From a reliability standpoint, how big is the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen?

Worldwide, Toyota's reliability is not much different from Volkswagen's. This is why Toyota and Volkswagen are the two brands with the highest sales in the world.

Everyone knows that Germany and Japan are the two countries in the world that value the quality of craftsmanship the most, and both have the spirit of craftsmanship, so they are both very reliable in terms of the quality of automobile production. If we look at a single product, we find that the top quality brands are generally Porsche and Lexus, and the two luxury brands are from the Volkswagen Group and the Toyota Group respectively.

However, in a single region, due to the different management rights of the production location, Toyota and Volkswagen may not be able to fully bring the spirit of excellence in Germany and Japan to the production area.

For example, in North America, Toyota's sales far exceed that of Volkswagen. However, due to Toyota's landing in the United States, the labor unions in the United States have too much power to speak, and the American workers are relatively lazy, which will affect Toyota's production quality management, so although Toyota has been leading the American quality rankings in the past few decades, its ranking in the United States has fallen sharply in the past two years.

In China, although China is gradually becoming the main battlefield of the Toyota brand, Toyota is not as dependent on the Chinese market as Volkswagen, so Toyota's management in China is relatively tough, and the quality control is more strict.

On the other hand, Volkswagen has a good reputation for quality in the world. However, because the entire Volkswagen Group is too dependent on the Chinese market, the German Volkswagen does not have enough management voice in China.

<> 2019, Toyota's global sales were about 8.68 million units, and Toyota's sales in China were about 1.45 million units. In 2019, Volkswagen sold about 6.44 million units worldwide and more than 4 million units in China. The degree to which Toyota and Volkswagen are dependent on the Chinese market can be seen.

Why do everyone think that Volkswagen has more quality problems than Toyota, but it is mainly due to the sales base. We can look at the sales rankings at all levels, whether it is the overall brand list, or sedans, SUVs and other market segments, Volkswagen occupies a dominant position, and the overall sales are three times that of Toyota.

If you include the number of car brands in China, Volkswagen may be 10 times as many as Toyota. Therefore, even with the same failure rate, Volkswagen appears to have more failures than Toyota.

<> from the ranking of global auto brands in 2018, Volkswagen's brand value is higher than Toyota's, and its brand influence is also higher than Toyota's, but its investment potential is lower than Toyota's. Although there have been changes in the past two years, it is certain that the two major car brands are still in a position to go hand in hand. And this status depends on stable quality.

From the perspective of reliability, Toyota is more reliable than Volkswagen, and many Toyota's quality control is much stronger than Volkswagen's, but Toyota cars are also slightly more expensive than Volkswagen.

I don't think the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen is big, because Toyota has a very low failure rate, good reliability, and is very cheap to repair, and the gap is not big compared to Volkswagen.

From the perspective of reliability, Toyota's safety is much lower than that of Volkswagen, and the gap is a bit large.

Toyota cars. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars have basically become a means of transportation for many people, so there will be such a problem, what brand of car should be selected in the process of buying a car? Among them, Toyota and Volkswagen have their own unique advantages, they are both committed to bringing people a better driving experience, but if we pay more attention to details, we will find that Toyota is superior to Volkswagen in terms of detail devices, and the quality of Toyota cars may be more durable and durable, in line with people's requirements.

First, the comfort is very strong.

For long-distance travel, comfort is very important, many drivers will cause unnecessary damage to their bodies because of the influence of the seat, such as cervical spine, lumbar spine and other serious problems, it is easy to fall into major diseases, the overall performance of the Volkswagen car is relatively intact, but compared with the Fengtian car, there are deficiencies, from the point of view of details, the fabric selected by Toyota is softer, very humane, and the comfort is greatly improved.

Second, strong stability.

In the selection of the car system, the engine is the most important, because it is not only related to the length of life, but also about the operating conditions, Toyota's engine selection is more traditional, with durability as the ultimate goal, while the Volkswagen engine is mainly based on high performance, high speed as the premise, although it can be significantly improved in speed, but for the loss of heat, it is significantly lower than Toyota, most of us will pursue high-performance and long-lasting use of the model, so Toyota is a good choice.

3. Strong energy absorption.

If we only look at the appearance, many people will think that the materials used in Volkswagen cars are very thick, but if you look closely, you will find that the materials used in Toyota cars are not very different from Volkswagen cars, but one of his better points is that the energy absorption is particularly good, which can reduce unnecessary losses, so that it can be used more durably.

I think it's the masses. Because for drivers, driving comfort is particularly important, so if you drive a long-distance car, the performance of the Volkswagen car is more prominent, which will avoid cervical and lumbar spine discomfort.

According to the relevant understanding, the quality of Toyota cars is better, because Toyota cars have not had any problems in terms of quality, and there have been no breakdown problems.

Toyota, because this brand of cars has a very low failure rate and a very strong durability, some engines.

I think the gap is quite big because Toyota has a much lower failure rate than Volkswagen.

I don't think the gap is big, and the high failure rate that Volkswagen has been criticized for is only a small problem, which does not affect normal driving, so it is actually similar to Toyota.

I think the gap between these two brands is still relatively small, Volkswagen is much better than Toyota, whether it is quality, engine, air, appearance, chassis, I think Volkswagen is better than Toyota.

In the Chinese market, we only talk about joint venture brands. Many consumers always like to give the first place to Volkswagen, and then to the Toyota brand or Honda Nissan. The reason is that the Volkswagen fan base should be relatively speaking, while Toyota is slightly weaker.

However, in terms of technical stability control, Volkswagen and Toyota are not consistent, each has its own advantages, but also has its own shortcomings. Where is the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen? How big is the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen?

Car owner: reliability, the gap is huge!

As we all know, Germany and Japan are the two countries that value the quality of workmanship in the world, and both have the spirit of craftsmanship, so they are very reliable in the quality of automobile production. If we look at the individual products, we find that Porsche and Lexus are generally the two brands with the highest quality rankings, and the two luxury brands are from the Volkswagen Group and the Toyota Group respectively. There is always a lot of controversy about reliability.

Some people say that Toyota uses conservative technology, so the quality of the products is stable. Some people say that Toyota's quality control is very powerful, but people's TQM system is not powerful.

Different people are different, and regardless of the domain name, we should recognize the excellence of Toyota's quality management, which has been used as a benchmark in the industry. However, in a single region, Toyota and Volkswagen may not be able to fully bring the spirit of excellence from Germany and Japan to the production area due to the different management voices of the production area. In North America, for example, Toyota's sales far outpace Volkswagen's.

However, due to Toyota's landing in the United States, the American trade unions have too much say and American workers are lazy, which will affect Toyota's production quality management.

So, while Toyota has led the U.S. quality rankings for the past few decades, it has slipped significantly in the U.S. rankings in the last two years. Toyota is still very distinct. Toyoku-eda is a typical house, and the whole is relatively conservative.

In short, the main basis of a car is durability. Of course, in addition to this, Toyota also has fatal shortcomings. The shape is not that high, so even Toyota's luxury cars are like this, and they are no different from low-end cars.

There is no doubt that domestic consumers like Volkswagen, which shows that Volkswagen is very powerful. Although Volkswagen's sales and popularity are high, its shortcomings are also prominent. Some low-end models of Volkswagen are prone to small faults, such as burning engine oil, abnormal noise, etc., so there is an "uncomfortable Volkswagen".

However, Volkswagen's simplicity is also serious, and the internal tools and materials are very rough.

Toyota and Volkswagen are two of the largest automotive groups in the world. They have been competing for the top spot in the automotive world for many years, and the result is evenly divided. In China, Volkswagen's sales have the upper hand, which is related to Volkswagen's earliest entry into the Chinese market, but globally, Toyota's sales are better.

Volkswagen can see from the sales ranking in recent years that the two manufacturers are not up or down in terms of sales, and they continue to innovate and develop in technology, and they both want to give full play to their own technology and promote the best cars to the majority of users. Until now, everyone likes these two car manufacturers.

Big data in the Internet era is the best illustration of product problems. JDPopower is a mainstream organization in the United States, and publishes local quality rankings every year. The Quality Ranking Report collects data from second-year-old owners on issues used in the past 12 months.

There are quite a lot of data collection points, and eight major vehicle systems such as power system, chassis system, and entertainment system are investigated. If JDPower is a leading organization suspected of "charging widely", then "American Consumer Reports" is a non-profit organization with high local authority.

According to the quality ranking report released in recent years, Toyota ranks third with 123 faults per 100 vehicles, with an industry average of 156 and Volkswagen 164. What Toyota and Volkswagen have in common is that compared to other brands, the configuration is not high! The quality is good among many brands, and the reputation and brand recognition in the domestic market are relatively high, and the sales volume is also very good!

There are two types of Volkswagen automatic transmission cars, one is DCT and the other is AT. Both transmissions had varying degrees of complaints.

The DCT transmission shifts sluggishly, and the driving feeling is not good. The AT transmission has a shift meal. The transmission is not smart enough to understand the owner's intentions.

The design, production, and configuration of domestic and foreign models are different, and the failure may not be the same. There may be no reference in the country. Let's analyze the big data statistics report of China Autohome.

According to the data report released by Autohome, Toyota's top brand Lexus has 174 failures, GAC Toyota has 219 failures, and Toyota has 252 failures in the first 100 times. It's important to note that you can't see the Volkswagen or the Volkswagen in this chart. According to the survey, the comprehensive quality performance has exceeded 363 items, reaching 100 unqualified.

Toyota was the world's first car brand and the world's first sales brand. Toyota is the most profitable car company in the world. Toyota has the highest R&D investment among the world's automotive companies.

Volkswagen is the first joint venture brand to be sold in China and in Germany. Toyota's sales are more than 60% of Volkswagen's global sales. Why do we often hear that Toyota's sales in China are so stable, accounting for more than 60% of the world's Volkswagen car sales, while German and American cars cannot?

In fact, without it, Toyota's quality is stable, but the technology used is more conservative. Let's first take a look at the characteristics of the Toyota model. In fact, we can understand why Toyota is able to achieve better quality and stability.

Most of its models are self-priming, and there are very few turbocharged models. Currently, only one of the Toyota models produced in China is turbocharged, and that is the Highlander. All other models are equipped with naturally aspirated engines, and all Camry models are naturally aspirated.

Although the Corolla, Leiling, and other models have engines, they also have self-priming versions, and no Toyota model uses a dual-clutch transmission, no. This is very rare when emissions policies are becoming more and more stringent. Toyota is also not a small factory like Mazda.

It has a wider distribution of models. Toyota is very conservative in the application of new technologies. For example, vehicle machine systems.

Toyota engineers revealed that Toyota has previously demonstrated whether to add vehicle connectivity to its models.

But the company has been demonstrating for a long time and has given up on possible problems with vehicle machine blockages. It can be seen how cautious Toyota is about the application of new technologies. In this way, Toyota first ensured the stability of three main components, whether it was a turbocharged engine or a dual-clutch transmission.

Even today, it is still not as stable as self-priming engines and other transmissions. Toyota's insistence on using self-priming engine shirts on its main models ensures better reliability on the three main parts of Toyota's models.

From the point of view of safety and reliability, German cars are still well-deserved first lack of Wang Ming, Toyota is a Japanese car, Volkswagen is a German car, from the automotive material Fu Feng, Volkswagen as the representative of the German car materials thick, including screws are thicker than other cars, and Toyota as the representative of the Japanese car materials are light and thin, whether it is sheet metal or parts can not be compared with German cars, so from the safety and reliability of the word, Toyota Lingyu and Volkswagen gap is still very large.
