The Chinese Like It Big! Cars Too！

In the Chinese lifestyle, people like many big things. If the house is big and the car is big, being big means being dignified. The saying 'Chinese people like to buy large cars, but they don't like A0 level small cars and micro cars' has been circulating for many years in the Chinese car market. Because of this, many manufacturers modify cars to cater to the Chinese lifestyle, like competitions, gradually making them bigger and longer. 

In China, when foreign brand cars introduced by joint ventures are domestically produced, they usually add an "L" at the tail, which is actually an extended version. Extended cars are highly favored by users, making it a common practice for joint venture car companies to introduce domestically produced cars. Local Chinese brands, at the beginning of their design, pursue the user preference of "beauty based on big size" and often have larger preferences than joint venture brand competitors.

The Chinese people's consumption of cars with the concept of 'beauty in the big' cannot be separated from the habit of using cars by the whole family. Unlike western families，Chinese families stay together，very often 3 or 4 generations of people stay in one household. If the whole family has one car, they definitely need to buy a spacious car to fit the whole family. It is more convenient and practical for the whole family to travel, and they can fit as many people as they need.

China's car industry is also very big!

China is the Largest Car Producing Country: 

In 2021, China produced 26082220 cars, including 21407962 private cars and 4674258 commercial cars, accounting for almost one-third of the world's total production, but lower than the record of 29015434 cars in 2017. And other countries are far behind China. The second place is the United States, with a total of 9167214 cars; Japan ranks third with 7846955 cars produced in 2021. The combined production of the United States and Japan is not as good as that of China.

China is the Largest Car Consumer Market:

In 2022, China's automobile production and sales reached 27.021 million and 26.864 million units respectively, ranking first in the world for 14 consecutive years.

China is the Largest Exporter of Car:

According to the statistics of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, as of April 2023, the total number of Chinese automobile exports this year has reached 1.37 million, including 348000 alternative fuel vehicles, accounting for 25.4%. If we focus on the first quarter of this year, China's automobile export volume was 1.07 million,  according to the data released by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, for 2023. Japan's automobile export volume in the same period was only 954000. In other words, in the first quarter of 2023, China has officially surpassed Japan as the world's largest automobile exporter.
