[ Pacific Auto Network Car Channel ] Since 2009, the domestic SUV market has seen a blowout. After the listing of Dongfeng Honda CR-V, the policy of “adding prices to the car” was proposed. Such a ridiculous thing can't stop the hot sale of Honda CR-V. Then, Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan also adopted the "price increase and car" strategy, and the results also received hot sales scenes. Is the Chinese like to "just buy expensive, don't buy right" or do you really have such a strong demand for SUV models? Why are you just choosing CR-V and Tiguan? Below we understand the two cars from the maintenance aspect and compare them.

● Sino-Japanese relations lead to a decline in CRV sales, Tiguan overtake

Since the listing of Dongfeng Honda CR-V, the sales volume has exceeded 10,000 per month, and it has also created the first price increase for Japanese cars, which shows that the demand is high. After the listing of Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan, it has been losing to CR-V in sales, but it is a strong opponent of CR-V. The magic is that Tiguan also used the method of fare increase to pick up the car and was also recognized by the Chinese. In the same year, the 10,000 yuan increase in price to remind the dealers to try. The good times did not last long. After the Dongfeng Honda CR-V became complicated in 2012, the Tiguan counter-overturned.

As can be seen from the data, CR-V sales have been pressing the road before September. In September, the sales volume of CR-V fell to 10,422 units, and Tiguan went against the trend. In September, sales reached 14,000 units. Volkswagen's sales are so high, it is estimated that by the end of this year, Volkswagen's year-end award can be paid 55 months.

● Dongfeng Honda CR-V

The first model to be introduced is the Dongfeng Honda CR-V. The CR-V has 2.0L and 2.4L engines, and is equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission. There is no manual transmission. In other words, there is no need to replace the manual transmission oil during maintenance. Then, the CR-V steering machine uses electric power boosting. This is good. It is stable at high speed. At low speeds, the steering wheel is light and easy to hit the steering wheel. The most important thing is maintenance-free.

●Complete vehicle warranty

We all know that Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda are in China. Dongfeng Honda's vehicle warranty policy is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, while Guangqi Honda's vehicle warranty period is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. However, the Dongfeng Honda CR-V is different from other Dongfeng Honda cars. The CR-V has a warranty period of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. According to the warranty period of the whole vehicle, does CR-V sell better to Guangqi Honda?

● wearing parts

Since Dongfeng Honda is so "small" will provide CR-V with a wearing part warranty period? The answer is yes, but the cycle is shorter. Consumables mainly include bulbs, tires, spark plugs, glass, brake pads, clutch friction plates, etc. The warranty period is 3 months or 5000 kilometers. In addition, the battery warranty period is 12 months or 20,000 kilometers . For this battery, Toyota is free to replace the first year warranty. Toyota will pay 50% in the second year and Toyota will pay 25% in the third year. Dongfeng Honda is 1 year or 20,000 kilometers. No wonder it has been chasing Toyota "running."

● Accessories price

In addition to the difference in the number of oils and the replacement of spark plugs for the 2.0L and 2.4L models of the Dongfeng Honda CR-V, the price of other accessories and the cost of working hours tend to be the same. It is estimated that the maintenance cost of the 60,000-kilometer 2.0L and 2.4L models will be relatively close, but this is only predicted from the accessories. The 60,000-kilometer maintenance will also involve the damage of the number of kilometers used by different parts, and finally 60,000. What is the maintenance price of kilometers, please look down.

The steering wheel of the Dongfeng Honda CR-V uses electric power, which is maintenance-free, and the first replacement mileage of the coolant is 10 years or 200,000 kilometers, and is replaced every 5 years or 100,000 kilometers. This is worthy of praise.

● 60,000 km maintenance cost

According to the "Maintenance Manual", the Dongfeng Honda CR-V is serviced every 5,000 km. Since the Dongfeng Honda CR-V has a 2.0L two-wheel drive and a four-wheel drive, and the 2.4L has a four-wheel drive, the following table shows the maintenance price and detailed maintenance of the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive of the 2.0L model.

2.0L: Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive maintenance costs

The 2.4L model has only a four-wheel drive function. Compared with the 2.0L two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive model maintenance form, the 2.4L maintenance form is easier to understand.

The 2.4L model has one less drive power than the 2.0L model, so the 2.4L price will be higher than the 2.0L two-wheel drive model in terms of maintenance price. The amount of oil to be replaced in the 2.4L model is 4.3L larger than the 4.0L 2.0L. In addition, the price of the spark plug, the 50 yuan of the 2.0L model became a 72L of 2.4L. Based on the above factors, the maintenance cost of the final 2.4L four-wheel drive model 60,000 kilometers is 5,435 yuan, which is higher than the 2.0 four-wheel drive model.

Summary: CR-V maintenance costs are among the very low-cost models among the 200,000-class SUVs. Perhaps for the owner of the fare increase car, this maintenance cost is not comparable to the fare increase.
