Speaking of mid-level cars, which is what we often call B-class cars, the first estimate that comes into everyone's sight is the Camry, Accord and Maiteng. As we all know, after many rounds of market pattern reshuffle, in today's mid-level car segment, French cars and Korean cars have basically become decorations, German cars and American cars have declined but are still struggling to impact, and the wind and water are already Japanese cars.
At present, the Japanese B-class sedan has formed the "four musketeers", that is, the Camry, Accord, Tianlai and Asian Dragon in everyone's eyes. Compared with the strong market performance of Camry, Accord and Tianlai, FAW Toyota's Asia Dragon is slightly inferior, but as a mid-level sedan with cumulative sales of more than 100,000 units in the whole year, the market performance of the Asian Dragon is much better than some competitors such as Hyundai Sonata and Skoda Speed, and it is basically between Bozhong and Passat.
In order to have a new breakthrough in sales, The Asian Dragon has also made a lot of efforts, but it is still difficult to form an effective threat to the Camry, Accord and Tianlai, and can only relegate to the last place of the Japanese B-class sedan "Four Musketeers". In order to strengthen product competitiveness and snatch more market share from competitors, the Asian Dragon has also ushered in an annual redesign a few days ago, as the annual redesign model 2022 Asian Dragon has not changed much overall, but there are new improvements in the details.
The biggest change of the 2022 Asian Dragon is the appearance, although it retains the Toyota product family big mouth forward grille, but on this basis it has been improved, and the horizontal and vertical interlaced dot matrix grille has both a clear and recognizable sense of layering and aesthetics. The design of the segmented waistline and the flowing side window border highlights the visual effect of the 2022 Asian Dragon, which is also more coordinated and aesthetic overall.
In terms of interior, the 2022 Asian Dragon still continues the style of the old model, but it has been improved and refined in some details, but the effect is not particularly obvious, it can only be said that it is decent, to be honest, from the slight changes in the interior, it is enough to see that the Asian Dragon still has a stable mentality. Compared to the more personalized exterior design, the 2022 Asian Dragon does not have radical ideas in terms of interior and power.
In terms of power, the 2022 Asian Dragon is still equipped with 2.0L, 2.5L and 2.5L dual-engine power three power combinations to choose from, matching the CVT, 8AT and E-CVT gearbox. Among them, the 2.5L dual-engine engine can reach up to 178 horsepower and 221Nm torque, and the total torque of the electric motor can reach 202Nm. The wheelbase of the 2022 Asian Dragon is still 2870mm, but the length of the car has increased by 15mm to 4990mm.
In the past 2021, the cumulative sales volume of Asia Dragon exceeded 110,000 units in the whole year, and the cumulative sales volume in January and February 2022 was 23,847 units, and the market performance was still good. However, compared to Camry, Accord, Tianlai and Magotan, there is still a certain gap in sales. Especially in the Japanese B-class sedan "Four Musketeers", the sales gap between the Asian Dragon and the other three cars is still very large. For the 2022 Asian Dragon, which has been revamped annually and has slightly increased in strength, the opportunity to counterattack competitors is not too big.
There is a Chinese saying that water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat. For consumer complaints about the increase in engine oil and abnormal noise, I hope that the Asian Dragon will not appear again in 2022. While increasing sales, I also hope that The Asian Dragon can pass the good quality and service, and must not fall into the radish fast and do not wash the mud, otherwise it may be abandoned. For the 2022 Asian Dragon, do you think the car has any hope of hitting the B-class sales crown?
