For family cars, more use scenarios are carrying the travel needs of a family, so consumers usually prefer to buy a medium-sized car, after all, the size and space are larger, and the power performance is better. In the mid-size sedan market, the sales volume is still more prominent in some classic joint venture models, such as Camry, Accord, Magotan and so on. Among them, the Toyota Camry has always been loved by Chinese consumers, and in the past year, it has sold more than 220,000 units in the whole year, which can be called a household name in the Chinese market.
Now Toyota has brought the ninth-generation Camry model, the new car has officially announced the pre-sale price, the pre-sale price range is 173,800-208,800 yuan, the new car is not only fully upgraded inside and outside, but also has a new 2.0L intelligent electric hybrid version to choose from. So from the point of view of a family car, is it reliable?
First of all, look at the appearance, with the gradual rejuvenation of the automobile consumer group, their demand for the appearance of family cars not only stays in the inherent impression of atmosphere, calmness and moderation, but also personality, youth and sports have also become a new appearance label. The all-new Camry gives three sets of exterior designs at one time, of which the SE and XSE versions pay more attention to the creation of a sense of sportiness, equipped with a large-size blackened style grille, with vertical air intakes on both sides, bringing a strong sense of visual impact. The LE version is equipped with a gradient grille design, and the vertical air intakes on both sides are also smaller in size, making the whole more like a new energy vehicle. The exterior design of the all-new Camry is more fashionable and dynamic than the previous generation model, and the appearance is higher, which is believed to be more attractive to young consumers.
Looking at the interior and space performance of the new car, the interior changes of the ninth-generation Camry are still relatively obvious, and the layout of the entire interior is more reasonable and more in line with the aesthetic needs of the Chinese people. Equipped with embedded digital instruments, a 12.3-inch floating central control screen, and the use of different materials, it creates a good sense of refinement and technology. It is worth mentioning that the new car not only introduces the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, but also is equipped with a voice interaction system deeply developed with Huawei, the overall car machine will run more smoothly, and at the same time supports CarPlay, CarLife and Huawei HiCar three mobile phone interconnection functions, which is more in line with the usage habits of Chinese consumers. In addition, there is a head-up display function, which is more convenient and safe for long-distance high-speed running.
The length, width and height of the new Camry are 4915/1840/1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2825mm, which is 30mm longer than the previous generation model and 5mm lower in height, so its size and space performance still have good advantages in the same class of models.
In addition, comfort and safety are also indispensable attributes of a family car, compared with the previous generation model, the new Camry has added 13 pieces of sound-absorbing cotton in 3 positions in the whole car, and more than 90% of the whole car is made of white cotton, bringing better sound absorption. The rear doors have also been upgraded with soundproof glass, which has been improved through a series of soundproofing optimizations to improve the quietness of the car. At the same time, the front and rear airbags have been upgraded, the front row has added the same central airbag as the Mercedes-Benz E-class, and the side airbag has been upgraded to a three-chamber airbag, and the rear side air curtain area has increased by 78%, making the safety more guaranteed.
Finally, the power and cost of the car, the new Camry currently launched a 2.0L gasoline version of the power and a 2.0L intelligent electric hybrid version, and the official also said that a 2.5L intelligent electric hybrid version will be launched in the future. Take the new 2.0L intelligent electric hybrid version as an example, its comprehensive output power is 145 kilowatts, which is not very different from the previous generation model 2.5L hybrid, and the horizontal comparison of the Accord 1.5T and Passat 2.0T (low-power version) of the same level also has certain advantages. What's more, its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 4.2L, which greatly reduces the daily cost of use for a family car, and the pre-sale price is only 181,800, which further lowers the threshold for purchasing hybrid models.
Summary: The upgrade of the new Camry's product power is still obvious, the appearance is more youthful and sporty, and there are more options. The interior has become more refined, and at the same time, it has also made up for the shortcomings of intelligence. The new 2.0L intelligent electric hybrid dual engine takes into account good power performance and lower fuel consumption, and in combination with its pre-sale price of 173,800, the new Toyota Camry is still a good family car.
