Is Skoda a cheap version of Volkswagen? Why do some people say that people who really understand the public will choose Skoda in the end?

People who know the public will choose a sentence that Skoda often hears. In fact, this sentence has become a slogan of Skoda. Otherwise, people who don't understand Volkswagen's high sales volume buy it every year. This obviously doesn't make sense. Since Skoda was acquired by Volkswagen, Skoda's identity has always been a subsidiary of Volkswagen, so it is normal for two brands to have similar models. After all, many technologies are enjoyed by * * *.

There is no doubt that the most important automobile technology is three big pieces. Volkswagen and Skoda are basically common, as are the production platforms and implementation standards. So I personally don't think Skoda is a cheap version of Volkswagen, because the "cheap version" is cheap but the quality is much lower. Although Skoda is cheap, the quality of the whole vehicle will not be much worse. After all, it is based on the core technology of three pieces. The main difference lies in the handling of some details, such as the materials used in the whole vehicle and the workmanship of the accessories. Poor details will not have much impact on the quality of the whole vehicle. If you don't care much about driving, you may not feel it. Of course, the biggest difference is brand recognition and price.

In the domestic market, the recognition of Volkswagen brand is very high, which is much inferior to Skoda. Although it may not be appropriate to talk about premium if it is not a luxury brand, it cannot be denied that this is the main reason for the high price of Volkswagen. When the recognition is high, selling used cars will be more valuable, and Volkswagen will be significantly better than Skoda in the rate of preservation. If the frequency of changing cars in the later period is relatively high, then the advantage of Volkswagen will be more obvious. Of course, if you buy a car and are going to drive for a long time, this feeling is not so obvious. In addition, the public's usual publicity needs more promotion expenses, which will further increase the cost of the whole vehicle. As for the so-called buying Volkswagen, it has more face and personal feeling, because the brand recognition is not up to grade, both of them are ordinary household brands, and I can't feel where Volkswagen is superior to Skoda.

If you buy a car from an ordinary family and don't plan to change it, personally, I think Skoda's model is a good choice. Although the details are slightly worse than those handled by the public, it is affordable and cost-effective, and the driving feeling is not much different. They are strong, stable and heavy, especially when running at high speed. The overall driving experience is very advantageous in the same class.
