As a magazine that does not look at the face of any company, "Consumer Reports" is a magazine sponsored by the Consumers Union that affects American consumer culture. News magazine for domestic and international public circulation. It can be said that "Consumer Reports" is the touchstone of car brands. It can distinguish who is Li Gui and who is Li Kui. It can also select Porsche, which perfectly combines good looks with driving pleasure, as the No. 1 car brand in 2020. In short , the readability and authority of this magazine are quite worthy of recognition. In this case, let's take a look at the bottom four car brands in 2020 given by the magazine. They are Fiat, Mitsubishi, Jeep and Land Rover.
Fiat
Comprehensive score: 43
As an automobile company headquartered in Italy, Fiat ranks among the top ten automobile companies in the world. Founded in 1899. Since its birth, its famous brands include: Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Dodge RAM, SRT, ABARTH, New Holland, FIAT? PROFESSIONAL and other well-known brands. What we are talking about today is its main brand-Fiat.
In April 1999, Nanjing Fiat was established, and Fiat entered China for the first time in the form of a joint venture. In December 2007, the cooperative relationship with Nanjing Automobile Group was officially terminated. In March 2010, Fiat and GAC Group jointly established GAC Fiat. The models on sale include Feixiang, Zhiyue, Fiat 500 and Feiyue. In June 2018, Fiat announced that it would withdraw from the Chinese market. So far, there is no longer a Fiat car brand in the country. Looking at the car brand rankings given by Consumer Reports, Fiat scored the lowest, only 43 points. Among them, the car owner's reputation and reliability scores were poor, and the road test score was only 59 points. After all, it was discontinued. The quality performance of former Fiat models can basically be considered to be true.
Mitsubishi
Comprehensive score: 46
Mitsubishi is also a marginalized automobile brand in China. Although it has established a joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Motors, but since it only owns SUV models such as ASX Jinxuan, Outlander, and Pajero, Mitsubishi Motors as a whole currently has little influence in China. The Mitsubishi Wingshen, which was once famous, has now come to an end, so the development momentum of this brand is undoubtedly going forward.
Looking at the car brands given by "Consumer Reports", Mitsubishi's overall score is 46 points. It may be that model updates are slow, or it may be that there are too few types of cars. Mitsubishi, which was once known for its quality, is now The owner's reputation and reliability are not high, and the road test score is only 48 points. Therefore, this may be what people often say "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi". I sincerely hope that Mitsubishi Motors can wake up. Awake.
Jeep
Comprehensive score: 49
Speaking of Jeep, it is also a car brand under the Fiat Group, but unlike the Fiat sub-brand, Jeep It has not yet closed down in China, so we can still buy Jeep cars, which is a small blessing. Speaking of the birth of Jeep, the world's first Jeep off-road vehicle was produced in 1941 to meet the military needs of the US military during World War II. It has a history of 78 years. Chrysler, the originator of Jeep, independently owns this registered trademark. Therefore, "Not all Jeeps are called Jeeps" has become widely spread. Its spokespersons are Wang Shi, Liu Qiangdong, and Nicholas Tse.
In the "Consumer Reports" car brand rankings, Jeep's overall score is 49 points. In terms of reliability, the Jeep brand is going down, and its evaluation is also very low. As for the car owner's reputation, the score is not very high. The final road test score was 58 points. It can be said that the overall performance is very average, so it ranks third from the bottom.
However, I can understand its situation. After all, problems such as poor starting, loud tire noise, high fuel consumption, poor storage space design, abnormal noise in the gearbox, and loud wiper noise have long been common in domestic Jeep models. , so I’m not surprised that it got such a ranking in Consumer Reports.
Land Rover
Comprehensive score: 50
Land Rover, founded in 1948, is a luxury all-terrain SUV brand from the United Kingdom. The brand has a number of models on sale such as Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque and Velar. What does a Land Rover mean to a man? Song Siming, the male protagonist in the TV series "Snail House" once said that Land Rover is a man's leg. A man can be childless in his life, but he cannot live without a Land Rover. This shows that in the mainstream culture at that time, the car brand Land Rover was given a lot of importance. The brand value is still quite high. In the "Top 500 World Brands 2018" compiled by the World Brand Laboratory in 2018, Land Rover also ranked 364th. It also ranked 85th in the top 100 global brands released by Interbrand in 2019, so overall this brand is still very powerful and recognizable.
In the ranking of automobile brands given by Consumer Reports, Land Rover also ranked fourth from the bottom with a comprehensive score of 50. Although the reliability of Land Rover's models is indeed not high, car owners The reputation is basically the same as that of the Jeep brand, but Land Rover's score in the road test is still relatively good, with a road test score of 69 points. So in summary, if you can accept the many minor problems and poor reliability of Land Rover vehicles, then Land Rover's models are a good choice. They can also give you everything you want, including momentum. By the way, if you want to buy a Land Rover model, then get a Range Rover. After all, this car is the real Land Rover that combines hot sales and aura, so don’t buy the wrong one.
