Audi Q3 Add 1.5T, lower fuel consumption and stronger power.

With the upgrading of young people's consumption level, more and more consumers are paying attention to luxury brands, and luxury brands have successively launched products with lower thresholds, but the practical compact SUV is still one of the most popular products. Recently, FAW Audi’s Audi Q3 has applied for a 1.5T version. The 1.5T will bring a richer product matrix to the Audi Q3 and provide consumers with more choices. Small SUVs like the Audi Q3 have also attracted There are many female groups, so what will happen to the cost of this 1.5T Audi Q3?

In terms of appearance, the new Audi Q3 continues to use the current design. The front face adopts a large-size air intake grille. The entire grille is wrapped by thick chrome strips, and the split headlights on both sides are somewhat sharp. The side of the body has smooth lines, and the five-spoke wheels below are simple and elegant. The shape of the rear of the car body is not too much embellishment, the taillights and the headlights echo each other, and the exhaust layout with two sides and two outlets is adopted. The body size is also expected to remain the same as the current model. The interior part, there is a high probability that there will be no change, and it is expected to continue to use the current interior layout. For the power part, the new car is expected to use the 1.5T engine mainly promoted by Volkswagen, with a maximum power of 118kW and a maximum torque of 250N m. Next, we will analyze the cost of maintaining a new car from three parts: insurance, maintenance, and travel expenses.

The first is the insurance part. According to Volkswagen’s past 1.5T pricing strategy, the 1.5T version is generally launched as a high-end version, and the price is basically at the same level as the 1.4T high-end version. Therefore, we speculate that the price of the new 1.5T version of Audi Q3 At around 300,000 yuan, we will refer to this price to calculate the next insurance cost. The first is the vehicle and vessel tax and the compulsory traffic insurance. The vehicle and vessel tax is calculated based on 1.0-1.6L (inclusive), and it is estimated to cost about 360 yuan. The compulsory traffic insurance is calculated based on a household with 6 seats, and the estimated cost is about 950 yuan. We calculate the commercial insurance according to the basic insurance. The third party liability insurance is calculated based on the standard of paying 3 million yuan, which is estimated to cost about 2,200 yuan, and the car damage insurance is estimated to cost about 4,800 yuan. The insurance fee for the first year is expected to be about 8,300 yuan. If there is no accident every year, there will be a corresponding preferential policy for the insurance fee for the next year, with a 15% discount for the second year and a 30% discount for the third year. According to this preferential calculation, the insurance cost in the second year is expected to be around 7,000 yuan, and the insurance cost in the third year is expected to be around 5,800 yuan. Based on the calculation of 60,000 kilometers in three years, all insurance costs are expected to cost about 21,000 yuan, and the average annual cost is expected to be about 7,000 yuan. Due to the different types of insurance selected for different needs, there will be some differences in insurance costs. The above data are for reference only, please refer to the actual situation.

Next is the maintenance part. Since the new car has not yet been launched, there is currently no information about the maintenance of the new car, so we choose the Volkswagen Sagitar that already uses the 1.5T engine as a reference. The maintenance cycle of this 1.5T engine is 10,000 kilometers, and the first maintenance is free at 5,000 kilometers. After the first warranty, the engine oil and filter need to be replaced every 10,000 kilometers, and the cost is estimated to be about 300 yuan. Starting from 15,000 kilometers, it is necessary to replace the air filter, air conditioning filter, spark plug and brake fluid every 20,000 kilometers. The cost is expected to be about 1,000 yuan. The fuel filter needs to be replaced when driving to 35,000 kilometers, and the cost is estimated to be about 90 yuan once. According to 60,000 kilometers in three years, all maintenance costs are expected to be around 4,500 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost is expected to be around 1,500 yuan.

The last part is travel expenses. Fuel costs account for the most expenses in daily travel, so next we will mainly calculate the approximate travel expenses based on fuel costs. Volkswagen Sagitar 1.5T is 5.77L/100km under WLTC comprehensive working conditions, and 1.4T is 5.96L/100km under WLTC comprehensive working conditions. According to the test fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Sagitar 1.5T and the actual usage, it is slightly lower than the fuel consumption of the 1.4T Sagitar. Therefore, the fuel consumption of the 1.5T Audi Q3 we refer to the fuel consumption of the current model 1.4T. Since the current Audi Q3 already has real fuel consumption feedback from reliable car owners, the actual fuel consumption is about 8L/100km. Therefore, we speculate that the fuel consumption of the 1.5T Audi Q3 is expected to be better than that of the 1.4T, so we calculate the fuel cost of the new car based on the actual fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km. No. 95 gasoline is added to the new car. According to the current market price of No. 95 gasoline, which is 9.07 yuan per liter, and based on the standard of 60,000 kilometers in three years, all fuel costs are expected to be around 40,000 yuan, and the average annual cost is estimated to be about 13,000 yuan. The average estimated monthly cost is about 1100 yuan. Due to different road conditions and driving habits will affect the actual fuel consumption, there may be differences, so the above data is for reference, please refer to the actual situation for details.

We add insurance, maintenance, and travel expenses together, and the average annual cost is estimated to be about 21,000 yuan, and the average monthly estimated cost is about 1,700 yuan. Among luxury brands, the Audi Q3 has lowered the threshold for luxury cars, and it is also relatively economical in terms of car costs. For consumers who want to try luxury cars, they will not worry about not being able to afford them because the cost of maintaining a car is too high.
