Although the competition in the domestic B-class car market has always been very fierce, and the smell of gunpowder is quite sufficient, there are still many powerful new cars to join in such a struggle in the past two years. Take the upcoming Mondeo as an example, once this car was unveiled, the heat brought by it was quite high, and almost the entire car circle was paying attention to this model. After all, from the parameters that are known so far, Mondeo's strength is really good.
But when it comes to B-class cars, Japanese cars also occupy a large part of the market. Those brave B-class car warriors in the past were basically from the camp of Japanese cars. Last year, one of the B-class models that was also talked about by everyone was the Asian Dragon. The Asian Dragon will also bring a comprehensive upgrade this year, and although the changes brought by the new 2022 Asian Dragon are not very large, they can still feel some of Toyota's careful thoughts. The 2022 Asian Dragon real car debuted, with a 2.5L self-priming engine, with 8AT, the overall is not as good as Mondeo.
The exterior details have been changed to make it more recognizable
At least from the overall appearance point of view, the temperament change brought by the 2022 Asian Dragon is still very obvious, because there are indeed relatively large changes in the front face. For example, the old Asian dragon in the front part of the chrome trim for decoration, when the 2022 Asian dragon front face, replaced by a black net design, this design seems to be more youthful, but there are also some consumers think that some lack of texture. After all, everyone's aesthetic is different, and I can understand this.
The LED matrix headlights in the front face part are still very thick, but the difference with the old model is that the design of the daytime lamp group will be more eye-catching, that is to say, the recognition brought by the front face part will be more obvious. The design of the body side has also been changed, although the sneaky roof has been cancelled, but because the overall line is relatively smooth and dynamic, coupled with its own design concept is also more prominent, so the movement effect of the body side is still very outstanding.
The interior still lacks texture and is equipped with a 2.5L self-priming engine
As far as I know, the interior of japanese cars has always been complained about by car friends, in fact, I also feel that the interior of Japanese cars lacks some luxurious atmosphere, especially compared with domestic cars at the same price, the design in the interior is simply a world of difference. This time, although the 2022 Asian Dragon has undergone a certain modification of the interior, the changes brought about are still relatively small. Because although the size of the central control screen has increased, the texture and luxury in the entire interior are still not strong, which is also the biggest drawback of this car.
In addition to the 2.0L self-priming engine, there are also 2.5L self-priming engines to choose from, the former can bring a maximum horsepower of 178 horses, while the latter can bring a maximum horsepower of 209 horses. Compared with the engines of other models, this is indeed a more entry-level level. As for the transmission, it will be equipped with an 8AT gearbox, but correspondingly, the price will be relatively high.
summary
Today's consumers are more valued for cost performance, it is not easy to be intimidated by brands and some unreal things, so if you really take the 2022 Asian Dragon to compare with Mondeo, Mondeo's advantages are indeed more obvious. Secondly, the configuration and design of Mondeo is indeed more sincere, not only the power and configuration surpass the Asian dragon, the space is more outstanding than the Asian dragon, not to mention the texture and luxurious atmosphere in the interior.
