What are the four major automotive brands in Taiwan?
2 Answers
Most Taiwanese cars are produced in collaboration with foreign brands, such as Ford's partner Liuhu Motors. The truly indigenous Taiwanese brands are Luxgen and the new energy vehicle Thunder Power. Here are the relevant introductions: Yulon Group Introduction: Founded in 1951, Yulon Group officially established China Motor Corporation in 1969 and later formed a joint venture to establish Luxgen Hangzhou Automobile Co., Ltd. Luxgen Features: The most famous Taiwanese brand car is Luxgen, primarily positioned in the SUV segment. In 2011, Luxgen's 7 SUV was launched in the mainland market, known for its high fuel consumption, high-tech configurations, voice control system, panoramic cameras, and notably its audio system. The audio system is the standout feature of this car, with excellent sound quality and stable bass and treble, although sales have not been particularly impressive.
When it comes to Taiwan's four major automotive brands, I think Yulon, China Motor, Hotai, and Ford Lio Ho are the most common. Yulon's Luxgen, like the U6 SUV, features avant-garde designs that are hugely popular among young people, balancing performance with local elements. China Motor collaborates with Mitsubishi, offering practical and durable vehicles like the Zinger pickup, ideal for small business owners or families needing cargo space. Hotai, as the agent for Toyota, sells highly reliable and fuel-efficient models such as the Corolla Altis and RAV4, which often top sales charts. Ford Lio Ho produces sporty cars like the Focus and Kuga, known for their strong handling and ample safety features. These brands cover a wide range of needs, from economy cars to SUVs, providing flexible options for car buyers and contributing to the diversification of the local market.
