I saw an advertisement in the elevator of the complex.
I was very surprised that this was the first time I saw a car advertisement in an elevator.
What? Camry is only selling for 139,800 now?
What kind of car needs to be advertised?
I feel that three years ago, this car seemed to have to sell for more than 200,000 yuan.
In just three years, the price of the ninth-generation Camry has been directly reduced to 139,800, which feels like a dream.
This car has only been on the market for a long time, and the listed price is 171,800 yuan.
So, is the 139,800 Camry very crotch-pulling?
It is said that the configuration of the "beggar version" of the Japanese car can't bear to look at it directly, and it is basically plastic plus a radio.
Then, after a closer look, it seems that this is not the case.
The 139,800 2024 Camry 2.0E Elite Edition, with a length of 4,915mm and a wheelbase of 2,825mm, is longer and larger than the 2023 model, and it is still a standard B-segment car.
The new model also has a more stylish, youthful and sporty look.
It's just that the power is a little worse, and the engine has become a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a power of only 127kW, 173 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 206Nm.
It's a bit of a crotch pull.
It's just that fortunately, it is fuel-efficient, with a fuel consumption of only 5.84L per 100 kilometers (under WLTC working conditions), which is the most fuel-efficient in the B-class car, except for BYD's car.
However, in terms of configuration, compared with the old model, there is still an improvement.
For example, the minimum equipment comes standard with lane departure warning, forward collision warning, lane keeping, lane centering, active braking, road traffic sign recognition, L2 driver assistance system (ACC full-speed adaptive cruise control) .......
Even the airbags come standard with 7, can you believe that?
Moreover, they also have a small skylight.
It also supports remote control of mobile App, including vehicle monitoring, remote control, service appointment and other functions.
Therefore, overall, as a B-class pure fuel vehicle, the configuration of the ninth-generation Camry is not too stretched, of course, this is based on the fact that it only sells for 139,800.
After all, the starting price of the 6th generation Camry is as high as 189,800 yuan, but the configuration is not as high as the 9th generation Camry, and the price of the 9th generation is directly cheaper by 60,000 yuan.
Let's take a look at the other B-segment cars in the same class as the Camry.
The Accord is now only sold for 152,800 yuan (2024 luxury model), and the Passat (2024 model year 280TSI Business Edition) is now sold for only 143,900 yuan.
For less than 150,000, you can buy a B-class fuel car, which would have been thought three years ago?
So, all this is definitely not the conscience of Japanese cars? I feel that I have made enough money, and then I start to reduce the price and give the profit to consumers.
After all, once a Corolla could be sold for 180,000.
And all this, it is precisely because of the rise of BYD cars, if we study some data, you will find that the price reduction of Japanese cars is directly proportional to the sales of BYD cars, the more BYD cars are sold, the more Japanese cars will be reduced.
In 2020, BYD sold 420,000 vehicles;
In 2021, BYD sold 730,000 vehicles;
In 2022, BYD sold 1.86 million vehicles;
In 2023, BYD will sell 3.02 million vehicles.
In just four years, BYD's car sales have increased nearly 8 times.
The sales volume is increasing at a rate of nearly 2 times every year.
So the question is, whose market is BYD's car sales growing at such a rapid rate?
The answer is actually obvious, it is a Japanese car.
Because, in the past few years, the best domestic sales of cars are Japanese cars, what to increase the price of the car, is not groundless, buy a car also depends on the sales face, a high, you love to buy or not to buy the posture.
Want to get your home down on the price? Don't even think about it!
It's good not to sell the car at a higher price for you.
It is precisely with the comprehensive rise of domestic new energy vehicles led by BYD that these joint venture cars have completely put down their arrogant and arrogant figures, and have begun to continuously reduce prices and then reduce prices to seize the market.
It is precisely because of these domestic cars that these joint venture car companies have completely ended the good days of "lying down to make money", and the CEO of the joint venture car will stand up and cry that the "involution" is too serious, and the real "volume" cannot be moved, and it can no longer be rolled like this, and calls on relevant departments to study the ...... of "oil and electricity with the same rights".
Therefore, it is still the same sentence, "Whether you buy BYD's car or not, you have to thank BYD".
You can not buy it, but please don't buy a 139,800 Toyota Camry while scolding BYD and other domestic cars.
It's really not authentic!
Above, agree with the like!
