Bmw x3, mercedes glc, and audi q5l have performed very well in recent years in the luxurious medium-sized suv market, especially in the wake of bmw x3, the extension of the benz glc, and the transformation of the audi q5l, which have led to increased competition and continued increased market interest。
In this paper, we're going to look into the cost of the three hot cars, to see how much they need to spend a year, and who's going to be more generous. As before, we also consider the cost of maintenance, insurance and fuel costs, combining the three main aspects of vehicle costs to calculate the total cost of their annual use。
Maintenance costs
With regard to maintenance costs, it is clear from the table that the difference in maintenance costs between the three vehicles is still relatively large, with mercedes glc having the most expensive maintenance costs, bmw x 3, and audi q5l having the cheapest maintenance costs, as we have previously understood bba maintenance costs, the result is indeed unexpected。
Of course, all the maintenance costs we mentioned above come from 4s, so they may be higher in terms of cost performance, and many friends prefer to go to a specialized maintenance shop for maintenance, which would be lower。
Insurance costs
In terms of insurance costs, all three models provide multiple configuration versions for consumers to choose from, among other things, since the bmw x 3 30i and the mercedes glc 300 l 4matic amg-line top-pack models are largely unsold, we do not take the best-packed model to calculate insurance costs. So, bmw x3 and mercedes glc are all calculating their maintenance costs on the basis of the subtop model。
Audi q5l sells well on top of the car, so we're going to calculate it by its top, and, of course, as far as terminal prices are concerned, the audi q5l model already has over $90,000 in cash, of course。
Overall, the cost of insurance for the three vehicles is not much different and does not show significant differences。
It should be noted that the cost of this insurance, as we say, is relatively "full" and that, in the actual use of vehicles, the cost of insurance will decrease over the years, which is based on the cost of the first year's premium, which is naturally much higher and can be used as a reference by friends who buy new cars。
Fuel costs
In terms of fuel costs, we took the actual fuel consumption of the owners of the three vehicles, the most recent being $95 # petrol at $6. 12 per litre, and we use 20,000 kilometres per year for reference in terms of kilometres. Fuel costs can be derived for approximately one year using kilometre*/km/km* of oil。
In the calculation of fuel costs, benz glc had to bear additional costs owing to its high consumption of 100 kilometres, while bmw x3 and odiq5 had done much worse。
Total vehicle costs per year
We add the maintenance costs, insurance costs and fuel costs above to the cost of three vehicles per year. "scattered costs" such as parking fees, road passes and car washes are not counted because they are too personal。
It is clear that mercedes glc is still the most expensive, followed by bmw x3 and finally audi q5l, and that, looking at the data, mercedes glc is in fact suffering from maintenance and fuel costs。
