Inventory of new Japanese cars in March: the new Camry adds a 2.0L hybrid, and Nissan explores the land to be cooler?

This March, many new joint venture cars took turns, and there will naturally be no shortage of Japanese models. Among them, there are 3 new Japanese cars that have attracted a lot of attention, namely the new generation Toyota Camry, Nissan Tanlu and Honda Fit Infinite MUGEN Edition. So, what are the highlights of these three new joint venture cars, and whether they have enough market competitiveness compared with models of the same level?

1. A new generation of Toyota Camry

The new generation of Toyota Camry ushered in the launch on March 8, with a guide price of 171,800 yuan, with two power and nine configurations to choose from. As a replacement model, the new Toyota Camry has 3 styling options, which can effectively broaden the audience.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4915 (4950)/1840 (1850)/1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2825mm, which is not too different from the current model. However, the actual rear space performance is still remarkable, like a passenger with a height of about 178 cm sitting in the second row, with legroom of about two fists and headroom of about one punch.

In the interior part, one of the highlights is that it has been replaced with a larger 10.25-inch central control screen, which is still built with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, and the sense of science and technology has been significantly improved.

In terms of power, the new Toyota Camry first launched a 2.0L fuel version and a 2.0L hybrid version, the former has a maximum power of 173 horsepower, although it has decreased compared with the old model, but the price is also relatively reduced by 8000 yuan, and the new 2.0L hybrid version, the comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.2L, which is still very fuel-efficient.

Originally, the previous generation Accord was Camry's biggest opponent, and the new Accord due to design reasons, "self-abandoning martial arts", making the new Toyota Camry stand out, and compared with the current main competitors Passat and Magotan, the price advantage of the new generation Toyota Camry is more obvious, especially the new 2.0L hybrid version, compared with the old 2.5L hybrid version, the price is more affordable. In addition, the new car has more styling options and an improved sense of technology, so it is estimated that the new Camry will continue to be popular.

2. Nissan land exploration

As a new model of Dongfeng Nissan, the guide price of Tanlu is 239,800-301,800 yuan, with 5 configurations to choose from. The appearance of Nissan Tanlu is stable and imposing, which is suitable for family users.

In terms of body size, the length of 5130 mm and the wheelbase of 2900 mm still have certain advantages in the medium and large SUV segment, and the two layouts of six and seven seats are also suitable for many families.

The interior materials are very solid, with a large number of soft materials and materials, which are very good to the touch, and the retention of a large number of physical buttons also ensures the convenience of operation. The central control is equipped with a dual 12.3-inch integrated screen design, which has a good sense of science and technology.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 376 Nm, and the transmission is matched with a CVT gearbox.

Nissan Tanlu is in the medium and large SUV segment, now there are many new energy models, and the popularity is significantly higher than traditional fuel vehicles, such as the M7 and ideal L8 are among the popular models, in terms of intelligence, power, car maintenance cost, Nissan Tanlu is obviously inferior to these two models, so the prospects of this car are not optimistic.

3. Honda Fit Unlimited MUGEN Edition

The guide price of the Honda Fit Unlimited MUGEN Edition is 97,800 yuan, and the exterior styling continues the current model, with the biggest change being the addition of the original modification kit, such as blackened wheels, large-size spoilers, etc., and an exclusive logo, so the sports atmosphere is very strong.

The interior shape is basically the same as the current model, it looks very old-fashioned, the materials are relatively shabby, and the sense of science and technology is basically insulated from it, mainly because of the addition of exclusive signs.

In terms of power, the Fit Infinity MUGEN version continues the current model, still equipped with a 1.5L engine with a maximum power of 124 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm, and the transmission is matched with a CVT gearbox.

It can be seen that the main reason for the Honda Fit Infinite MUGEN Edition is that the appearance is more stylish, and there is no bright spot in the interior and power, so it is a very niche model, and now the small car market where the Honda Fit is located has been beaten by countless domestic new energy scooters, so this car is obviously not a model built for volume.

General comments

Among the above three new joint venture Japanese cars, only the new generation Toyota Camry has the potential to be a hit, and the Nissan Tanlu and Honda Fit Infinite MUGEN versions are likely to be cool. It is worth mentioning that Japanese cars, which are good at fuel-saving, are not as hot in the market as before under the impact of domestic new energy models, and with the increasing market penetration of new energy vehicles, the market share of traditional fuel Japanese cars will be further eroded.
