At the beginning of the toyota Asian Dragon's listing, market analysts pointed out that the sales of the car may not be able to replicate the Camry. However, after the listing, under the role of Toyota's halo, The Asian Dragon has still gained the recognition of many consumers. Today, it will usher in a mid-term change, but what makes people more concerned is that the car will no longer be equipped with imported engines, but replaced by domestic engines, so is it still worth starting? Today we will interpret it in detail.
The new car has not changed much in terms of design, it is still the original design style, but there are two styles to choose from in terms of grille, one is the dot matrix, one is the grid format, these two styles of grille design is to meet the needs of different consumers, young people prefer a more sporty grid style, and mature people have a special love for the dot matrix.
The body and rear of the car basically maintain the original design style, and the original design style itself is relatively outstanding, so the overall shape of the change is basically not large. Of course, this car is also a mid-term revamp, not a major redesign, so considering the cost, Toyota will not make too many changes for it.
In terms of interior design, the overall design of the current model continues to be used, also taking into account the cost problem, so no corresponding changes have been made. Compared with many current new energy models, this interior style is lacking in the atmosphere of science and technology, but it has a good performance in terms of fashion sense and design sense, and to this day, this design is not outdated.
The new model cancels the buttons on both sides of the screen, the central control button area still uses the key letter separation design, this design advantage is that when the button is pressed, the type is still visible, compared to the design of the button letter integration, the accuracy rate is higher when operating. However, the temperature buttons on both sides do not reference the knob design, and they need to be pressed multiple times when adjusting the temperature, which is too cumbersome.
The space performance of this car is more decent, the current model has a wheelbase of 2870mm, the front head space is about 3 fingers, the rear head is about 2 fingers, the leg space is barely 2 punches, and the height of the tester is 181cm. From the data point of view, the car's spatial performance is not outstanding, and the optimization space is still relatively large. The spatial performance of new cars may not be much different.
The biggest change in the new car is the engine, the 2.5L version of the model, which was replaced from the imported engines previously code-named A25A and A25B to the domestically produced 2.5L engine code-named A25h. What kind of changes will occur in terms of specific power, it is still unknown, but the new model will bring a 2.5L hybrid version, and I believe that the hybrid version will bring a relatively good power performance. After the use of domestic engines, the cost may be further reduced, it is expected that there will be a certain price change after the car is listed, even if the price remains unchanged, the later preferential treatment may be improved.
summary:
Asia Dragon this car has experienced a lot of ups and downs after the listing, and in the eyes of domestic consumers, this car has a relatively strong attraction, not only Toyota's reputation, in the second-hand car market, it also has a high retention rate, its 5-year retention rate is as high as 54.98, in the same level of models can be said to be a proud existence. However, after replacing the domestic engine, what kind of fate will it usher in? Will its retention rate remain high? What do you think about that?
