Hello, I am learning beginning grammar. Could someone explain the difference between ”この車は、日本の車です。” and ”この車は日本です。”? Do these mean the same thing?

No, the first one enfatize that the car is the subject and that it is a Japanese car. The second one is more abstract and just say that the car is "Japan" which could be easily misunderstood without the right context (Can also be understood as "This car is Japanese").
So for the second one I would only say it if I were already speaking about cars before hand? ありがとうございます！- If the person ask you from where that car is for instance and you answer in the second way, it would be acceptable.
