In the domestic mid-size car market, Toyota has introduced an Asian dragon specializing in the North American market in addition to the Camry. Since entering the Chinese market in 2019, it has been 3 years, and the monthly sales have basically maintained at about 10,000 vehicles, becoming the most potential explosive model.
After a few years of groping and rolling, just yesterday (March 30), FAW Toyota officially released the new Asian Dragon. A total of 9 models were launched, with prices ranging from 199,800 yuan to 279,800 yuan. As an annual remodel, the new car has been adjusted to the appearance and configuration. The power part continues to use 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engines and 2.5-liter dual engines.
Seconds to understand the new car
1. Two kinds of appearance kits are available
2. Cancel the physical button on the central control screen
3. Replace the 10.1-inch central control screen
4. Add 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard
"Double-face setting", the details are optimized more exquisitely
The new Asian Dragon has been tweaked in appearance to the large-mouth front grille, which was previously designed with a multi-banner interior, and is now replaced by a matrix style for a more luxurious appearance. In addition, the new car offers a black mesh front grille style, similar to the North American Sport Asian Dragon. The interior of the headlight group has added a sharp forked daily travel light strip, and the sense of technology has been further enhanced.
There was no significant change in the side of the body, because the length of the vehicle increased from the original 4975 mm to 4990 mm due to the appearance kit, and the wheelbase was still 2870 mm, so there was no significant change in the interior space. At the rear of the car, it remains unchanged from the current model.
Technology configuration increased
There are also no significant changes in the interior design, only adjustments in terms of configuration. A 12.3-inch LCD dashboard, a 10.1-inch central control screen, and the center control screen eliminates the physical buttons. In terms of safety configuration, in addition to the 10 airbags standard in the series, it is also equipped with a new generation of Toyota Safety Sense security and Toyota Chi Heng interconnection system.
Maintain 3 sets of powertrains
The new Asian Dragon continues to be powered by two petrol engines, 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter gasoline engines, as well as a 2.5-liter dual-engine version. The power parameters are also basically unchanged from the cash model. The 2.0-liter engine is mated to the CVT continuously variable transmission, the 2.5-liter engine is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission, and the 2.5-liter dual engine version is equipped with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission.
The editor said
Thanks to the architecture of TNGA, the Asian Dragon has a good performance in terms of driving quality and configuration, and the changes in the appearance of the new Asian Dragon after the renovation are undoubtedly adapting to the aesthetic appetite of young consumers, expanding the audience of the Asian Dragon, and further meeting the needs of the Chinese people in the configuration.
Of course, the most important thing is that Toyota's THS hybrid system has become the biggest selling point in terms of driving quality and fuel economy. We believe that this update iteration may help to continue to improve the sales performance of the product in the future.
