Toyota and Volkswagen are different in details, “one more and one less”. Why is the latter more popular?

Introduction: Toyota and Volkswagen are different in details, "one is more and one is less". Why is the latter more popular in terms of car-making technology, building platform, car-building concept and vehicle quality? These are the points we pay most attention to when buying a car. . Speaking of this, I believe some people will say that they never look at these things when buying a car. What they value is the appearance, configuration and performance of the vehicle. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this view, but these things are also It is precisely included in the items we mentioned before. For example, appearance is a combination of car-building technology, building platform and car-building concept. The same is true for configuration and performance. It is the quality of the vehicle and the building platform, so Basically there is no difference! Among many domestic joint venture brands, Volkswagen and Toyota are both popular brands among consumers. However, after comparing these two brands, we can easily find that there are some subtle gaps between them. Of course, here The gap is not about configuration, exterior design and interior layout, we are talking about the details! In terms of detail processing, the difference between Volkswagen and Toyota is that "one has more and the other has less." As for what is one more and the other less? In fact, fundamentally speaking, it is the different materials used and the gap in car-making technology that lead to differences in the details of the two brands. In Toyota cars, we can often see the existence of various sealing strips, but on Volkswagen models, there are very few details of using sealing strips. Sealing strips are only used in more important positions. ,This is why? Could it be said that Volkswagen's car-making quality is not as good as Toyota's? In fact, the sealing strip of the vehicle itself not only ensures the sealing of the vehicle, but also covers the solder joints at the joints of the vehicle body, so that the vehicle looks more like a whole. Having said that, according to this logic, wouldn't the more sealing strips, the better the appearance of the vehicle? Why do consumers still prefer the latter? The situation is like this. We all know that the vehicle itself is not a real whole. It relies on various individual parts that are spliced ​​together and then welded together with the consent of the manufacturer. Since it is a welding process, there will be "scars" left by welding on the vehicle itself, and the level of the welding process will determine the number of seals. If the welding process is excellent, there will be much less joints to cover. In the same way, if the welding technology is not perfect, there will be more joints to cover! The Toyota brand is the most popular Japanese brand in the domestic market, but when it comes to welding technology, its performance does not have any advantages. As we all know, there are many welding processes for automobiles, but the cost of each process is different. Of course, the more expensive the cost, the better the welding level. Toyota's welding process itself has a lower cost, so There will be great deficiencies in vehicle sealing and visual effects. In order to cover up these deficiencies, Toyota has to use a large number of sealing strips. To perform secondary processing on the welding joint to avoid damage to the car body caused by humidity in humid weather. This processing method is also a common problem of Japanese cars, which is why they are relatively brittle. Of course, the materials used are more economical, this machine is relatively fuel-efficient, and the cost will be reduced. But Volkswagen is different. Volkswagen uses a technologically advanced laser welding process. The cost of this process itself is very high. As we said before, the cost is high, but the overall effect after it is built is very good. , because laser welding technology says that the details produced by welding are very good, and in terms of gap treatment, it is also much better than ordinary welding technology. In fact, most German cars use this laser welding machine technology. Because of the advanced welding technology, there is no need for sealing strips for decoration. However, in order to make the vehicle more tightly sealed, it is also necessary to To prevent omissions in the welding part of the vehicle, Volkswagen will also use some sealing strips to optimize simple details of the vehicle! Summary: Although compared with Volkswagen, Toyota has great deficiencies in car manufacturing technology and car manufacturing quality. Moreover, because of different car series and differences in car building concepts, it also leads to differences in the production process. , but to be honest, although the manufacturing process of Toyota cars is indeed worse than that of Volkswagen, when it comes to the strength of the car body, it is also not as good as German cars like Volkswagen!
