Is the Outlander a Domestic or Joint Venture Car?

[StJune]

To be precise, the Outlander is a joint venture car. Many people confuse the concepts of independent brands and domestic cars, but these are actually two completely different concepts. Definition of Domestic Cars: A domestic car refers to a vehicle designed and manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights. It can be understood that any car produced and manufactured in mainland China is called a domestic car. Therefore, the vast majority of joint venture brands fall under the category of domestic cars. Examples include BMW Brilliance, Beijing Benz, FAW-Volkswagen, and SAIC Volkswagen. The counterpart to domestic cars is imported cars. Only those completely produced and manufactured abroad are called imported cars. Definition of Independent Brands: Independent brands refer to vehicles with trademarks (factory logos) that are Chinese-owned, such as Great Wall Motors and Geely Automobile. Needless to say, these brands naturally belong to the category of domestic cars.
