As Toyota’s twin star in the domestic mid-sized car market, and although they are both mid-sized cars, the larger and higher-positioned Asian Dragon has the advantage of "most of the class", so its price will naturally be slightly higher before. Now that both cars have been replaced and upgraded, their previous price difference is almost non-existent. At this time, the Asian Dragon has undoubtedly become a more ideal choice. After all, the advantage of "most of the class" is not only reflected in size.
FAW Toyota, Asian Dragon 2024, Dual Engine 2.5L Limited flagship version, guide price 256,800
GAC Toyota, Camry 2024, Dual Engine 2.5HQ flagship version, guide price 259,800
In order to better reflect their respective configuration levels and technological levels, we selected the top matches of the two cars for comparison. It can be seen that the "half-level" Asian Dragon top match guide price is already lower than the Camry top match.
Steady PK Aggressive
The new Camry adopts the latest design style of the family, and generally pursues avant-garde science fiction, but this more radical design is not suitable for everyone, especially its front face shape, which feels less atmospheric. In comparison, the design of the Asian Dragon is obviously more mature, not only has the stability of a medium-sized car, but also integrates dynamic elements, giving people the impression of atmosphere and not old-fashioned, but also in line with people’s aesthetics.
The new Asian Dragon offers two kinds of front face grilles. The new car has upgraded both front faces this time. One is the integrated star diamond grille, which adopts a diamond-shaped design inside and has a clear gradient effect, giving people a very dynamic feeling. This front face is equipped with a 2.5L dual engine. The other is a high-brightness modular grille with a lot of chrome decoration inside, which is more luxurious.
In terms of body size, the Asian Dragon has a comprehensive advantage in terms of length, width and wheelbase (the same height), which not only has a greater sense of volume, but also lays a better foundation for the interior space, especially the rear space.
The top of the new Asian Dragon 2.0L dual-engine and 2.5L dual-engine are equipped with 19-inch vortex energy wheels, which are very similar to turbine spokes, and the visual effect is very textured. The wheel hub of the Camry top model is 18 inches, and the visual effect is naturally worse than that of the Asian Dragon.
The rear of both cars is dominated by horizontal lines, which has two advantages. The first is to better reflect the visual width of the body, and the second is to have a sense of hierarchy.
Most of the grade sense
If you have the opportunity to sit in two cars separately, you will definitely feel the difference in luxury between the two cars. When you come to the Asian Dragon’s car, a strong luxury atmosphere will come to you. The well-designed cockpit not only takes into account practicality and beauty, but also pays great attention to the details. A lot of soft wraps are used in the car, which are delicate and fine workmanship. The roof is wrapped in Belleza material of the same level as Lexus, and there is also a quilting process on the leather inside the steering wheel, seats and door panels, which not only adds elegance to the car, but also makes the car look more meaningful. In addition, solid wood trim is also used in the car, which further enhances the sense of class and luxury in the car. Although some genuine leather wraps were also used in the Camry, there was no quilting process and solid wood trim, so the overall grade was "half a grade".
In order to create a more luxurious atmosphere, both cars are also equipped with 64-color ambient lights and intelligent fragrance systems. The Asian Dragon fragrance contains three different fragrances, which can be switched and adjusted in concentration, providing a romantic and emotional atmosphere for the cabin.
The two vehicles are equipped with the same 12.3-inch full LCD meter, and both also have a head-up display. The LCD meter has been redesigned to display more comprehensive driving information. The head-up display allows drivers to check the information without having to look down frequently, thus enhancing driving safety.
The size of the central control screen of the two cars is 12.3 inches, and the 12.3-inch smart screen of the Asian Dragon also adopts the pad design. Both cars are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips, and the running speed of the car system is smoother and smoother. In terms of car functions, both cars have CarPlay, CarLife, HUAWEI HiCar, automatic speech recognition, OTA upgrade, remote control and rich vehicle to everything functions, which is not a problem to meet the needs of consumers in the car and entertainment. Among them, automatic speech recognition supports continuous conversation, visible speech and partition recognition. The Asian Dragon is also equipped with QQ Music, Himalayan FM, car WeChat, WeSing and other entertainment apps.
The driving assistance systems of both cars have reached the L2 level, and both can realize adaptive cruise in the lane at high speed and on the loop. In terms of specific functions, the Asian Dragon also has more rear collision warnings than the Camry. More importantly, the Asian Dragon is the standard L2 Toyota Pilot intelligent driving system for all models. It includes 8 intelligent safety measures including adaptive cruise and adaptive high beams and 6 driving auxiliary features, which can reduce driver fatigue and significantly improve driving safety.
The Asian Dragon is equipped with 10 empty airbags, and it is standard in the whole series. Even the Camry has fewer co-pilot knee airbags than the Asian Dragon, and it is rare to see models that can achieve the standard 10 empty airbags. Many models with 400,000 or 500,000 airbags cannot do it. This is indeed quite good.
Wheelbase difference 45mm
Both cars are equipped with comfortable and spacious leather seats, and both have front-row electric adjustment, heating, ventilation and driver’s seat memory functions. The seats of the Asian Dragon have a new design, and the seat skin and quilting technology have been improved to provide a more comfortable and comfortable ride. The seats of the Camry are less classy because they do not have quilting technology.
The wheelbase of the Asian Dragon is 45mm more than that of the Camry, which is also directly reflected in the rear space. The 2870mm wheelbase and 1025mm rear legroom rank among the best in the same class, making it not only easy to handle household use, but also no problem with business reception.
The same three power configurations
Asian Dragon and Camry both provide 2.0L self-priming, 2.0L dual-engine and 2.5L dual-engine three sets of power, of which the new 2.0L dual-engine version is a lot lower for consumers who want to buy dual-engine power. The starting price of Asian Dragon 2.0L dual-engine is only 206,800, it uses Toyota’s fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.31L/100km (Asian Dragon).
In terms of the 2.5L dual-engine version compared today, the engine parameters and motor parameters of the two cars are the same, but the total power and total torque of the system are higher. The total power of the Asian Dragon system is 172kW, the total torque is 234N · m, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.36L/100km. The Camry system has a total power of 169kW and a total torque of 230N · m. The WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.55L/100km. The same power system has stronger parameters and lower fuel consumption. This should be the advantage of "most of the stage".
Summarize:
The result of the comparison between the two cars is that the design of the Asian Dragon is more in line with people’s aesthetics, the ride is more spacious, the interior is more luxurious, and there are more configurations to achieve the standard of the whole series. There is no doubt that these are the benefits brought by the "most half level". Before, these benefits required an extra budget, but now they only need the same price as the Camry, and these benefits are yours.
At present, FAW Toyota has also launched the 21st Anniversary Thanksgiving Season activities. From September 1st to September 30th, the purchase of Asian Dragon can enjoy a new subsidy of up to 25,000 yuan, old friend care gifts, store surprise gifts and anniversary expansion gifts. Interested consumers should not miss this opportunity!
