European consumer perception of the safety of car brands by country of origin
Most consumers in the five countries surveyed perceived European car brands as safe vehicle marques as of July 2023. Around 57 percent of German respondents found European cars were safe, the highest share among all surveyed countries. Furthermore, a considerable share of respondents also considered Japanese car brands as safe. In contrast, Chinese car brands did not record the same success: 11 percent of German consumers and 10 percent of French customers would describe these brands as safe.
