For Chinese consumers, car quality is one of the most important indicators for car purchases, which is why brands such as Toyota and Honda can sell well. In the United States, they pay more attention to quality because... Their repair and maintenance car costs much more than ours.
Just recently, J.D.Power, a research institute in the global automotive industry, released the 2022 annual automotive brand quality ranking. Compared with the previous year, this ranking has also changed a lot, we may wish to take a look.
(The report collected samples from July to November 2021, 30,000 real car owners in the United States)
In 2021, the top five brands in the quality ranking are Lexus, Porsche, Kia, Toyota, and Buick. In this 2022 annual list, the top five brands have become Kia, Buick, Hyundai, Genesis, Toyota, which can be described as a comprehensive victory for Korean brands.
And in the overall trend, the average reached 192 (PP100), that is to say, on average, every hundred cars, there are 192 problems, compared to 2020 and 2021 increased by 58 and 69, the quality of the car is not in the back, this "American quality" is really not bad.
It can also be said that "the quality of American cars in 2022 is not as good as the quality of Chinese cars in 2021", in the 2021 car quality ranking released by J.D. Power China, the average chinese brand is only 148, the mainstream brand is only 144, and the luxury brand is only 139.
Therefore, the professor suggested that Ha, "the official website of the United States is 'proud of Made in the United States' and replaced it with 'Proud of Made in China'." In addition, the decline in the quality of American cars is likely to be affected by the epidemic, and the lack of personnel has even slackened quality control.
In recent years, Korean brands have been catching up in the North American market. Although Kia is not the concubine of the "Hyundai Group", the brand tone is undoubtedly more advanced, so Kia can also directly use the brand for high-end. Its quality is really built, from the model point of view, it is Stinger, Sportage and other fuel models, and can not open another seesaw to reduce the failure rate.
In the follow-up, it will also have many pure electric models on the market, as the forerunner is the EV6, and the professor is also looking forward to its quality performance.
As the most popular and largest car brand in the United States today, Buick naturally has its own quality control, and it is now mainly based on pure fuel vehicles, using the engine and gearbox on Cadillac. The brand itself also wants to create a sense of premium in the mainstream brand, so the quality aspect is bound to not give up.
Hey, due to the sluggishness of the US auto manufacturing industry and the planning of GM Group to import new cars in 2015, these Buicks are afraid that they are not "Made in China", after all, the United States has imported Oncovi from China in the past, and China has exported 35,000 Encore in 2020 alone.
As the "pro-son" of modern enterprises, Hyundai naturally has a good performance, and the actual and ranked Kia, there are only 3 more (PP100).
More importantly, it has a more complete product matrix, focusing on small, compact markets. The high-end market is actually handed over to Geniseis, and like Kia, it has launched the Ioniq 5, a pure electric model, which can further improve the overall quality of Hyundai, which is still unknown.
As a modern high-end brand, I believe that there is no need for professors to introduce more. But its high quality is also not built on hyundai-Kia. First of all, it uses a new flagship platform to create models, the model is basically based on the longitudinal rear drive, the powertrain is brand new; secondly, as a high-end product, it is loaded with more body parts, electronic equipment, and more possibilities for failure.
However, Geniseis has achieved the first luxury brand, surpassing the two powerful opponents of Lexus and Porsche, which is really remarkable. It now has G90/G70/GV80/G80 models in North America, and the G70/G80/GV80 has also been imported into China, so are you willing to accept it? (PS: Score 155)
The quality ranking of the old regular, is the quality of the second best luxury brand, as originated in the United States of Japan luxury brand, it naturally has to get dim sum, can not lose the high-quality gold paint signboard, Lexus in the United States has two major factories, to ensure the quality of production.
In addition to the fine management of the production system, its high quality also has the advantages brought by the THS hybrid assembly, and its structure is "simple" compared with the general gearbox and transmission mechanism, and the failure rate is relatively low. Therefore, in the quality rankings of Lexus and Toyota, the top ones are hybrid models.
This ranking may not be the true strength of American cars, but it is indisputable that the quality of Chinese automobile manufacturing has surpassed that of the United States, and most of these Chinese brands are better than foreign brands. I also remembered what I saw on a Japanese North American official website a few days ago - proud to be made in the United States... But now, let's say "proud of Made in China", consumers do not need to worship those "imported quality", after all, some Chinese manufacturing quality can be better.
