Today, in the Chinese auto market, German brands occupy the top position in terms of sales, whether they are joint venture brands or luxury brands. Japanese brands, although also popular with consumers, have never topped the sales charts. Why did this happen?Today we're going to talk about that.
German cars were the first of all models to enter the turbocharged era. As soon as the 21st century began, German cars began to promote turbocharged engines. Compared to Japanese cars, which widely used naturally aspirated engines, German cars with turbocharged engines have an advantage in terms of power.
For the average consumer, while most people won't actually drive vigorously on the streets, no one will say no to higher power**, so German models with better power are naturally more popular than Japanese models. Analysis of defects and failures of German and Japanese cars, there are many small problems in German cars.
This is not because the technology of German cars is not good, nor that the Germans are not as careful as the Japanese. It's because the Germans are innovating and using new technologies in automotive technology. For example, German cars were the first to use turbocharged engines, which also brought dual-clutch transmissions to car owners. German cars are very bold in the application of new technologies.
The turbocharged engine and dual-clutch transmission were arguably introduced with flaws, which also led to the collapse of the reputation of German cars. As everyone knows, the Japanese invading army committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people. The most despicable thing is that they cover up and do not recognize their fascist acts. So, from the point of view of national feelings, no matter how good the car is.
A lot of people just don't buy it. Japanese car!This sentiment is understandable, and it will naturally affect the sales of Japanese cars. In particular, some Japanese cars were smashed, which affected the sales of Japanese cars. German cars are indeed better than Japanese cars in terms of sheet metal material, door closing sound, paint thickness, hardness, etc.
The Chinese have always believed that a car with solid workmanship and thick sheet metal is a good car. German cars firmly grasped this and affected the psychology of car buyers. On the contrary, although the quality of the three major parts of Japanese cars is reliable, the parts that can be seen and touched, such as body sheet metal, are relatively simple. For many Chinese who don't know much about cars, this is unkind.
So more and more people are buying German cars. Compared with the German turbocharged models, the Japanese naturally aspirated models have no advantages in terms of speed, environmental protection, and fuel savings. Even nowadays, many young people completely lose interest when they hear about a naturally aspirated engine with a CVT gearbox, even if the exterior of the model has been changed to become more sporty.
Young people are now the main consumers of family cars. Although many people like to tout that the Japanese are the originators of turbocharging, and although the turbocharged engine was invented by the Swedes, the question of whether the turbocharged engine can be used in the laboratory and in the field, and whether its quality can be maintained in mass production, are two different things.
Everyone on earth knows that Honda's final mass-produced Earth Dream 15t turbocharged engine has a significant increase in oil. Japanese cars are most concerned about fuel efficiency and durability. They are relatively fuel-efficient and worry-free, but they lack the communication between people and cars and lack fun. German cars pursue control and power, and it is true that they are better to play, but they are less durable. German and Japanese cars have their own advantages and disadvantages. As for the choice, it still depends on your own needs.
