"Car Matrix" car evaluation: many people for the Toyota Crown's suspension of production, it was originally a bmw 5 series to benchmark the model, although due to the body width and lack of atmospheric appearance by consumers complained, but for Toyota it is still a set of Toyota's most mature technology platform to create a high-end car, in China encountered obstacles really did not expect. After the production of crown production, Toyota lacks a model that can truly represent the high-end in China, and although the Toyota Asian Dragon is positioned higher than the Camry, it is still far from the crown in the minds of consumers, so it is sooner or later that the crown will return to domestic production again.
Toyota Crown overseas has been updated to the 15th generation model, the domestic discontinued model is the 14th generation crown, for the crown is not willing to withdraw from this, Toyota in China C-class sedan empty window period will not be too long, the 15th generation crown will be sold in imported fashion, is expected to be priced between 350,000-450,000 yuan, the fastest will be in the middle of this year to the store. Consumers are most concerned about whether the 16th generation of Toyota Crown can be domestically produced is the most important, overseas or will be at the end of 2022 or the first half of 2023 officially released a new generation of crown, and FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota will produce the 16th generation of crown models, will fill the gap of Toyota's domestic C-class cars in China, the new generation of crowns is still based on Toyota TNGA architecture to build, and the 14th generation of models have a great change.
Toyota's plan for the import and sales of the 15th-generation Crown may pave the way for the domestic production of the 16th generation model, after all, the reputation of the Crown in China is not very good, and whether Toyota can make major changes to the Chinese market is still unknown, whether it can upgrade the body width and power system? Overseas media expect that the body width of the 16th-generation domestic model will reach 1850mm, and the power or continuation of the 2.5L gasoline-electric hybrid + E-CVT and 2.4T+8AT combination of the 15th-generation crown that has been exposed. In short, Toyota in China will not easily give up the C-class car position, after all, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and other models have achieved great success, Crown naturally wants to get a piece of the pie. Do you think it will work?
