Toyota is still powerful, and the three new cars to be launched in 2024 are all fuel vehicles

No car company has such a persistent attitude towards fuel vehicles as Toyota, so much so that Akio Toyoda has been ridiculed by netizens as an "anti-electric vehicle fighter".

As a global car company, it launched new cars not only for the Chinese market, but also for the Middle East, Africa, North America, Australia and other markets, where consumers demand more fuel cars than electric cars, and the consumer group is larger than the Chinese market.

China is an important part of Toyota's global market, and Toyota will also have 3 blockbuster fuel vehicles in 2024, of which 1 has already been launched and 2 will be launched soon.

A new generation of Lexus GX

After nine years of sharpening, the all-new Lexus GX has been officially launched in the Chinese auto market on January 13, 2024, with a guide price of 778,000-888,000 yuan.

At present, Lexus GX has 3 models on sale in China, all of which are 2.4T petrol-electric hybrid + 8AT power combination, of which the maximum engine power is 207kW and the peak torque is 430N·m, and the maximum power of the front motor is 40kW and the peak torque is 250N·m.

It may be that Toyota is considering the fuel consumption of the new Lexus GX, and the 3.5T+10AT model in the North American market has not been officially listed in China, which can be regarded as a pity for domestic consumers. Fortunately, the 8AT transmission is more efficient and fuel efficient than the 5AT transmission of the previous generation model.

What's more, it is also equipped with full-time four-wheel drive, Torsen central differential, as well as front double wishbone independent suspension + rear axle integral axle non-independent suspension system, and has off-road, snow and multiple driving modes, at least in off-road ability and stability will not be bad.

As for other aspects, the new Lexus GX has a square exterior shape, which can better highlight its identity as a hard-core off-road vehicle, and the 14-inch central control screen in the car can also support CarPlay, as well as QQ Music, Tencent Video and other common audio-visual entertainment software. As for the configuration, there are wireless charging for mobile phones, double-layer laminated glass in the front row, and sunshades for side windows in the rear.

In fact, the price range of the new Lexus GX overlaps with many tough and luxurious SUVs such as Land Rover Defender, BMW X5, and Audi Q8 in China.

The new Prado

Prado is once again in China, and in 2024 it will be officially launched in China.

The all-new Prado, like most hardcore SUVs on the market, has a retro styling, with a boxy body structure and round headlight clusters that are very different from the previous generation Prado.

It is worth mentioning that although the interior of the new Prado is still practical, the level of intelligence has been greatly upgraded, and it has begun to support wireless mobile phone interconnection, digital keys, etc., which can only be said to be a big gap compared with the intelligence of domestic hard-core SUVs, but it is not easy for conservative Japanese cars.

In terms of power, the new Prado for the Chinese market will be equipped with a hybrid system composed of 2.4T+ motors, with a maximum power of 330 horsepower and a maximum torque of 630Nm, which is matched with an 8AT manual automatic transmission, and has full-time four-wheel drive, transfer case, central differential lock and other configurations, its fuel consumption and performance are worth looking forward to. Although it is not a pure fuel vehicle, it does not use a plug-in hybrid system, which is believed to attract some buyers.

The ninth-generation Camry

On January 1, the new Camry has opened pre-sales, with a pre-sale price of 173,800-208,800 yuan, and the new car will be officially launched in March.

Although the pre-sale price of the new Camry has been quite conscientious, the new Passat and the new Magotan will also be launched in 2024, and with the rise of domestic mid-size sedans, the new Camry should also launch some car purchase benefits for the first batch of users after the price is officially announced.

The new Camry has three exterior shapes, of which the LE shape is an integrated grille, which mainly reflects the new energy hybrid style, while the SE shape is a global design, mainly emphasizing the sporty atmosphere, as for the XSE shape, the main high-end means more sporty luxury. In terms of power, the ninth-generation Camry will be equipped with Toyota's fifth-generation 2.0L and 2.5L intelligent diesel-electric hybrid systems, which will take into account both power and fuel consumption.

What's more, the new Camry's car machine system also uses 8155 chips + 128G memory for the first time, and has 64 colors of ambient lighting and 6 fragrances. No matter how you look at this kind of configuration, it is completely tailored for Chinese users. In addition, the new Camry also uses the swing valve on the Lexus LM model, which can further improve the roll stiffness of the rear suspension, further improve the support of the rear end, and improve the stability and safety of the vehicle when cornering and changing lanes.

The new Camry has undergone a comprehensive level in terms of appearance, intelligence, and chassis, and in the fuel mid-level sedan market, Camry's position is also quite prominent, will it be the fuel car you want to buy in 2024?

Summary: The new generation Lexus GX, the new Prado, and the ninth-generation Camry are Toyota's new fuel vehicles that have been launched and will be launched in 2024, and they have been upgraded and optimized in terms of intelligent networking and technology configuration, as well as power system performance and fuel consumption. Even if new energy vehicles are the trend, with Toyota's influence in the fuel vehicle market, the performance of these three cars in 2024 should not be bad. (Text/Youshi Auto forward)
