When you have more than 200,000 in your hands and want to buy a well-known and guaranteed joint venture car, your eyes will always be on the Toyota "double male". FAW's Asia Dragon and GAC's Camry are the choices for 200,000 leather durables in B-class cars, which has really made many Toyota fans entangled.
In fact, the Asian Dragon and camry do have different positions and histories. Asian Dragon is more regarded as the successor of the Crown model, in 19 years FAW Toyota launched the domestic Asian Dragon, the same stage as the Crown sales, a year later the Crown stopped production, as a North American model of the Asian Dragon to fill the gap after the Crown discontinuation.
Camry entered the country in 2006, this car has been sitting in the position of 200,000 B-class car leaders in China, and now it has been updated to the eighth generation, which is one of the few classic old models in the domestic automotive circle.
The new Camry has a total of ten configurations, the price span is relatively large, 17.98-26.98 million yuan, and toyota Asian dragon is relatively simple, only high and low, the price range is 22.68-24.48 million yuan, it is obvious that the two prices overlap, in order to reflect the fairness of the comparison, we selected the Toyota Kaimei leg 2.5G luxury version and the Asian Dragon 2.5L luxury version comparison, the two prices are almost equal.
In terms of appearance, although the two are products on the same platform, the Asian Dragon and camry have a considerable stylistic difference. Camry after many domestic revisions, has long been out of the early rigid moderation of the joint venture car, the front face eagle eye long and near light integrated three-dimensional LED headlights, with a Camry streamlined tail, simple but not losing the sense of movement, fashionable and young is the Camry's positioning today. The Asian dragon is more of a traditional split headlight plus trapezoidal grille, the line as a whole is introverted, although the "coupe" sneakback design is added, but the overall design is not as eye-catching as the Camry.
In terms of interior, the Camry is obviously better. Camry's center console shape is more avant-garde, the design style is more similar to the Lexus model, the overall workmanship looks more fine, the center console is equipped with a 10.1-inch touch LCD screen, functional matching Bluetooth, voice control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA and other functions. And Camry uses imitation leather and leather materials to wrap the seat, with the main driver's seat height four-way adjustment / waist support two-way adjustment, the main passenger seat electric adjustment, the passenger seat rear adjustable button, the comfort configuration is very rich.
Asian dragon is obviously more moderate, the center console shape is not regular, the overall line is flat and stable, the square central control operation area is very symmetrical, but it is worth noting that the Asian dragon is soft where the hand can touch, the center console also appears wood grain trim for decoration, above the 9-inch central control screen, the sense of luxury is stronger, compared to the Toyota Camry in terms of function, it lacks satellite navigation, Car Networking, OTA upgrade and other functions.
In fact, in terms of positioning, the Camry is a standard B-class sedan, but the Asian Dragon is a real B+ class model, which also makes the data of the Asian Dragon body better than the Camry in all aspects. The specific length, width and height of the Asian Dragon are 4975×1850×1450 mm, the wheelbase is 2870mm, which is 90mm and 45mm ahead of the Camry in terms of key body length and wheelbase, respectively, and the interior space is also wider, which is also one of the biggest advantages of the Asian Dragon.
The two cars have almost no difference in power, both use a 2.5L engine, the maximum output of 209 horsepower, the peak torque of 250 Nm, matching the 8-speed manual transmission, but the Asian Dragon has higher fuel consumption, which is mainly because the Asian Dragon itself is larger.
Speaking of which, I believe you already have a clearer understanding of these two cars. In fact, camry is more targeted at the young market, including the sense of technology and fashion are the things that Camry pursues, and the follow-up maintenance cost is lower; while the Asian Dragon is more of a moderate style, but the Asian Dragon has a super ordinary B-class car space experience. If you care more about space, you can choose the Asian Dragon, otherwise I would still recommend buying a Camry.
