The reduction in the distribution of joint venture cars is still being robbed! Domestic cars have high configurations but are neglected! The reason is too realistic!

Now that we enter the car city, it is indeed a test of people for many friends who want to buy cars.

Especially if the budget is placed in the range of 100,000 to 200,000, you will find a particularly interesting phenomenon.

On one side is our domestic brand. Once the show car is opened, the feeling of technology and luxury comes to you. The large screen is larger than the tablet in your home. The seats are soft and soft. It also has heating, ventilation and even massage functions. The configuration single can be two meters long when pulled out, and I wish I could install all the functions I could imagine.

When you turn to the joint venture brand on the other side, at the same price, there may be a strong smell of plastic in the car. The central control screen is pitifully small and the reaction is half a beat slow. The seats are fabric. If you want a reversing image, you may have to sell it to you and count it into the optional package.

Logically speaking, this multiple-choice question should not be difficult to do. Who wouldn’t be willing to spend the same money and buy a higher configuration?

But the reality is that there are still quite a few people who ended up paying the money to the joint venture car that looked "nothing".

This makes people wonder why?

Is it because everyone doesn’t understand cars, or is there any deeper considerations behind this?

Let’s first say to be fair that the efforts put into practice in places where domestic cars are “visible” are indeed real.

This is not only a simple stack configuration, but also a deep understanding of our domestic consumers' car use habits.

Take the car system as an example. This may be the most obvious part of the daily car experience.

Domestic cars are generally equipped with intelligent car-machine systems, and their voice recognition is very sensitive. If you say "I'm a little cold", it can automatically increase the air conditioner temperature; if you say "find a nearby hot pot restaurant", the navigation will immediately arrange it clearly for you.

The entire operation experience is very smooth, like using a new smartphone.

In contrast, some traditional joint venture cars seem to be still in the previous era, with old interface design, complex operation logic, and slow navigation updates. In the end, many people simply gave up and honestly clamped a mobile phone stand at the air outlet.

This kind of experience gap that you have to face every day is real.

In addition, the attention to details of domestic cars, such as preparing several charging ports for you to charge your mobile phones; the storage space is cleverly designed, and there are places for your mobile phone, water cup and wallet.

These thoughtful designs make you feel that this car is like a life assistant who understands you, and considers all the small worries of daily travel in advance.

From this perspective, choosing a domestic car means choosing a more comfortable, convenient and smarter car life.

However, after all, cars are a complex industrial product. In addition to these visible and tangible configurations, there are also many "invisible" skills hidden in the skeleton and internal organs of the car.

These are the "three major items" that people often call - engine, gearbox and chassis.

These three parts are the core of determining the texture, long-term reliability and durability of a car when driving, and are also the embodiment of the technical accumulation of traditional automobile power over decades or even hundreds of years.

Our domestic engine technology can be said to have made great progress in recent years.

For example, Chery dares to make a promise of lifelong engine warranty, and he will never dare to say that without strong technical strength.

For example, BYD's hybrid technology has achieved a world-leading level in fuel-saving performance, and is even better than many Japanese brands known for their fuel-saving performance.

These are all great progress that we can see with the naked eye and are worthy of our pride.

However, we must also objectively see that in some aspects, the gap still exists.

For example, in terms of gearbox adjustment, especially dual-clutch gearbox, some joint venture brands such as Volkswagen, after years of market testing and technical iteration, their gearboxes have indeed become more mature in terms of smooth gear shifting and logical intelligence.

The feeling of driving is that whether you are walking around in the city or needing to accelerate rapidly on the highway, the transmission's reaction is very smooth, almost making you unable to feel its existence.

The dual-clutch of some domestic models will occasionally feel a little slight pause when following the car at low speed.

Although this does not affect safe driving, for people with more sensitive driving experience, this subtle difference can still be understood.

Speaking of invisible chassis, the knowledge here is even deeper.

The quality of a car's chassis is not only about what materials are used, such as whether it is an aluminum alloy suspension, but more importantly, the adjustment skills.

Many German joint venture cars will give you a very solid and heavy feeling when driving. The body is very stable when driving at high speed, and the lateral support is also very confident when turning. When passing through some potholes, the suspension movements are crisp and neat without any extra shaking.

This so-called "high-level sense" is the accumulation of years of adjustment experience.

Although some domestic cars are willing to use materials, after driving for a few years, some rubber bushings and other consumable parts on the chassis may age prematurely, resulting in the chassis feeling a little loose and some noise will be heard when passing the bad road.

Including the manufacturing process of the car body, such as whether the gap between the door and the car body is uniform, and whether the sealing strips of the car door will have abnormal noises on rainy days. Although these details do not affect the core functions of the vehicle, they really affect the owner's long-term use of the car and their perception of the quality of the vehicle.

Many consumers who choose joint venture cars may value this time-verified maturity and reliability at the mechanical level.

So, from the actual quality data and user reputation, what is the situation?

This is even more interesting.

If you look at the user reputation scores on some car websites, you will find that many domestic celebrity models have very high scores, such as Geely Xingyue L, Changan CS75PLUS, etc. Their user satisfaction even exceeds many joint venture cars of the same price.

This shows that the owners who bought these cars highly recognize their comprehensive performance in design, configuration, space, power, etc.

However, on some more professional lists that count the failure rate of vehicles with hundreds of vehicles, we will see that brands like Toyota and Honda are still at the forefront with their extremely low failure rate, especially in the reliability of core components such as engines and gearboxes, which do have a deep reputation foundation.

In contrast, some domestic cars have relatively more minor problems in electronic systems.

This is also easy to understand. After all, domestic cars are equipped with a large number of complex electronic devices. The more functions the more, the more likely the problem will increase theoretically.

This creates an interesting situation: domestic cars give you the most extreme enjoyment at the moment, but in the future you may need to bear some potential repair risks for non-core components; while some joint venture cars may give you a dull experience, but it promises to give you worry-free and stable in the next few years or even ten years.

What’s more dramatic is that in some areas where we once thought joint ventures were absolutely leading, the situation is taking a turn.

For example, the body was rust-proof. In the past, we always felt that the materials used for joint ventures were solid and more corrosion-resistant.

However, in recent years, in order to control costs, some joint venture brands have begun to "reduce their distribution" in these invisible places, resulting in the rust of the car in the wet areas in the south within a few years of driving.

On the contrary, in order to establish a reputation, domestic cars have been working harder in anti-rust technology, such as double-sided galvanized steel plates and hollow wax injection, which were previously only heard on high-end cars, are now used by many domestic cars worth more than 100,000 yuan.

This shows that the market is dynamic and there is no eternal king. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.

So, when buying a car now, you can no longer look at problems with your old eyes.

This is no longer a simple battle between "domestic" and "joint venture", but a specific choice that concerns personal needs.

Do you pay more attention to the current technological experience and configuration enjoyment, or do you care more about long-term worry-free and durable and the stability of mechanical quality?

There is no standard answer to this question, the key lies in yourself.

Go test drives more, feel more, and listen to the voices of real car owners around you, which is much more important than just looking at the brand halo.

Even those masters who have been working on cars for a lifetime have now begun to choose to drive domestic cars. This itself is a very strong signal, which shows that the times have really changed.
