cover most life periods。
The truth is, the double-pip pressure on cars is not as scary as the internet。
Five years of saved fuel cover the full range of insurance and maintenance, and battery problems do not worry for the duration of the quality assurance period and there are affordable alternatives beyond the quality assurance period。
It suits people who want to save fuel and don't want to make a mess. They don't have to change their fuel habits, they don't have to wait for an anxiety charger, they don't get their wallets down for five years, and they drive smoother than the fuel version。
There's a good saying, whether it's a check or not, if you can buy a good car。
Carola twins is the kind of car that you're going to be more cost-effective, with a little higher initial input than the fuel version, but the long-term benefits make up the difference。
Next time someone says "we can't afford to afford it," we'll throw this bill over: hard data, face rumors。
If your budget is up to 150,000 to buy a walker, the choice is much simpler now。
The carola bikinis, which saves gas, but spends a little more money, or the fuel version of the "highly expensive but simple car."。
