Comparison between Japanese, European and American vehicles: In this globalized era, sometimes it is not easy to differentiate between two similar objects that were made in completely different nations. This is largely the case with cars. Nowadays, cars are produced all over the world, so it is not correct to label them completely of one region. However, some differences never disappear, and so, does the difference in the styling, performance, safety and others.There are many automakers from different regions, but with more numbers of popular brands and names, American, European and Japanese automakers have a little edge over others.
Whenever any new car came out from Japanese, or American or European makers, they instantly draws crowd. Vehicles manufactured by these makers offer high quality features, but still they surpass one another with their features. One maybe better than other in terms of styling or performance, while other one will be high on quality or safety. So, here are few characteristics that make one automaker to overshadow another one.
Design/ Style-
The first thing people look at while buying cars is the actual bodywork of the car i.e. the design. When it comes to styling, there’s no substitute of European vehicles. In Europe, the looks of a car are important factors and one can see that in the result. With the eye-catching and mesmerizing design, European cars look like heaven’s own courtesy car. Not only the best models of the best companies, even average European cars have fantastic looks and magnetic design.
The design of European and American vehicles change frequently, while on the other hand, Japanese automakers tend to change the styling of their vehicles far less frequently. Designs of Japanese cars don’t become outdated quickly or go out of style very fast. In fact, styling of Japanese vehicles remains more or less the same for many years.
Quality-
Quality is also one of the priorities of European automakers. From British exotics to Italian stallions and Bavarian sledge-hammers, European things have a quality that doesn’t come cheap, but works efficiently. Along with European cars, American and Japanese cars are too known for their quality. The qualities of the cars they produce are outstanding and unbeatable. Good mileage and high quality are always been the sales points of these cars.
Fuel-Efficiency-
Japan has the history of producing most fuel-efficient vehicles. One of the important things that people consider while buying a car is fuel economy and Japanese vehicles are designed purposely to offer that. As a matter of fact, during the 1973 oil crises, the popularity of Japanese cars increased in the global market as vehicles developed by them have smaller engine and are fuel-efficient. Japanese vehicles are always the best option when one wants a fuel-efficient car.
Performance-
In terms of performance or power also, it is quite difficult to find an alternate of European makers. Models of top European automakers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz are some of the best performing vehicles ever built. The power and acceleration of these cars are much more than their counterparts.
Longevity-
Japanese cars may not run as fast as their European equivalents, but they generally run for a much longer period of time. They do not require much maintenance; rarely major repairs are required on Japanese vehicles.
Strength-
Americans love power and that can easily seen in their products such as vehicles. American cars are popular for their strength. These vehicles have even dubbed the name “muscle cars” for their power. American car comes with a powerful engine that requires high consumption of petrol. There is no competitor of American automakers when it comes to strength.
Reliability-
European and American automakers may lead in terms of acceleration, power, strength, but they do fall short in terms of reliability. Japanese cars have the best track record when it comes to reliability. Manufacturing reliable cars not only confined only to Toyota, Nissan, and Honda. Other Japanese automakers such as Mazda, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Daihatsu manufacture equivalently reliable vehicles. By providing reliable and safe cars, Japanese automakers have made huge imprints on the heart of customers.
Cost-
Along with being fuel-efficient and reliable, Japanese vehicles reasonably priced also. They built with the idea of common man in mind. On the other hand, European cars are tad expensive to be within everyone’s reach.
Safety-
Japanese vehicles attract praise worldwide for their features and one such feature is safety. Japanese automakers are leading when it comes to safety. They known for developing technologies that raise the standards of automobile safety even higher.
American, European and Japanese automakers have been competing against each other for ages to benefit customers with best vehicles. People prefer to buy vehicles on the basis of their personal preference and vehicle’s features. Some prefer strong, powerful vehicles, while some go with fuel-efficient ones. Comparatively speaking, in European cars, design, performance are the main features, while American cars are identified as big, powerful and spacious ones and with Japanese cars come reliability, fuel-efficiency and affordability.
Japanese automakers have their own fan base. So does American and European automakers. While buying a Japanese car, buyers buy reliability, with European car comes power and performance, whereas with American comes strength and power. The debate on which is the world’s number one automaker is a very old age and is still going on and will continue in years to come. So, it is completely buyer’s decision to go with the automaker that suits their needs.
