The B+ grade product Asia Dragon introduced by FAW Toyota has attracted the attention of countless domestic consumers as a "combined successor" of Crown Sedan and Ruizhi. However, when the Asian Dragon officially entered the market for sales, because of its entry-level positioning of high matching, it subsequently triggered a lot of people's bearish emotions. Fortunately, the fact is that in the three years of domestic sales of Asian Dragon, the average monthly sales performance of 10,000 units seems to have once again confirmed the "true fragrance law" of the car circle. Now, in order to further enhance its competitiveness, the mid-term restructuring of The Asian Dragon is also on schedule. Moreover, a few days ago, some netizens photographed the real car figure of the new Asian Dragon in the local car factory. So, has the strength of the Asian Dragon been improved after the redesign? Let's take a look.
In terms of appearance, in order to better fit the overseas prototype, the new Asian Dragon will be divided into two sets of design options. As can be seen from the upper/lower two pictures, its front face will still have a large intake grille, but the internal filling has also become a dot-type dress and a blackened nest net style. Moreover, in its already extremely sharp headlamp, an inverted L-shaped LED strip was added to further sublimate its sharpness.
On the side of the car, like most mid-term revamps, the side of the new Asian Dragon has not been significantly adjusted. However, according to the declaration information, the length, width and height of the new car are 4990/1850/1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2870mm; compared with the current version, the length of the car has increased by 15mm.
In the rear part of the car, the new Asian Dragon will continue to use through taillights to cut out the distinct layers of the tail. In addition, even if there is no exposed exhaust layout, the blackened double exhaust pendant and the "ducktail" outfit can create a certain degree of sports atmosphere.
The interior part, on the other hand, is also full of surprises. As can be seen from the figure, the new Asian Dragon will replace the original semi-LCD instrument, thus becoming a full LCD display. Moreover, the physical buttons on both sides of the original central control screen have also been integrated into the screen, making the central control area more concise, and the volume of the central control screen has become larger. Judging from the overall interior of the new car, its technological atmosphere will become more intense.
As for the power, according to the declaration information, the new Asia Dragon will continue to use a hybrid system composed of 2.5L engine + electric motor, and continue to match the E-CVT transmission.
Overall, the design adjustment of the new Asian Dragon in appearance and interior is still more in line with the positioning of its medium-term redesigned models; and the increase in length will also be more in line with the Chinese people's "big is beautiful" car purchase concept. If the price can also bring surprises, I believe that its sales performance should also have a relatively significant increase.
