In addition, FAW Toyota has also carefully prepared the "Six Exclusive Zhimei Luxury Packages", for details, please refer to the official website. According to the configuration performance and the price range, the 2022 Asian Dragon can be described as "no increase in price", under the premise of configuration upgrade, the price has not risen with the water, or remains in the same range as the original, full of sincerity, and the cost performance is quite good.
First, a brief description of the model
In order to better meet the diversified aesthetic needs of users, the 2022 FAW Toyota Asian Dragon incorporates more design inspiration into the front grille and offers two different styles to choose from. Among them, the 2.5L dual engine version and the 2.0L gasoline version adopt the upper and lower integrated high-brightness module grille, which is carefully carved to highlight the atmospheric style; the 2.5L gasoline version adopts the dot matrix mid-grid model, which is very dynamic and avant-garde. In addition, the new car has been adjusted and optimized for the interior of the headlights group to make its visual effect sharper.
The body shape is full and smooth, and the segmented waistline and flowing side window frame design are retained, and the whole car looks particularly slender. Although the overall style of the rear part of the car has not changed much compared with the old model, the new car has been adjusted for the details. After the bottom of the encirclement canceled the original exhaust decoration, changed to a one-piece black trim, the visual effect is more refreshing and simple. The middle of the taillight group is still equipped with a decorative strip and the word "AVALON", which seems to be a through-through design, but the middle light strip does not actually light up.
The 2022 FAW Toyota Asia Dragon offers two sizes of rims, and the low-end model uses double five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, with a simple and stylish shape, and the tire size is 215/55 R17. Although the size is not large, it looks quite coordinated and decent. The high-end model is equipped with gun gray multi-spoke wheels, the visual effect is calm and atmospheric, creating a strong sense of luxury, and the tire size has been upgraded to 235/45 R18.
In terms of body color, the new car offers a total of 6 different color schemes. Personally recommend "streamer silver" and "platinum white", simple and versatile, if you want to show more sense of stability, then "ink black" is definitely the best choice. Of course, if it is a female consumer choice, then "Danxia Hong" is also very worthy of attention.
In terms of interior, the 2022 FAW Toyota Asia Dragon basically continues the design style of the old model. The center console adopts a calm and atmospheric symmetrical layout, pure black color scheme and solid workmanship, and the sense of quality is quite outstanding. In the configuration part, the new car has added smart keys, wireless charging, full LCD instruments and other configurations, plus a 10.1-inch multimedia screen, a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 10-inch HUD head-up display, and the three-screen linkage creates a strong sense of science and technology. In addition, the new model also adds Toyota Connect Toyota Chi Heng interconnection system, which can realize remote control of the vehicle and make daily use more convenient.
In terms of power, the new car continues to offer two naturally aspirated engines, 2.0L and 2.5L, with the drivetrain matching the CVT and 8-speed automatic transmission respectively. In addition, the 2022 FAW Toyota Asia Dragon will continue to provide models equipped with a 2.5L dual-engine powertrain, which is matched with an E-CVT stepless transmission.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
The 2022 FAW Toyota Asia Dragon entry-level model is the 2.0L Enterprise Edition, priced at 199,800 yuan, the price is not expensive, and the configuration performance is also decent. In fact, as far as daily home use is concerned, the cost performance of the entry-level model is not low, and the basic configuration is not shabby, such as LED automatic headlights, electric sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, 7-inch LCD instrument, 8-inch central control screen and automatic air conditioning, etc., in addition to its rich active safety system. However, the reason why it is not recommended is mainly because the requirements for the configuration of this level of models can not be too low, and the powertrain of 2.0L + CVT is really too "desireless". As long as the budget is not too tight, then the entry-level version of the Asian Dragon is definitely not the best choice.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
In terms of recommendation, the personal first 2.5L luxury version, priced at 226,800 yuan. This model is equipped with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is more powerful. In terms of configuration, although the recommended model and the 2.0L luxury version model are almost the same in terms of configuration, it is quite cost-effective to exchange 0.9 million yuan for a better performance powertrain. Of course, I am not saying that the 2.0L version of the model can not be selected, if there is no demand for power, just the pursuit of affordability, then the entry-level version of the 2.0L aggressive version is not impossible, this still needs to vary from person to person.
In addition, if it is a consumer with a relatively large budget, then the top version of the 2.5L dual-engine Limited flagship version is also very worth considering. As a top-of-the-line model, it is undoubtedly the best in terms of configuration performance, exclusive open panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing automatic wiper, steering wheel heating, seat heating, driver's seat power seat memory, rear multimedia control, JBL sound system and rear windshield sunshade. The top version of the model is priced at 279,800 yuan, combined with the performance of the configuration, the cost performance is not low.
In summary, for the purchase opinion of the 2022 FAW Toyota Asia Dragon, the first 2.5L luxury version priced at 226,800 yuan can be given priority by consumers when choosing. Of course, if the budget is sufficient, then the 2.5L dual-engine Limited flagship version priced at 279,800 yuan is also very worth buying.
