[car home Car Information] We have made a separate investigation and analysis on the maintenance prices of conventional cars owned by Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi in the first two weeks. Today, we will make a big summary for everyone. Let’s take a look at the maintenance prices of these three brands.
![](http://www.tristarphoto.com.cn/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/h6Bu9zII.jpg)
As for the choice of vehicle types, we have chosen two relatively representative vehicles in each of the three basics: medium-sized cars, medium-sized cars and luxury cars. In the field of medium-sized cars, they are Mercedes-Benz C200K and C260, BMW 320i and 325i, and Audi A4L2.0T;; The fields of medium and large vehicles are Mercedes-Benz E200 and E300, BMW 523Li and 530Li, and Audi A6L 2.0T and 2.4. Luxury cars are Mercedes S300 and S600, BMW 730Li and 760Li, and Audi A8L 3.0L and 6.0L, with a total of 17 models.
Medium-sized cars: Mercedes-Benz C200K, C260, BMW 320i, 325i, Audi A4L2.0T
Among the three luxury mid-size cars, the sales volume of Audi A4L has an absolute advantage in this class, and the 2.0T model is the best-selling displacement among them, while the 1.8T and 3.2L models are neglected. The same situation also appears in BMW 3 Series and mercedes benz c Class cars. The sales of BMW 320i and Mercedes-Benz C200K are good, but at the same time, the market performance of BMW 325i and Mercedes-Benz C260 is ok. Let’s take a look at the maintenance prices of these seven cars.

Judging from the price of routine maintenance, compared with Audi A4L and mercedes benz c, BMW 3 Series has obvious advantages in terms of both major maintenance and minor maintenance. The single maintenance price of Audi A4L model is moderate, but the maintenance price of mercedes benz c Class is obviously expensive, which is twice as high as that of BMW 3 Series basically listed.In terms of maintenance cycle, the original factories of Mercedes-Benz and BMW stipulate that 10,000 kilometers should be a minor maintenance and 30,000 kilometers should be a major maintenance, while Audi stipulates that 5,000 kilometers should be a minor maintenance and 15,000 kilometers should be a major maintenance, which is half of that of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. However, under normal circumstances, the staff of Mercedes-Benz and BMW 4S stores will advise the owners to do maintenance at 7000-8000 km, while Audi basically allows the owners to do maintenance at 7000-8000 km. Of course, the specific maintenance cycle will be determined according to the actual use of each car. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the actual maintenance cycle of these three cars is roughly the same.

"Audi original factory designated (Castrol OEM) SM 5W-40 all over synthetic engine oil"
In the choice of engine oil, these three luxury brands will naturally not be shabby, and SM-level synthetic engine oil is certain. Among them, the oil designated by Audi and BMW are all Castrol products. Of course, BMW will also provide two kinds of SM-grade all-synthetic engine oil products, namely Grey Shell and Jin Mobil No.1, according to the climate and environment of different 4S stores. As for Mercedes-Benz, there are not so many choices, so we just offer the 0W-40 all over synthetic engine oil. In terms of price, Audi is the cheapest, the unit price is 92 yuan/liter, followed by BMW at 125 yuan/liter, and Mercedes-Benz is relatively expensive at 168 yuan/liter.
At the same time, the editor needs to explain something here, about the amount of oil. Mercedes benz c-class cars have a big appetite. As a four-cylinder car, C200K can be said to have a considerable amount of better engine oil of 6L at a time. The oil consumption of V6 engines of C230, 260 and C300 is 8.5L. As a four-cylinder car, BMW 320i needs about 4.5L to change the oil once, and the oil consumption of the straight six engine of 325i model is about 6.5l.. The 2.0T engine oil consumption of Audi A4L is basically the same as that of BMW 320i, ranging from 4.5L to 5.0L..

Medium and large cars: Mercedes-Benz E200, E300, BMW 523Li, 530Li and Audi A6L 2.0T, 2.4.
At present, in the field of medium and large-sized cars in China, Audi A6L has a higher dominance than Audi A4L in medium-sized cars. The annual sales of more than 100,000 vehicles are astounding, and the relatively low-end 2.0T and 2.4L models are the main sales products. With the development of domestic market in recent years, BMW 5 Series has also achieved good results. Among them, 523Li is the absolute main product, and 530Li has won the appreciation of some high-end users with its rich configuration and excellent power. As for Mercedes-Benz E-Class, although the market performance is average, we can’t ignore its existence with its golden signboard of "three-pointed star". Especially in recent months, with the lower price of imported Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars, the sales of Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars have a gradual upward trend. Among them, E200 and E300 are relatively representative. Let’s take a look at the maintenance price of these cars.

Judging from the price in the above table, the large maintenance cost of Mercedes-Benz E-Class is still the most expensive, but the small maintenance cost is reasonable. Take the E200CGI model with M271 1.8L in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine as an example, the small maintenance price of replacing oil and machine filter is 1783 yuan, which is reasonable compared with the price of six-cylinder BMW 5 Series Xiaobao of 1115 yuan and Audi A6L with different displacement models of 1300-1600 yuan. But if it is replaced by a six-cylinder Mercedes E300 model, the price will be much more expensive.

However, if we compare the large maintenance prices of the replacement oil filter, air filter and air conditioner filter of these three models, Mercedes-Benz is obviously much more expensive. Doing roughly the same maintenance content, the cost of Mercedes-Benz is basically twice that of BMW, and it is about 50% more expensive than Audi.
Luxury cars: Mercedes S300, S600, BMW 730Li, 760Li and Audi A8L 3.0L and 6.0L.
In the field of luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz BMW has finally found its face, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class can sit firmly in this basic model and it is difficult to shake in the short term. Bmw 7 series, with the launch of E66 in China, has also achieved good market performance. As for Audi A8L, although China has a special preference for this brand, it also has a certain sales volume, but it is much worse than Audi A6L and A4L. As for the choice of car models, the editor chose the entry-level Mercedes S300, BMW 730Li and Audi A8L 3.0, and their respective flagships, 12-cylinder models.

As a million-class luxury car, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8L can’t match the maintenance cost of these three models naturally, but judging from the small maintenance price of normal oil change and machine filter, BMW is still the cheapest of these three brands. Even the 760Li of V12 is less than 1,500 yuan at a time, which is quite surprising. The price difference between Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8L is not too much, both of which are around 2000-2500 yuan. Only Audi A8L 6.0L has a higher price, close to 3,000 yuan. As for the big maintenance cost, BMW is the cheapest, Audi is the second, and Mercedes is the most expensive. Among them, the price of Mercedes-Benz is twice that of BMW and about 50% more expensive than that of Audi, which is roughly the same as that of previous models.
Editor’s comment:
With the increasing competition in the domestic auto market, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, the three German luxury brands, are getting closer and closer to our lives. Nowadays, you can buy a BMW 318i, Audi A4L or Mercedes-Benz C180K for more than 200,000 yuan, and you can drive the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6L or the original imported Mercedes-Benz E-Class for about 400,000 yuan. Although on the whole, these cars are not very close to the people, in any case, compared with 10 years ago or even 5 years ago, they can be said to be a big step closer to the lives of the people.
But at the same time, we can often hear many people say that entry-level models of luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi can afford them, but they can’t afford them. Today, the editor hopes that through this article, everyone can have a simple but systematic understanding of the general maintenance prices of these three brands of cars, hoping to help you choose, use and raise a car. At the same time, in the near future, we will launch more articles on the horizontal comparison of maintenance prices of the same grade vehicles, so please look forward to it.
