In recent days, new ford explorers have come to the market for an initial sale of $0. 309 million, with a total of five vehicle models available, and at the same time they have been offered up to $55888 to purchase a car gift package to replace them with benefits such as free basic maintenance for life, life-long security for plant parts, etc。
As a medium-term changer, the new ford explorer has made a targeted upgrade in appearance, interior, intelligent configuration and practicality, continuing the 2. 3t+10at gold power mix, further integrating the hard genes with the luxuries, and further consolidating its “hard core american suv” positioning, bringing new and evolving experiences to chinese consumers. So what would be the cost of a higher value than suv in the subsequent period? Let's take a look。
Insurance costs: $7450 a year premium
At the level of the calculation of insurance costs, we calculate it on the basis of strong risk insurance, vessel taxes and basic commercial insurance, which is based on a million three-party liability insurance and vehicle loss insurance, while other risk consumers, such as those in vehicles, may choose to buy it on their own terms. Our prices do not take into account uninsured market discounts for many years。
We take as an example section 2027 of the expedition 2. 3t ecoboost, a four-way-through model of five vehicles, at a price of $0. 309 million for guidance, $660 per year for vessel tax, $950 per year for insurance, $6,500 per year for basic commercial insurance and $7450 per year for insurance。
Fuel costs: $14125 a year
Since oil prices have fluctuated more frequently in recent times and consumer concerns have naturally fallen on fuel consumption, what about the fuel economy of the car? Explorer section 2027 2. 3t ecoboost 4x5 with 2. 3t motors, moving matching 10 automatic transformers, wltc combined fuel consumption of 9. 57l/100km, requiring annotation of no. 92, combined with the current price of no. 92 in shanghai of $7. 38/l, at a cost of approximately $14125 per year at 20,000 km per year and $42375 per year for 60,000 km per year。
Maintenance costs: us$2791 per year
At the maintenance level, we calculate total maintenance expenditure based on 20,000 kilometres per year and 60,000 kilometres. According to the official maintenance policy, the new ford explorer would have to replace the oil, filtering and maintenance cycle of 10,000 km at 5000 km. In the end, let's consider the cost of maintaining 60,000 kilometres at $8375 and the cost of maintaining 20,000 kilometres a year at approximately $2791。
After adding fuel charges, insurance premiums, maintenance costs, etc., the explorer, section 2027, 2. 3t ecoboost, used five four-way-through editions for a year (20,000 km) at an estimated cost of $24,366 per month。
New ford explorers, with a larger ex-face-screech size, a more assertive acoustic aversion from complex lines, a pattern that begins to shift sharply from strength to strength, emphasizing vertically high and powerful mass, while retaining a strong vision。
The former bumper and the large lamp kit were designed completely newly, with the front face using a bit-formed borderless gradient fence, with a much narrower lamp formation, with a trans-ring light belt connected to a light-for-the-folk sign, with a full sense of technology; and a new "sahara gold" paint in the chinese market to give people a better sense of vision。
It is worth mentioning that the new car was designed as a whole, using two design packages, a red gold version following the city's luxurious commuting route, and a large number of chrome-plating decorations, highlighting the city's domestic aerobics and suitable for daily commuting, while the quinlon peaks presented a rich outdoor style, blackening off the field suite + wide-brow + unique markings, and suffocating the outdoors to meet the needs of different users。
On the interior, the new vehicle adapted to the layout of the entire medium-controlled area, with 27 inches of 4k ultra-broadband fish screen running through the middle console, carrying high-speed 8155 chips and the sync max machine system, integrating high-level depth custom navigation (in lieu of the original 100 degrees navigation) to support absconding voice control and offline functionality。
At the same time, the storage box was removed and replaced with a 50w mobile phone fast-filling device, the cup rack was removed simultaneously and replaced with an open panel, making it easier to drive on a daily basis; the second seat added ventilation, the second row was equipped with an administrative-level curtain, and the rear air-conditioning adjuster was replaced by a dial-up structure, which was used better on a daily basis. Furthermore, seat fillings have increased significantly by 50 per cent, the surface layer provides a sense of soft packages, and the ground floor uses high-density rigidity foams to provide solid support for long distances。
On performance, the new vehicle continues with a 2. 3t ecoboost engine, matching the 10-speed automatic transformer box, a smoother low-speed switching block, a full-system-coding smartly separated four-drive system and a tms 6-mode terrain management system, with a 2-drive/4-max phase switching. In addition, on driving aids and conveniences, the entire system is equipped with an advanced l2-level driving aids system, and the “blue driving” system is fully advanced, with the addition of active ultra-routing (bc1. 5) aids。
Summary: new ford explorers have a relatively high overall value for money, and combined fuel consumption, performance and configuration have performed well. In combination with 60,000 kilometres of insurance maintenance costs and fuel costs, we calculated a year's cost of approximately $2436, or $2030 per month, which is acceptable for a large suv。
