Why are domestic cars cheap and joint venture cars expensive?

Because in the production of joint venture vehicles, the joint venture (technology provider, usually foreign) will collect technology use fees and some related patent fees, which will be reflected in the car price. There is another reason: in order to maintain higher profits and maintain a strong position, the price is deliberately higher.

In addition, it is true that the characteristics of imported cars, whether American, European or Japanese, have been printed in users' minds. In a word, it is "the original formula is still the familiar taste". Because of the tax, your price is certain. To put it bluntly, a joint venture car is the process of making foreign cars China. Of course, in order to reduce costs and increase competitiveness, some technologies and accessories have to be discounted in the manufacturing process, while domestic cars are completely in the self-help stage. From imitation to independence, they have experienced the hardships of innovation, and now they have occupied a certain market in China by virtue of low cost, low price and cost performance.
