近日，某车企率先发起大幅降价活动，多家企业跟进效仿，引发新一轮"价格战"恐慌。 中国汽车工业协会、工业和信息化部等相继发声，明确反对这场无序的"价格战"。 有人不解：降价是企业自愿的，消费者还能得实惠，为何要反对？ 当然，车企通过创新提质、降本增效带来价格下降是正常市场现象，也让消费者受益，应当鼓励支持。 但无序的"价格战"，不利于汽车产业健康可持续发展，也终将损害消费者权益。 从产业端看，汽车行业经不起"价格战"折腾。 汽车产业链条长，围绕整车制造，向上是原材料供应、零部件生产、技术研发等环节，向下延伸至销 售、维修等领域。整个行业牵一发而动全身，无序"价格战"挤压链上各环节利润空间，给整条产业链带 来冲击，广大从业者面临收入下降的风险。 从消费端看，无序"价格战"也会让消费者受损。 俗话说，"羊毛出在羊身上"。当利润被一再压减，不排除个别企业经营困难时，可能铤而走险：板材、 零部件的标准放低，售后服务开始敷衍，维修保养逐渐糊弄……这样做，将对产品的安全、质量、服务 产生恶劣影响，严重侵害消费者权益。 数据显示，去年我国汽车产销量创历史新高，然而汽车行业利润率仅为4.3%，不及2023年同期水平， 也低于整 ...
