Is the reduction of automobiles done by Chinese or foreigners? Why are only Chinese people doing the reduction of automobiles done by Europe and the United States?
If you have such a question, it is probably because you have never heard of it, not because others do not reduce their matching. Today I will share with you the common distribution reduction projects in the US auto market.
The empty space behind the electronic handbrake is the automatic parking switch that should have been installed
. Aluminum alloy wheels are basically standard in domestic cars with a capacity of more than 100,000 yuan, but steel wheels + plastic shells can still be seen on some low-end B-class sedans or A-class SUVs in the United States, including but not limited to Camry, Rongfang, Teana , and X-Trail, which are popular domestic cars of 200,000 yuan.
2021 Rav4 is still using black steel rims with plastic shell
. The American version of Volkswagen Tuyue's entire series 1.5T engine, the front-drive version is equipped with a torque beam rear suspension, the domestic version has a high-end 2.0T, and the entire series has a multi-link rear suspension; the American version has only one set of low-power 2.0T, while the domestic version has 1.4T and 2.0T high-low power 3 versions. This is a few cars with less power than the domestic version.
5. The nacelle covers of all models of American versions use manual poles; the $50,000 Passport (a medium-sized SUV in North America) is still using foot brakes and hard plastic rear door panels; the 2020 CRV has a low-end, low-end, door handles and rearview mirrors, and it is sold under black plastic; the 2021 low-end, Civic , does not even have a folding key; the new taillights of the mid-term facelift of Accord are not available in North America at all, low-end, low-end, no trunk main switch, and the hybrid version has a full range of less-equipped tires...

Except for seat memory and Beats audio, the others are all leading in the domestic version
7. The American version Camry is mid-low-end foot brake, the domestic version has the entire series of electronic handbrake + automatic parking; the domestic version of the full LCD instrument of the domestic version 2 Toyota high-end car has not yet entered the US market; the American version has reduced the rear backrest angle adjustment, and the domestic version has standard configuration.

8. Audi reduces headlights. The lowest-end headlights of the American version of A3/A4/A5/A6 are reflective bowl LEDs, and the day running lights are just a perfunctory lamp, which is comparable to Toyota's Mili brake lights; the turn signal is still halogen bulb ; the appearance does not have the charm of Audi, and it is neither good-looking nor useful. This ragged product that is purely fake and powerful is not available in at all. Even the lowest-end A3L uses high-end headlights.
9. Speaking of headlights, most American-regulated cars not only do not require a rear room, etc., but even independent rear turn signals are reluctant to give them. Most of them share the same group of light sources with the brake lights. Once the double flash is turned on, you can only rely on high-level brake light to determine whether the car in front has stepped on the brake or not.
Of course, American-regulated cars are not without good sides.For example:
1. The U.S. Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) stipulates that all US-regulated passenger cars produced after May 1, 2018 must be equipped with reverse images, even A0-class cars that have nothing to do must have reverse images;
2. In order to pass the IIHS collision test, the passive safety of each car series cannot be distinguished from high and low configuration, and must be treated equally;
3. The power specifications of most models are one or even two gears higher than those in China;
4.Carplay and Android The Auto popularization rate is very high, and my car also has wireless Carplay, which is very convenient;
5. The American version of Japanese cars comes with automatic locking of driving and automatic unlocking of car accidents (as far as I know, domestic Corolla / Leiling has neither functions, and domestic Accord does not have the former);
6. The maintenance cycle is generally long, and the engine oil is replaced every 16,000 kilometers, and there is no saying that the first insurance period must be shorter than the subsequent conventional maintenance period (for example, every 10,000 kilometers is guaranteed, but the first insurance is 5,000 kilometers).
Never forget that car companies are merchants, not philanthropists, they are the same in all countries. The increase and decrease of configuration are differentiated adjustments made by car companies based on the policies, market demands and car use environments of various countries. There is no question of who is conscience and who is unscrupulous.
