Generally, we impressed Camry in 2006 before they have been known by consumers after the domestic production, in fact, Camry has been covered in Guangdong, in the 1990s. However, at that time, I had the name of Jiamei to translate, but also to benefit from Jiamei long-lasting word of mouth, which allowed Camry to be listed, and the momentum has been continued.
Recently, the eighth generation Camry, which is close to four years, finally ushered in its medium-term change model, new car shape slightly adjusted, and Qi’s short board in technology configuration, making it more in line with the current trend. Of course, the official statement obviously did not have much convincing. Only after the test drive can feel the upgrade is in place, so today, with these questions, take a look at the new Camry product strength?
Design
The new Camry still maintains a very similar model design, but a certain modification is carried out in detail. For example, today’s test drive of the luxury suite, the iconic through medium network introduces two “creases” and chrome-plated decoration, and the new shape looks more close to Asian dragon. The sporty kit is replaced with a honeycomb design, and the surrounding honeycomb decorative piece is added around both sides, and the visual one is more excellent.
, side shape, the old model, sharp waist line with the upper plate The concave shape, bringing a good moving atmosphere. In terms of size, the new car length is 4900 * 1840 * 1455mm, and the wheelbase is 2825mm. In addition, newly added titanium gold and three new style aluminum alloy wheels bring better new car identification.
The taillight shape is subjected to fine adjustment, and the visual effect is more refined, and the tail has also been distinguished in different design patterns of the front, luxurious The version is more traditional, the exhaust pattern is bilateral, and the sports version except the black dress under the tail and taillights.In addition to the trim strips, the size of the larger diffuser is also added at the bottom, and the exhaust is also upgraded to bilateral four-in-four-storey, and there is a performance car feel.
Interior design
Compared to the appearance, it is necessary to take a ruler to see the change of the upgrade, the new Camry’s interior upgrade A bitter. The central control screen is changed from embedded to a suspension, and the size is also from 10.1 inches. Built-in the latest intellectual interconnect system, the interface layout is more reasonable, and the response speed is improved, and the function supports intelligent voice interaction, car WeChat, car navigation, peripheral service, etc. A little regrett, Apple Carplay mobile phone is still missing.
In addition to the central control screen, the full liquid crystal meter is also the first time. On Camry, there is no mistake, this should be the first Toyota car equipped with a full liquid crystal instrument. Although it is a bit late, after all, even the domestic cars of tens of thousands of dollars have been used to use the full liquid crystal meter, but it is always better than that. Moreover, with the blessing of the liquid crystal instrument, the driving information is no longer fixed, and the flexibility has improved.
Spatial comfort
Since the overall size of the body is not changed. There is no difference between ride space, but for a length of 4.9 meters long, the wheelbase comes to 2825mm Japanese medium-sized cars, space will not have much concern. Keep the front seat of 180 cm, come to the back row, the remaining two fists in the leg space, the head also has four fingers, the overall performance is in line with the expectations, plus a large soft and high-grade seat Helps to relieve fatigue accumulated during long-term travel.
There is no change in power, still providing 2.0L, 2.5L two self-suction engines and THS mixing Dynamic Square model. Our test drive today is 2.5L version, according to market feedback, 2.5L is the leastThe person selected by the person, because this price can buy a more good driving quality, a mixed model of fuel economics, and most consumers will choose the latter. However, for me, only 2.5L Camry has not experienced it. It is just to take this opportunity to try it.
The 8AT gearbox from the love is conscientious, to cater to this 2.5L engine output characteristics, the grounding is very positive, no speed is less than 80km / h can come to the highest gear. Slightly deficiencies, when the low speed is more frequently switched, it will occasionally feel the slight gentleness, the smoothness is worse than the 2.0L model of the CVT transmission.
On the chassis, Camry still uses the independent suspension of the multi-link after McFesson, while benefiting from TNGA architecture for handling support, Make the new Camry unlike the last generation model, it will only pursue comfort, which has caused a sharp decline in handling performance. In the face of the quick-side or mountain corner, it can also suppress the side of the car and give the driver enough driving confidence. Of course, Camry said that it is a household car, comfort is its ultimate goal, and it does also do it in this regard, facing the fine bumps on the road or continuous potholes, hanging can be mostly The vibration is isolated outside the carriage, and the remaining impact will also be easily resolved by the thick rear seat.
Although this is only a medium-term change model, Toyota is also sincere, the appearance is for the time aesthetics Optimization, more in line with consumers’ aesthetic vision, and scientific and technological is this CamryThe level of the level is very good to make up for the shortcomings of the past, plus the distribution more reasonable configuration and price, and believe that the Camry market performance can be further raised.
