For automakers, the technical cost is low, and for consumers, the consumption tax and usage costs are low. Low technical cost: 1.5T engines are easier to calibrate, and the technical cost is relatively lower. Compared to larger-displacement naturally aspirated engines, they are more conducive to maximizing mass production benefits. Low tax: According to current policies, the consumption tax for cars with 1.0-1.5L (inclusive) displacement is 3%, while for 1.6-2.0L (inclusive), it is 5%. Low usage cost: Maintenance and usage costs are low, making them suitable for the vast majority of Chinese families, with precise market positioning. Although there are many large-displacement models available, few domestic consumers purchase them. As a result, manufacturers and businesses produce according to this standard.
