1) In order to ensure the handling, stability and safety (body rigidity) of high-speed driving, the chassis of German cars is full of materials, especially strong (the top speed of German cars with the same displacement is mostly higher than that of Japanese cars, for example, the top speed of 1.8 liter Corolla is only 20 km/h lower than that of 1.8 Bora /GOILF. Look at XCAR Club and install a few more balance bars to know the difference. German cars are hardly equipped with balance bars, while Japanese cars are everywhere!
2) German cars are mostly equipped with high-strength guard plates at the bottom of the engine, while Japanese cars are basically not equipped except mid-to high-end cars (the single weight difference is at least 20-30 kg);
3) German cars adopt front and rear high-strength reinforced energy-absorbing bumpers (golf is a typical example). The so-called collision energy absorption of Japanese cars is to protect passengers at the expense of protecting the internal parts of the car. Middle-low speed collision will cause serious deformation of the collision site, often hurting internal parts, which will greatly increase the maintenance cost. Fit is a typical representative);
4) German cars with the same displacement often carry 30% more load than Japanese cars! (Bora/Golf with the same displacement is higher than Corolla 150kg! )。 For this reason, the damping spring of German cars is thicker and the damping device is naturally heavier.
5) German cars (such as POLO and golf). ) Adopt double-sided galvanized steel plate rust prevention technology, cavity wax injection technology and multi-layer painting technology to ensure that 12 body does not rust, and Japanese cars are omitted.
6) The tire width of German cars with the same displacement is often one size larger than that of Japanese cars, which also increases the weight.
Anyone with a little knowledge of physics knows that moving a heavy stationary object needs to overcome greater inertia and consume more energy. Similarly, the heavier a car is, the more fuel it consumes, especially when there is traffic jam in the city.
The reason why Japanese cars are light (relatively fuel-efficient) is the result of "cutting corners", and its so-called fuel-saving is at the expense of reducing safety and handling to a certain extent.
As can be seen from the international car prices, Japanese cars are generally in the middle and low grades (except a few high-end cars such as Lexus), and Japanese cars are designed to meet the basic safety and transportation requirements of users. As for the fun and taste of manipulation, there is no way to talk about it. Buying a Japanese car can't improve your status.
With regard to the concept of a car, the European idea is that I can't have a problem driving it across Europe. The American thought is that I drove from the east coast of the United States to the west coast, and the effect was very good. When the Japanese answered the question of why everything in China broke down two years later, they said, "In Japan, even if you live in a car every day, you have to run 10,000 kilometers a year. Who would have thought you could run 50 thousand kilometers a year! The Japanese changed cars after driving for three years. You have to drive 15 years. Who do you blame? "
Europeans and Americans invented cars from human needs and imagined and studied them from scratch. Japanese learn to make cars in order to make money. So he took what others had and tried to make it cheaper! Japanese cars entered the American market in the 1970s, when energy was tight and oil prices rose. -He's the most fuel efficient.
Do you know how cars save fuel? -The car is light! Wind drag coefficient is not the most fundamental factor, because the effect of wind drag coefficient is related to speed. Why do Europeans and Americans (especially Germans! But don't produce cheap cars with the same fuel economy to compete with them? Because they make cars for different purposes! ! !
Germans want to make cars light, so they want to replace steel plates with aluminum alloys. The cost is prohibitive! The Japanese want to make the car light, so they directly replace two thick steel plates with 0.8 ones. As a result, the cost is reduced and the oil is saved! ! !
Did the Germans really not think about doing this? Is it really that stupid? The Germans really didn't think of doing this! But he is by no means an idiot! ! !
As mentioned above, due to the different geographical environment of their lives, their understanding of the concept of cars is different, and their purpose of making cars is also different. What is the direct result of the result? For example, two people each drive a Japanese car and a German car and hit the wall at the same speed. At 50 kilometers, the Japanese commentator said to the driver: "Look, this is the latest technology: the engine sinking technology ensures that it will not enter the cab and cause harm to the driver; This is a three-stage energy-absorbing structure made by using the principle of energy absorption, which ensures that it absorbs collision energy through sufficient deformation and ensures the safety of drivers. " This car has been scrapped. The German commentator only said one sentence to the driver: "Look, no problem." Then the speed 100 km. After the crash, the German commentator said shyly to the driver, "Sorry, your car is scrapped!" " "The Japanese commentator shouted at the driver," You deserve to die. How dare you drive so fast and hit the wall? "
What the Germans want is to make the engine room strong to ensure that the loss of the car is minimized in possible accidents. For people's safety, when the damage of the car is inevitable, the cab should be made stronger to ensure people's safety.
What the Japanese want is to make the cab as thin as possible in order to save costs, as long as the cabin is weaker than the cab-so that people will not be killed directly (the safety collision test can pass).
The direct difference between these two cars is that Japanese cars save fuel per 100 kilometers 1-2 gasoline. For every 10,000 kilometers, Japanese cars spend hundreds of dollars less on gasoline-provided there is no accident, because once an accident occurs, the comprehensive cost of repairing or even changing cars for Japanese cars is much higher than that for German cars. Don't just see that a bumper of a German car is several times that of a Japanese car. When German cars need to change bumpers, Japanese cars may have been scrapped! )
Think about how much you spend on buying a car, and you can drive tens of thousands of kilometers a year, and you will know whether it is meaningful to save this oil money! How good it will be for you to spend more gas money!
People should learn to love themselves and cherish their lives. Just as the Japanese have to import disposable chopsticks from China to protect their forest resources. In order to earn more profits, the Japanese especially don't care about your life in China! ! !
First of all, thank you for your support. A netizen asked me, "The German cars sold in China have also reduced their configuration." . Some netizens said: "The quality of this kind of car sold to China is inferior, and the quality in Europe and America is still good."
These friends have a point. This time I will try to analyze the difference between "quality" and "quality". For example, a friend said, "Korea has the most beautiful women abroad, and the streets are everywhere." Everyone can understand it completely, because it is basically fake. Another example is Hong Kong movies. Hollywood pays more and more attention to Hong Kong movies, but it doesn't mean that Hong Kong movies are qualified to be compared with Hollywood. Why? Because more than 60% of the best-selling Hong Kong movies can be found in Hollywood. It can be said that the absence of Hong Kong movies will not affect the development of world movies, while the absence of Hollywood will cause the retrogression of world movies. What are these two examples trying to illustrate? I just want to say the difference between quality and quality. What is good quality? Korean beauty can be said to be good quality! Quality is an external evaluation and the realization of some objective standards. What is good quality? Good quality is Hollywood movies! Hong Kong movies can be made more flashy (only martial arts scenes), bloodier and more tense than Hollywood. But without Hollywood, what we lose directly is our imagination (Hong Kong movies are largely Asian deductive versions of Hollywood imagination). Quality is internal, and it is the internal pursuit of imagination, originality and vitality! The result of Korean people's continuous rectification with what he thinks is the standard of beauty will not make Korean mothers give birth to more beautiful women who meet the standard, but will only make their beauty industry develop morbidly. And the final result is the inferiority of the whole nation!
By the same token, the Japanese can achieve good quality after returning to the car so far, but he has failed to achieve good quality. The original intention of the Japanese to make cars is because it is a very profitable industry. As we all know, his existing brand automobile enterprises are basically the second and third generation, because the first generation enterprises have been exhausted in the process of successively impacting the American market. At that time, there was no automobile consumption market in Japan. He made cars for export. At that time, the United States even made a set of jokes specifically for Japanese cars. In this process, Japan understood the concept of quality. And it does this-it allows users to find faults within a certain range. And all this stems from his imitation of Europeans' pursuit of car quality. Up to now, Japanese cars are useless in Europe.
Take a specialty store as an example. The peak dynamic response of European cars is a platform in a certain speed range, while Japanese cars are just a sharp point. In the same way, both cars claim to have ABS system, and German cars are usually associated with EBD. Japanese cars will be marked ABS+EBD on more expensive models!
Even the performance of the same ABS in the limit state is quite different. But this does not affect the quality of Japanese cars-because most users don't notice it. After all, only a few people can reach the limit. And once you encounter this extreme situation, it will be fatal! ! !
The difference between quality and quality is also reflected in the decrease in the configuration of German cars and Japanese cars sold in China. The Japanese not only want to make more money, but also have a morbid mentality in reducing the configuration of cars sold in China. Why is there such a morbid psychology? If you are interested, I will try to analyze it next time. ) The reason why Germans reduce their allocation is that China people's morbid love for Japanese cars leads to the reduction of costs of German cars and price competition with others. I said that in the international market, the price of the same car in Germany is higher than that in Japan 1/4- 1/3, and the sales of both sides are flat. Why do China people have this morbid psychology? If you are interested, I will analyze it next time.
Some time ago, I saw many articles about 3PK sagitar in the media. It doesn't matter to me whether these two cars PK or PK. I have looked at both cars carefully. Both cars are very attractive, and the particularly dynamic shape makes both cars positioned as sports cars, which I also think is very suitable; From the power system, Mazda's rotary engine and Volkswagen's turbocharged engine are world-famous engines. The first rotary engine was born in 196 1, while Volkswagen's turbocharged engine was born in 1966. Turbocharging was first used in aircraft engines and gradually used in automobiles. Although the rotary engine is the technical advantage of Japanese Mazda, in fact, the rotary engine was invented by German engineer Wankel. In June, 1988 1 1, Mazda Company of Japan purchased Wangker's engine patent. It can be seen that the root of Mazda engine is still Germany, which is the advantage of Germans in the engine. Perhaps it is the speed limit of German highways that makes more engine engineers crazy to improve their engines.
In the history of the world automobile industry, automobiles originated in Germany, which is good at stability, safety and handling, while Japan's geographical conditions (mountainous island countries) determine that Japanese automobiles also need good handling and stability. But in terms of power, Japan's requirements are not so strict, because there are many detours in Japan, and the speed can't go up, but it requires high maneuverability. For example, mazda 6 has good maneuverability. German highways have no speed limit, and most of them are straight roads. From then on, German cars should not only have good power, but also have safety and handling. It can be seen that in the case of high speed, they should not only have good safety but also have maneuverability. This is that German cars have one more chip than Japanese cars at high speed, and that is safety. Although this is a bit one-sided, it cannot be said that all Japanese cars and German cars are like that, but it must be the difference between most Japanese cars and German cars. Both Japanese cars and German cars are safe at a safe speed, but who is safer at ultra-high speed?
Of course, the above digression goes back to the main body of the article. Both Ma 3 and Ma 6 are good, and Ma 6 has won the love of many consumers as the king of corners. Jetta and Santana of German cars have been on the market for 10 years. Bora has a good market except for high price and weak rear space. Why is this? As can be seen from some details.
First, let's look at the details of Ma 6 and Ma 3. The shape designs of Ma 3 and Ma 6 are great, and Ma 3 has great power. Horse 6 is also known as the king of the bend. But you can take a closer look at the interiors and workmanship of Ma 3 and Ma 6. No matter mazda 6 or Mazda 3, their sound insulation effect is particularly poor. People who don't believe can compare themselves. In addition, the work of Ma 3 and Ma 6 is relatively thick, which can be seen from their tiny parts. Take Mazda's seat as an example. From the symmetry of the needle and thread of the seat and the fit between the plastic parts and parts of the seat, it can be seen that Mazda's interior decoration and workmanship are obviously heavy. At this point, I feel a little suspicious. Since Ma 3 and Ma 6 are willing to spend money on shape design and engine, why can't those interiors and some workmanship be improved or better? At the same time, the cost of interior decoration and workmanship can be compared with the cost of automobile design, engine, gearbox and other accessories. Who is taller? Maybe all fools know that the latter costs more, but why not work hard on interior decoration and workmanship?
Secondly, let's look at sagitar, even other models of German Volkswagen, and other German cars. What about their interiors and workmanship? There is a classic saying: Germans make cars like works of art, even if this sentence can't be used to describe all German cars, German luxury cars can be confirmed by this sentence. We can even see their interiors from the Jetta. Even the woolen seats are absolutely symmetrical, and sagitar is no exception. Why can I say that? Because I have carefully studied the interiors of the two cars myself.
At this moment, I thought of Wang Zhongqiu's book "Details Decide Success or Failure" that I had read before. I don't know about the interior of Mazda made in Japan, but judging from the workmanship of electronic goods in Japan, Japan's requirements for details are also very strict. After coming to China, Mazda's interior and workmanship became so rough. Why? Is Mazda fooling consumers in China? Although German cars also have some defects, such as high prices and stuffy appearance, they have done a good job in details and made great breakthroughs in technology research and development.
Finally, I thought of a sentence: if you can't even do the details well, can you continue to make great achievements? Maybe this is why Mazda was acquired by Ford. Is this one of the cultures of Mazda and German car companies? This is also a good reference for domestic cars. Since it is not as good as others in technology, let's work hard on the details! If the technology itself is not advanced and the details are not in place, how can consumers trust it?
