全球十佳汽车品牌出炉
|
在美国《消费者报告》（Consumer Reports）公布的年度汽车品牌排行榜中，电动汽车制造商特斯拉（Tesla）打败通用汽车公司（GM），福特（Ford）以及菲亚特克莱斯勒（Fiat Chrysler）等众多美国汽车巨头，荣获美国最佳汽车品牌。 这让人们觉得不可思议，因为特斯拉的规模比福特和通用等其他美国汽车制造商小得多；而且仅凭Model S轿车和Model X SUV两款车型，就夺得了桂冠。 举例来说，通用旗下的雪佛兰品牌就拥有20款车型。根据本周三刚发布的销售报告，雪佛兰今年2月份在美国交付了164,095辆车，而特斯拉在2016年全球范围内仅卖出76,230辆车。 这是特斯拉首次上榜.别克（Buick）则成为位列第二的美国品牌。 一旦特斯拉把Model 3加入它的产品组合中，保持住排名就成为它接下来要面对的挑战 – 这主要取决于该车型的可靠性、安全性、道路测试以及车主满意度。售价35000美金的Model 3被公认将会大规模量产，预计将从今年下半年开始投产。 然而，特斯拉、别克，和其它美国汽车品牌：像通用旗下的凯迪拉克（Cadillac）、克莱斯勒、福特、林肯（Lincoln）和吉普（Jeep）等，全部落后于德国的奥迪（Audi）、宝马（BMW）和保时捷（Porsche），这三者在2017年《消费者报告》的品牌榜中名列前茅。 奥迪获得了《消费者报告》年度指标的最高品牌总分，从而蝉联冠军。保时捷，宝马，雷克萨斯（Lexus）以及斯巴鲁（Subaru）位居前五。 根据《消费者报告》的评分表，保时捷与宝马各上升两位，雷克萨斯则下降一位，斯巴鲁下降了三位。 前十名分别是： 1. 奥迪—德国 2. 保时捷—德国 3. 宝马—德国 4. 雷克萨斯—日本 5. 斯巴鲁—日本 6. 起亚—韩国 7. 马自达—日本 8. 特斯拉—美国 9. 本田—日本 10. 别克—美国 (通用汽车旗下品牌) 《消费者报告》基于综合道路测试、预期可靠性、车主满意度和安全性，对每个品牌下的每一款车型进行评分，然后取所有车型的平均分作为品牌得分。（《消费者报告》并不评估企业行为，例如困扰大众集团和它旗下奥迪、保时捷等其它品牌的柴油车排放丑闻） 评选体系仅包含经《消费者报告》测试过的已上市车型。 排在最后的品牌是菲亚特。吉普，三菱（Mitsubishi），路虎（Land Rover）以及道奇（Dodge）均排在榜单末尾。 《消费者报告》还给出了（品牌下）获得推荐购买评级的车型占全部被测车型的百分比。今年，只有保时捷，宝马和马自达的全部被测车型均获得了推荐，这体现了其品牌整个生产线的一致性和高质量。 而据《消费者报告》显示，奥迪，本田和现代，则以86%的推荐率领先于其他品牌。（财富中文网）

All-electric automaker Tesla beat out U.S. giants GM, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler to become the highest ranked American brand in Consumer Reports' annual report card of which companies make the best cars. The designation is notable because of Tesla's size compared to other U.S. automakers like Ford Motor and General Motors; and that it earned the position based on just two electric models, the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. For instance, GM's Chevrolet brand has 20 models. Chevrolet delivered 164,095 vehicles in the U.S. in February, according to sales results released Wednesday. Tesla delivered 76,230 vehicles globally in all of 2016. This is the first year Tesla has made the list. Buick is the second highest ranked American brand on the list. The future challenge for Tesla will be to maintain its ranking—which is based on reliability, safety, road tests and owner satisfaction—once it adds the Model 3 to its portfolio. The $35,000 Model 3 is meant to be a large volume production car. Production is expected to begin in the second half of the year. However, Tesla, Buick, and the rest of the American brands such as GM's Cadillac, Chrysler, Ford, Lincoln, and Jeep all fell behind German automakers Audi, BMW, and Porsche, which took the top spots on the 2017 Brand Report Card from Consumer Reports. Audi received the highest overall brand score in Consumer Reports' annual indicator of the best cars for the second year in a row. Porsche, BMW, Lexus, and Subaru rounded out the top five. Porsche and BMW each rose by two spots, while Lexus fell back one spot, and Subaru moved down by three, according to the CR scorecard. The top 10 are: 1. Audi—Germany 2. Porsche—Germany 3. BMW—Germany 4. Lexus—Japan 5. Subaru—Japan 6. Kia—South Korea 7. Mazda—Japan 8. Tesla—USA 9. Honda—Japan 10. Buick—USA (a General Motors brand) Consumer Reports ranks each brand by taking the overall score of each tested model of a brand—a figure based on a combination of the organization's road tests, predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety. It then averages each overall score to determine total brand score. (Consumer Reports does not rate corporate behavior such as the diesel emissions scandal that has plagued Volkswagen Group and its other brands Audi and Porsche.) Only vehicles that are on the market and that CR tested factor into the equation. The lowest ranked brand is Fiat. Jeep, Mitsubishi, Land Rover, and Dodge were also at the tail end of the rankings. Consumer Reports also indicates the percentage of tested models that earned at recommended (to buy) designation. This year, only Porsche, BMW, and Mazda earned a recommendation on every model Consumer Reports tested, showing consistency and quality across the entire vehicle line up. Audi, Honda, and Hyundai lead the other brands, with 86 percent of their tested lines being recommended, Consumer Reports says. |
