What are the differences between imported cars and joint-venture cars?

[VanSophia]

Here are the differences between imported cars and joint-venture cars: 1. Different channels: Imported cars are imported as complete vehicles; joint-venture cars are either domestically produced as complete vehicles or assembled in China after importing some parts, with some models undergoing minor modifications. 2. Different configurations: Imported cars come with complete configurations; joint-venture cars may omit features such as bumpers, anti-collision beams, daytime running lights, and ESP, which can affect vehicle safety. Additional information: Imported cars refer to vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturers. Joint-venture cars are produced by Chinese and foreign investors jointly, where the Chinese side provides land, factory usage rights, and capital, while the foreign investors contribute the brand, technology, capital, talent, etc., for domestic assembly and sales.
