How big is the quality gap between joint venture cars and domestic cars? Why do some people say that they don't buy domestic cars if they die? First of all, we need to clarify what is a joint venture car and a domestic car. Joint venture vehicles refer to models that are jointly produced by foreign car brands and Chinese car companies, such as Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, etc. Domestic cars refer to models independently developed and produced by Chinese auto companies, such as Geely, BYD, Changan, etc. The difference between a joint venture car and a domestic car lies not only in the brand, but also in the differences in technology, design, management, and market.
From a technical point of view, joint venture cars undoubtedly have more advantages, because foreign car brands have a longer development history, more mature technology accumulation, stricter quality standards, more advanced equipment and technology. Compared with domestic cars, the technology started late, the core technology is lacking, many parts and systems still need to rely on imports or cooperation, and the quality control and stability are not as good as those of joint venture cars. This has also led to the advantages of the joint venture car in terms of performance, safety, durability, energy saving, etc., as well as higher user satisfaction and reputation.
From the perspective of design, the gap between joint venture cars and domestic cars is gradually narrowing, and some domestic cars have even surpassed joint venture cars in terms of appearance, interior, space, and comfort. This is because domestic cars have increased investment in design in recent years, introduced foreign designers and teams, improved their design level and innovation capabilities, and are closer to the aesthetics and needs of Chinese consumers. Although the design of joint venture vehicles is constantly adjusting and improving, they are often unable to fully meet the personalized and diversified needs of Chinese consumers due to the constraints of global strategies and markets.
From a management point of view, the gap between joint venture vehicles and domestic vehicles is also narrowing, but joint venture vehicles still have certain advantages. This is because the management system of the joint venture car is more standardized and mature, with more perfect processes and systems, more efficient communication and coordination, stricter supervision and assessment, and stronger execution and discipline. Compared with the management system of domestic vehicles, there are still some deficiencies and problems, such as the lack of scientific and transparent decision-making, the lack of flexibility and coordination of the organization, the lack of professionalism and stability of personnel, and the lack of cohesion and centripetal force of culture.
From the perspective of the market, the gap between joint venture cars and domestic cars is widening, but domestic cars have greater potential and opportunities. This is because the market share of joint venture cars has reached saturation, and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough and growth in the face of more fierce competition and higher costs. Although the market share of domestic cars is not high, it has a broader space and more users, as long as it can improve the quality and brand, it will be able to gain more recognition and support. Domestic vehicles are also constantly expanding into new fields and markets, such as new energy vehicles, intelligent connected vehicles, mobility services, etc., showing stronger innovation and vitality.
To sum up, there is no definite answer to how big the quality gap between joint venture cars and domestic cars is, because the gap is different for different models and brands. However, we can see that domestic cars have made great progress in recent years, constantly narrowing the gap with joint venture cars, and even surpassing joint venture cars in some aspects. The reason why some people say that they don't buy domestic cars may be because they still stay in the past impressions and prejudices, do not understand and recognize the development and changes of domestic cars in time, and have not personally experienced and compared the advantages and characteristics of domestic cars. We should use a more objective and rational attitude to look at and choose joint venture cars and domestic cars, instead of generalizing, blindly following the trend, and missing out on a good car that is more suitable for us.
