Joint venture cars are often much more expensive than domestic cars. Because the joint venture car has its own core technology, mature production platform and supply chain, and many parts of domestic cars need to be purchased from abroad, the cost of domestic cars is much higher than that of joint venture cars. Joint venture cars cost less, why are they more expensive than domestic cars? The old driver told the truth. First of all, the main reason is that domestic cars lag behind joint venture cars in core technology. The automobile industry is a place where technology makes a living. Domestic cars started late and the technology was weak. Until now, many domestic automobile brands don't even have their own engine technology.
Who is qualified to compare the price with the joint venture car? On the other hand, most joint venture brands have mastered mature core technologies, and engine technology has been ahead of domestic cars for many years. Although their engine manufacturing cost is low, their technical level is much higher than that of domestic cars. Secondly, the joint venture vehicle products are more powerful. What kind of price a car can sell is actually not determined by the cost, but by its own product strength. Generally speaking, joint venture vehicles have lower fuel consumption, more reliable quality and more stable engine than domestic vehicles, which are the embodiment of the stronger product strength of joint venture vehicles. Many domestic cars have a bunch of minor problems after driving for two or three years, and the quality is worrying. And joint venture brands like Toyota, Honda and Volkswagen, it is difficult to have big problems after four or five years, which is naturally more expensive than domestic cars. The third reason is that the development cycle of joint venture cars is much longer than that of domestic cars.
As you can see, new cars come on the market from time to time, and these new cars are mainly made in China. Brands like Geely and Haval can be said to be new cars. This is because the development cycle of domestic cars is very short, and a new car can be built from scratch within one year. Toyota, Volkswagen and other brands rarely launch new cars, because they design a car, which is slow for four or five years and fast for two or three years. As the saying goes, after a long period of polishing and adjustment, the value of joint venture cars is naturally higher than that of domestic cars.
