Domestic cars and imported cars differ in the following aspects: 1. Differences in definition, design philosophy, configuration, and price. Both domestic and imported cars have their own advantages and cater to different groups of people, so both types of cars have their market and do not replace each other. 2. Domestic cars refer to vehicles designed and manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights and Chinese brands. Imported cars, on the other hand, are vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets without authorization from the brand manufacturers and introduced into the Chinese market for sale. Depending on the import source, they can be categorized as 'U.S. specification cars,' 'Middle East version cars,' etc., to distinguish them from 'Chinese specification cars' sold through authorized channels. 3. Domestic cars are generally independently developed and designed domestically, while imported cars are entirely developed and built abroad. The materials used in domestic cars are mainly sourced domestically, whereas joint-venture and imported cars mostly use materials produced abroad. 4. Currently, domestic cars have indeed developed rapidly, with continuous improvements in technology and quality. The characteristics and advantages of domestic cars are also quite evident, such as the more grand design in appearance and interior. The biggest advantage of domestic cars remains their high cost-performance ratio, surpassing joint-venture models of the same level in both configuration and space, while being more affordable in price. Therefore, domestic cars are suitable for consumers who prioritize cost-performance and practicality.
