热门汽车界

# 热门汽车界：抖音上最懂普通人的汽车指南——从数据到故事，让每一次购车都不踩坑

On rainy Saturday afternoon in Chengdu, 29-year-old Zhang Wei and his girlfriend huddle over their phone, watching a video from 热门汽车 (Popular Auto World). The screen shows a host popping the hood of a compact SUV, pointing to a rust spot on the frame. “This a common issue with used models of this car—make sure to check the undercarriage carefully before buying,” the host says, his voice clear reassuring. Zhang, who’s been saving for his first car for two years, nods. He’s already binged 10 videos from this, each answering a question he didn’t even know he had: How do I negotiate a better price with a dealer? Is premium gas worth the extra? What’s the difference between a hybrid and an EV?

For millions of Chinese car buyers like Zhang, 热门汽车界 isn’t just auto account on Douyin—it’s a trusted friend, a go-to resource, and a guide that turns the confusing world of cars into something approachable Since its launch in 2021, the account has grown to 1.2 million fans, with videos averaging over 100 views and an engagement rate of 8% (3% higher than the industry average).

The team behind 热门汽车界 is a mix of industry veterans and digital natives united by a mission to serve consumers—not brands.

• Founder: Li Wei: A 10-year auto industry vet who worked as senior editor at Auto China magazine. Tired of the media’s bias toward luxury brands (and pressure to ignore flaws), he quit in 021 to launch the account. His mantra: “Cars are for people, not for advertisers.”
• **Technical Lead: Wang Tao A former mechanic with 15 years of experience at a Toyota dealership. He handles all hands-on tests (fuel consumption, suspension, battery life) explains mechanical concepts in layman’s terms (e.g., “Torque is how fast your car can pull a load—like getting up a hill 5 people”).
