Japanese cars have always been a very "chicken rib" topic: due to historical reasons, the attitude of many Chinese people to Japanese cars naturally does not need to be said, on the other hand, we have to admit that this close neighbor Japan, which is not far from us, has indeed made a lot of contributions to automobiles. So, which Japanese cars are worth getting started with?
Toyota Camry Reference price: 179,800 yuan - 269,800 yuan
Toyota, a variety of models, speaking of successful models, it should be said that there are more than a few, Camry is one of the outstanding representatives. Speaking of camry's love affair with the Chinese people, I am afraid it will be traced back to the time when it was called "Jiamei", until today, there are still many nostalgic car owners who affectionately call the Camry "Jiamei".
Around 1993, many Toyota Camry codenamed VX10 came to the Chinese market, and it is worth mentioning that this generation of Toyota Camry has also been sold to Hong Kong in Large quantities. In 2001, the fifth-generation Toyota Camry, code-named VX30, entered China, and this time there were two displacement options, 2.0 liters and 2.4 liters. This generation of Toyota Camry can be said to have created the myth of Jiamei's domestic sales. The appearance is round and streamlined, the atmosphere is calm, and it has become the car of many entrepreneurs with successful careers.
In 2006, Guangzhou Toyota introduced jiamei, code-named VX40, into China and officially changed its name to Camry, thus opening a new history. Once the domestic Camry was listed, it was immediately sought after and became the target of many families and businesses. What are the benefits of speaking of Camry? To sum up, it is nothing more than three points: mature technology, energy saving and fuel saving, and stable performance. In the blink of an eye, Camry has been domestic for 16 years, Camry has also continued to integrate new technologies and technologies into it, including Toyota's proud oil-electric hybrid technology, and there are more oil-electric hybrid versions of camry on the Internet to challenge 1,000 kilometers of successful videos, I have to say that the Camry is a mid-level car worth starting with.
Honda Accord Reference price: 169,800 yuan - 259,800 yuan
The Accord, also a model for mid-level cars, has always been a strong competitor to the Camry. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Accord was also a hot product among domestic imported cars.
In the late 1990s, Guangzhou Honda began to produce Accord models, and provided two displacements of 2.3 liters and 3.0 liters, and by the time the 7th generation of Accord came out in 2003, it could be said to be a mess of fire, and set off a wave of markups that year. At that time, the 7th generation accord can be said to be regarded as an all-powerful god car in both the north and the south. Guangzhou Honda offers 3 different engines: the most sold is the 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder model, in addition, there is a 3.0-liter V6 engine flagship model that plays a pig and eats a tiger, you know, this V6 model was also priced at more than 300,000 that year.
Over the years, the Honda Accord has captured the hearts of many car owners with its excellent engine performance and low-key and restrained shape. However, the times are progressing, and the Accord is also advancing with the times. The current Accord also adopts oil-electric hybrid technology, which pays more attention to environmental protection on the basis of uncompromising performance. And the shape is more youthful, sporty, more suitable for young people to drive.
Mitsubishi Pajero Reference price: 293,800 yuan - 399,800 yuan
When you think of cats, what comes to mind? Light and agile, there seems to be no place that cannot be reached; the bobcat, on this basis, is a little more mysterious. It should also be emphasized that cats are one of the animals in this world that humans have not yet tamed. If you are a little older, you have to ask him who is the representative of the Japanese car? I'm afraid he won't think of Toyota or Honda, he might say – Mitsubishi! Yes, although Mitsubishi does not have many products, there are many products called boutiques, and Pajero is one of the masterpieces, its nickname - Bobcat.
Speaking of Pajero, we have to mention the classic models of that year: codenamed V31/V33, in the 90s, Pajero can be described as a storm, and the limelight even overshadowed the Toyota Land Cruiser. Once this generation was launched, it also attracted some car companies to follow suit and copy this successful model.
Speaking of Pajero's strengths, there are a lot of them: the body size is not big or small, just right; the 3.0-liter V6 is powerful enough; as for the price, no more, no less, it is just right. As a practical SUV, Pajero can not only climb the mountains, but also freely travel through the city, so uncomfortable! The R17-inch tire is not a large wide tire in the conventional sense, but it is very practical. All in all, Pajero is too practical, can take care of both career and family, choose Pajero, why not enjoy it?
Subaru Forester Reference price: 223,800 yuan - 265,800 yuan
Some people say that the existence of Subaru has always been very embarrassing: an all-imported model, actually sold cheaper than some domestic cars, and very niche, why choose it? In fact, you are really wrong, Subaru, founded in 1953, and now has a history of 69 years. Many people think it is strange because its sales outlets are not many, and sales have been tepid, and it can even be described as bland, but you must not underestimate its ability.
Subaru has always focused on vehicle performance. The Forester is a compact SUV with great performance, with a compact and agile body, but under the ordinary appearance, there is an excellent power that is difficult to hide: a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. Speaking of the history of manufacturing horizontal engines, Subaru has a long history, and now still uses horizontal opposed engines, in addition to porsche individual models, there is only Subaru, and Subaru is currently the only car company that insists on using horizontal opposed engines in all models. As for the advantages and benefits of the horizontally opposed engine, it is necessary to say here that the horizontally opposed engine has the stability that other L-type, V-type, and W-type do not have, or to give this example: if the engine is standing, then the horizontally opposed engine is lying. Having said all this, or to talk about the cost performance of foresters, the import of vehicles is only more than 200,000, and the price of most joint venture brands is equivalent, then, why not choose a forester as your car?
Lexus LS reference price: 878,000 yuan - 1.18 million yuan
If so far, you can buy a ceiling model of a Japanese car, who is it? The answer is Lexus LS, of course, we still have to say that in Japan, there is also a Toyota Century customized for the Japanese Imperial Family, because it is not mass production and ordinary people can not buy, so we only have to choose Lexus LS.
We have also discussed many times before, about the lexus brand positioning, lexus belongs to the "light luxury" brand, these years in the country can be said to have made enough headlines: sales continue to rise, even increase in price, and in addition to the mid-level car, compact, small SUV model has made some efforts, in the field of D-class cars, LS has never given up the competition for this position.
In the field of D-class cars, the first thing to fight is the price war, since it is to compete for the luxury car field, then it is naturally indispensable to BBA - Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, then, how much is the ceiling of the D-class sedan in the BBA? The top match of Audi A8 has reached 1.98 million yuan, and the top match of Mercedes-Benz S and BMW 7 Series has also reached 2.3 million yuan+, so how much is LS? 1.18 million, so look, the price of LS does have an advantage. Secondly, in terms of power, LS uses a 3.5L V6 engine + hybrid technology, and in terms of displacement, the displacement of 3.5 liters is not inferior to the same level of opponents. Finally, it depends on the comfortable configuration, although it is a "light luxury brand", but the configuration of LS is actually not bad, everywhere leather wrapped, delicate feel. Starting with LS is also a new fashion.
