"The most daring" Toyota B-class car! The new model is on the market, and the current model has fallen to 140,000, and it is not bad to drive recently, and you still look at the Accord?
I don't know if you have noticed that today's electric vehicles are almost once a year or so, or even a mid-term or major facelift in two years, but this is not the case in the era of fuel vehicles. Generally speaking, it normally takes about six years for a new car to go from launch to facelift. It's been almost six years since the launch of the all-new 8th-generation Camry in 2018, so it's time for a facelift. Recently, the ninth-generation Camry has been officially released at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and now the Camry sold in China has also reached the moment of clearance, and even the lowest price is only more than 140,000. Now there are some friends in the background who want to buy the bottom to consult, can the Camry of more than 140,000 be bought?
Camry's monthly sales in China are basically around 10,000-20,000 units, and its strength is outstanding. Recently, the sales of this new car have surpassed that of the Accord, which also shows that the Camry is making a big discount. The biggest selling point of Camry's new car is that it is a new car owned by Toyota, with a good reputation and quality, and the most important thing is that the product performance is relatively stable.
In fact, the reason why Camry's stable performance is inseparable from the power system. When all car companies are pushing small-displacement turbocharging, the Camry is stubborn with itself and always uses a naturally aspirated engine system. The Camry currently on sale is equipped with a 2.0-liter, 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and even a 2.5-liter hybrid version, all three powertrains are naturally aspirated, which coincides with the Lexus ES.
For a long time, the entry-level joint venture model has always liked to use simple equipment to lower the price of new cars to attract consumers. In fact, the appearance configuration of this Camry is not bad, such as the headlights are LED light sources, and they are also matched with daytime running lights and LED fog lights, and the only difference between the middle and high configuration is the lack of adaptive high and low beam headlights.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with an electric sunroof, which is no different from the mid-to-high-spec models, the real difference is in the size of the wheels. The entry-level model is fitted with 16-inch wheels, while other configurations are generally available in 17-inch and 18-inch wheels. If you want to see whether a Camry is high or low, you can distinguish it from the wheels.
There are some differences in the interior design, such as the plastic steering wheel of the entry-level model, while the seats are manual fabric, which is the most obvious difference from the mid-to-high-end Camry.
Due to the relatively low price, this Camry lacks a connected system, and the central control screen size is only 8 inches. In fact, what is missing is not only the in-vehicle network system, but also the intelligent driving service. This low-spec model does not have any driver assistance systems, and the reversing camera, reversing radar, active braking, and adaptive cruise control are all absent.
This Camry is equipped with a 2.0L+CVT continuously variable transmission, which is more than enough for daily driving, but due to the weak power in the high-speed process, the engine will always be maintained at high speed, which is actually unfavorable to the reduction of fuel consumption, and the noise is also very obvious.
Overall, for everyday use, this entry-level Toyota Camry is not bad, and you can buy a B-segment car with a lot of space with the budget of an A-class car, and the performance is stable and the fuel consumption is low. Although there are also shortcomings, the cost performance is still very good. Of course, the rival of the Toyota Camry has changed, and it is no longer the original Accord, but some electric cars. After all, although the price of a naked car is only more than 140,000, with the purchase tax, compared with electric vehicles of the same level, the advantages are not obvious.
