  Back in the 1980s, Japanese car manufacturers cultivated a reputation for building bulletproof cars that exceeded the reliability expectations of virtually all of their competition at the time.The American and European markets were still skeptical of Japanese-built cars, but gradually manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan gained a foothold outside of their domestic markets, largely thanks to the positive association with building long-lasting vehicles.Although the gap in quality has narrowed in recent years, data shows that Japanese brands still lead the field when it comes to reliability. Seven out of the top 10 reliable carmakers in the 2015 Auto Express Driver Power survey were from Japan, and around a third of the Reliability Index’s top 100 cars are Japanese.But why is it that Japanese brands rank so highly in terms of reliability? Japanese cars are some of the most reliable on the market: vehicles from manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan remain popular for...

Nowadays, most of us believe that new energy is the trend, and is the future. In this era, the automobile industry is no longer monopolized by the traditional automobile giants. New brands continue to come into our vision with their new technology and new energy vehicles. The traditional automobile giants are old, but we still believe that their strong system strength and strong car-making experience can make them successfully and easily adapt to this trend. BMW iX3 is a great example. We all appreciate BMW’s performance and it’s comfort during driving, which is contributed by its abilities of acceleration performance, steering precision, chassis adjustment, dynamic control of the body, riding comfort and other indicators. And X3 is one of its best, as its electrical version, iX3 has the same performance, or even better! Although the power is still abundant, the engine of the iX3 has been replaced by an electric...

The look of the iX is very eye-catching, it’s hard to not notice its big nose (the grille!) The design of the iX comes from Li Tianyuan, a Chinese designer who used to work at BMW. And after you look at it for a longer time, you will notice that the iX doesn't really look like any other BMW cars. If you have to find a lookalike, it’s probably the little guy from the beginning era of BMW i series -i3. BMW used a specially customized carbon fiber composite body on the i3 for the first time, and it is still the cheapest "full carbon" car model on the market. After the first round of testing of the i3 and i8, BMW didn’t explore more on the road of pure electric for several years. The iX3 and i4 are both based on the gasoline-electric CLAR platform - until today, the...

You might have already noticed that there are more and more cars designed with hidden door handles, whether you are a car enthusiast  or not. There's the same anecdote to all the Model 3 owners of showing their first-ride friends how to open the door. And if you are in a better developed, or more environment-conscious area, you will even find that some big automobile companies are also trying to hide their wing mirrors. 2013 Volkswagen Xl1 was an early example, Audi e-tron,Lexus es, Honda E, Hyundai IONIQ 5 are all recently replaced their wing mirrors with camera (virtual mirror).  Honda E Why are these automobile giants working so hard on such tiny exterior parts? The short answer is to reduce air resistance, therefore the electric cars can run more miles and the gas cars can burn less energy, it’s for the environment!  Surprisingly those tiny parts might make a...

In 1922, William Lyons and William Walmsley crossed their path together and just like today's young people, these two young men have found their own like-minded partners and started the journey of riding sidecar motorcycles. However, no one would have thought that this small workshop, named Swallow Sidecars at that time, would later become a famous sports car brand – Jaguar, and soon it will be celebrating its 100th anniversary.  Surprisingly, before this important date, they made another huge announcement. Recently, Philippe Robbercht, head of the Jaguar brand of the French market, said in an interview with Le Monde that Jaguar will stop launching any new models before 2025. It is in order to concentrate on the research and development of electric vehicles, to be able to compete with brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley and Maserati in the future. Earlier this year, Jaguar Land Rover CEO Thierry Bollore also...

When it comes to the grille, everyone is certainly no stranger. It is one of the most important elements of the front face, which greatly supports the family design. Functionally, it can also ventilate the air intake of the water tank, engine, air conditioner, etc., and prevent splashes from damaging the internal components of the front cabin during driving. The active air intake grille we are going to talk about today is also a kind of air intake grille, but it has become smarter. The reason why I came out to talk about this car accessory in particular is because I found that there are still many people around who don't know it well, but in fact, it has a lot to do in the past, present and future, so it is necessary to give it a special introduction. 1.The role of active grille If you have watched the touring...
