Which model is the most popular in the B-Class segment? 5 years ago, you might say "Ashkenazi double male", Passat and Magotan are the favorites of Chinese consumers, but with the decline of German cars, Honda Accord began to rise strongly, with a sporty appearance, young and fashionable fluid shape, this car has been the top of the B-class car sales list for several consecutive years, so that countless Chinese consumers are obsessed.
The Camry topped the B-class sales charts
We all know that Honda is very popular in China, especially in some cities in the south, such as Guangzhou, everyone buys a car to buy a Honda model, originally thought that the Honda Accord will continue its popularity, but after entering 2021, the Camry began to rise strongly, in the past 2021, camry achieved 217,700 vehicles, up 17.5% year-on-year in 2021, successfully surpassed the Honda Accord, and achieved the B-class car sales championship. The Honda Accord, on the other hand, sold 20,000 fewer units than the Camry, with a total of 197,700 units sold in 2021.
Many people attribute the decline in sales of the Honda Accord to the lack of chip supply, but I would like to ask you, is the Camry not affected by the chip? Perhaps Toyota Motor took precautions, at the beginning of the emergence of the new crown epidemic, it has anticipated that the global auto market will face the pressure of chip shortage, and they have hoarded a large number of car chips, but long-term strategic planning is also one of the necessary factors for the success of car companies, which is also irrefutable.
The key to Camry's best-selling
Why did the Toyota Camry achieve such excellent results? I think this is closely related to the state of the Chinese auto market and the quality control of Camry vehicles.
As far as the Chinese automobile market is concerned, its development presents another very "deformed" situation, all 200,000-level B-class cars, we do not like to buy French cars and Korean cars, after all, Chinese consumers have always believed that the brand of French cars and Korean cars is not worth the price, and LaCrosse, Regal and other American models, due to their localization reduction is very serious, but also let some Chinese consumers lose confidence in it, originally thought that everyone would compete to buy German cars, but passat's crash test results pulled down the lower limit, This has also forced Chinese consumers to turn around and buy Japanese cars. Therefore, in the past 2021, not only the Camry and Accord sales are very high, but also the sales of Nissan Tianlai are also very high, with annual sales of 164,000 vehicles.
Camry's quality control is also unquestionable, after all, Toyota's reputation has a long history, it is a global consumer recognition of the car brand. The Chinese version of the Camry matches the 2.0L+CVT, 2.5L+8AT, 2.5L+E-CVT hybrid models, and its styles are diverse and can meet the needs of different consumers. If you just want to buy a family model, there is no excessive requirement for the power of the vehicle, most people will choose the 2.0L + CVT version of the Camry; if you want a pure fuel model that is still powerful, 2.5L+8AT is definitely your dish; if you want lower fuel consumption, but also take into account the power of the vehicle, 2.5L + E-CVT hybrid model is definitely your favorite, and toyota hybrid model durability and stability is super high, called the world's leading, its best-selling should be deserved.
Camry's durability and stability are excellent, I don't know if you have visited the used car market? We will always encounter some Camry with a mileage of 300,000 or 400,000 kilometers, standing in the vast car, after carefully observing the condition of the vehicle, there is no trace of maintenance, the engine and transmission are original, the state of the vehicle is consistent, the noise of the engine is very small, the shifting smoothness of the transmission can also be guaranteed, even if its driving range has been very long, it is still the used car market in the fragrant food, this is the Camry.
In general, Chinese consumers still recognize the Camry car very much, and its high durability, stability and excellent reputation are the keys for Chinese consumers to choose it.
