If you talk about mid-size cars, most people will think that this is a model exclusive to middle-aged people, especially represented by the Camry, calm and fuel-efficient is the biggest label. However, The Nissan Tianlai, which belongs to the Japanese camp with camry, is not quite like a middle-aged car, and its appearance and motivation are more in line with the tastes of young people. From the perspective of monthly sales, the two are more than 10,000 units between Bozhong, I believe that everyone has also made a comparison when buying a car, so what are their characteristics?
Vehicle design: Tianlai is stylish on the outside and at home inside, and the two sets of Camry appearances meet different needs
The design of the whole vehicle can be divided into two parts, one part is the external design and the other part is the interior design. Although Tianlai and Camry are both Japanese, the design style and concept are very different. As mentioned earlier, Tianlai is slightly younger, and the Camry is more stable, but the car is not exactly the same, and then look at it specifically.
The exterior shape of Tianlai is still the taste of a traditional medium-sized sedan overall, but it has added careful thinking in some details and is more youthful. For example, the front face uses the Nissan V-Motion 2.0 family design, the V-shaped chrome trim is very thick, the headlights on both sides are clustered inward like arrows, and most models are equipped with LED headlights.
The lines on the sides are smooth and not complicated, and you can see that the rear part has been shaped like a slippery back, and a small bulge has been made in the rear triangle window position to increase the activity. The rear compartment cover has small duck wings, the tail lights make a visual effect of black strokes, the same has the appearance of arrows, echoing the headlights, the bottom skid plate is made of diffuser, and the exhaust pipe is hidden at the bottom.
Camry has two kinds of external shapes, one is biased towards stability, doing a "big mouth" under the surrounding grille, the other is more sporty, we generally see most of the road running is the former, after all, buy camry should not pay special attention to performance, the sport version is also somewhat unnecessary.
There are also more obvious differences in the tail of the two appearances, and the regular version is the more common sedan shape, which is what we call a sedan with an ass. The bottom is done with a double exhaust. The sport version is more exaggerated, with more small tail wings, a diffuser-style guard plate surrounded by the lower part, and a very exaggerated four-out exhaust.

The interior of Tianlai has a rather homely design, with imitation wood grain trim throughout the center console, and a separate display is located in the center, which is friendly to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Air conditioning outlet, air conditioning control area, storage compartment, shift lever area, cup holder, these are all layouts that are very familiar to the old driver, which not only retains the habits of operation, but also does not look dull.
Camry
Camry uses an irregular center console design, the position of the central control screen is slightly off the co-pilot side, but the angle is tilted to the driver's side, coupled with the "Y" shape of the trim strip division, giving people a visual feeling is not so neat, may need to get used to a little period of time. In terms of size, it is slightly larger than Tianlai, except for the minimum configuration of 10.1 inches.
Intelligent: L2 level intelligent driving assistance, intelligent vehicle machine
Heavenly
The Nissan Connect super intelligent connection system equipped with Tianlai has the mainstream intelligent speech recognition function, supports online navigation, and has built-in online video, online radio and other APP. You can remotely control the vehicle and turn on the air conditioner in advance, such as in the winter and summer, adjust the temperature in the car to the appropriate range, which can greatly improve the comfort of the car.
Heavenly
Tianlai's automatic driving assistance capability has reached the L2 level, supporting one-click intelligent opening, which is more convenient than many similar cars. Supports automatic parking in the range of 0-144km/h, and can be kept in the middle of the lane, like a competent old driver helping the owner to drive.
Camry
Camry had an upgrade for intelligence a year ago, and the system became easier to use, with in-vehicle WeChat, voice interaction, online maps and other functions. Remote control, including dual flash, start air conditioning and other functions are also equipped, all aspects of performance is very close to Tianlai.
Camry
The Camry is equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense safety system, which can also achieve L2-level driving assistance and can achieve automatic follow-up and stop at a speed of 0-30km/h. It is slightly worse than the natural sound, but the gap is also relatively limited, so it can be regarded as a basic level in terms of intelligent driving assistance.
Interior space: the sense of scale is equal, and the comfort is close

Camry
If you look at the external dimensions of the two cars, you can find that they are very close, the length, width and height of the tianlai are 4901 * 1850 * 1450 / 1447mm, and the Camry is 4885 / 4900 * 1840 * 1455mm. Coincidentally, their wheelbase is both 2825mm. In terms of seat material and functionality, they are all sub-low-end and start to be equipped with leather seats and front seat ESC, and the leather used in nature is slightly higher in cost.
Power: 2.0T strong explosiveness, 2.5L hybrid energy saving and fuel saving
Heavenly
Camry
In the choice of powertrain, the two cars use a close but different strategy, first of all, they have a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, as an entry-level model in the car series, convenient for users with low power demand and limited budget. The difference is that Tianlai is also equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 243Ps and a maximum torque of 371N·m, which is excellent in the entire mid-size car field. Camry is also equipped with 2.5L self-priming and 2.5L hybrid, the advantage is that the fuel consumption is indeed very low, and the disadvantage is that the acceleration is much slower than the Tianlai 2.0T.
From the perspective of sales, the two are very close, and there are many similarities in terms of positioning, such as the wheelbase is completely consistent, and there is a 2.0L powertrain. But the difference is also obvious, the external shape of Tianlai is relatively young, suitable for young consumers, camry is relatively old, of course, there are sports versions to choose from. In addition, in the power system, young people generally prefer the powerful 2.0T more than the fuel-saving 2.5L dual engine. On the whole, both are not bad, but Tianlai is more suitable for young consumers.
