Toyota Calya and Daihatsu Sigra  are two cars that play in the same segment. As a car that is plotted as an environmentally friendly inexpensive car, both have a tag that is not too expensive. And, both are products of cooperation between Toyota and Daihatsu Indonesia in the low cost green car (LCGC) program.

The newest Daihatsu Sigra and Toyota Calya cars play in the small MPV segment. The status of both of them have the same call for a million cheap cars. We will try to discuss the maintenance costs of the two cars.

Which one is the cheapest? We will discuss the latest Toyota Calya first. To perform maintenance on the latest Toyota Calya cars, you should follow the recommendations given by the official repair shop. The official repair shop usually provides a benchmark for maintenance at 6 months or a distance of 1,000 km for a new car.

Toyota Calya Service Fee

Furthermore, the Toyota Calya service period can be done at intervals of 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months and so on every multiple of 6 months. We also tried to do a search about the range of maintenance costs. For distances of up to 1,000 km, service fees are still free. Meanwhile, when you enter a distance of 10,000 km or 6 months, you can spend around Rp. 500 thousand.

These costs are for engine oil changes, oil filters and lead balance on the wheels. Then the distance traveled 20,000 km or 12 months the costs incurred reached IDR 550 thousand. Replacement is the same as maintenance at a distance of 10,000 km.

The same costs as before were also incurred for maintenance over a distance of 30,000 km. When entering a distance of 40,000 km or 24 months, the money spent will be greater, reaching around IDR 1 million.

The components on the Toyota Calya that are replaced include engine oil, oil filter, wheel balance lead, air filter, brake fluid and transmission oil. At a distance of 50,000 km, the components replaced are equivalent to a distance of 10,000 km at the same cost.

As for major services, it will occur when the car reaches a distance of 80,000 km, equivalent to 48 months. The components that were replaced were also more such as engine oil, oil filter, wheel balance lead, brake canvas, gasoline filter, transmission oil and fanbelt.

The range of costs that must be paid reaches Rp. 2.2 million. Meanwhile, when the distance exceeds 100,000 km, a service fee of Rp.415 thousand will be charged with component replacement reaching Rp. 890 thousand.

This fee is the cost of the latest recommended regular Calya maintenance . If there are other complaints, of course reimbursement can occur and are outside the costs that have been mentioned. However, the price for the maintenance of the Toyota Calya is still quite cheap and not burdensome.
