Avalon, the English name of Asian Dragon, was specially designed for the North American market before it was introduced to the China market. Therefore, although it is only a medium-sized car, it is one size larger than typical medium-sized cars such as Camry, Teana and Accord, and almost reaches the size of medium and large cars. At the same time, the official guide price of Asian Dragon is 654.38+098.8 million yuan to 289.8 million yuan, which is the same as that of Camry 654.38+07.
To say that the Asian Dragon, as the new flagship, is similar to the old crown, it is nothing more than an exaggerated large mouth grille, but relatively speaking, the crown's big mouth is still quite satisfactory and still maintains a noble posture, while the Asian Dragon's big mouth is equipped with sharp headlights and corners of the eyes, giving people the feeling of not being angry and arrogant. The line of the corner of the eye rises to the engine room cover, and the two sides of the engine room cover are raised, which makes the whole front face full of three-dimensional sense. In addition, all Asian dragons use LED headlights, which is also in line with their identity.
Coming to the side of the car body, even though the car length of the Asian dragon is close to 5 meters, the side of the car body looks slender through a low posture and a good ratio of wheelbase to car length. Compared with the sharp lines on the front face, the side of the car body is relatively simple, and the three-dimensional sense is reflected by the extended lines of the front and rear bumpers. In addition, it is commendable that Toyota's consistent design of installing the rearview mirror on the door has achieved good results in terms of high sense and improving the actual indoor vision.
The rear of the car, like the front of the car, still uses sharp lines, creating a good three-dimensional effect through the interleaving of lines and light and shadow effects. The tail of the exhaust pipe is a single hidden design, which is relatively low-key.
Compared with the patchwork lines in appearance, the interior of the Asian dragon gives people a completely different feeling. The rectangular chrome trim center console clearly separates the main driving space from the co-pilot space. This bold design is beyond the control of ordinary cars. The size of the 9-inch display is not large, but many physical buttons on both sides can see the car, which is obviously emphasizing convenience. In addition, physical keys are distributed on the air conditioning panel, which is convenient for driving. However, it is a pity that this central control panel has no car networking function, and only supports the interconnection of Carlife and Carplay mobile phones, which lacks convenience. In addition, as the flagship model of Toyota, it is naturally full of sincerity in configuration. The whole system comes standard with 10 airbags, lane keeping, departure warning, active braking and adaptive cruise.
In terms of space, the size of Asian dragon is 4975 mm/1850 mm/1450 mm, and the wheelbase is 2870mm, which is completely beyond the range of medium-sized cars, so the front and rear passengers are very comfortable to sit on, and the heavy workmanship also gives people a feeling of sitting on the sofa. In addition, through the application of TNGA platform, the head space performance of Asian dragon is still very good when the car is 1450mm, and there is no sense of oppression at all.
In terms of power, it is still a common combination of Toyota, namely, 2.0L self-priming +CVT, 2.5L self-priming +8AT, and 2.5L hybrid +E-CVT. Among them, the fuel consumption of the 2.5L hybrid version is only 4.3L per 100 kilometers, and it can run 900 kilometers with a full tank of oil, which is beyond the reach of many compact cars.
Generally speaking, as the flagship model of Toyota replacing Crown, Asian Dragon has reached the flagship level in design, space, configuration and power. Therefore, under this powerful product, it will inevitably erode the market of the younger brother Camry. Fortunately, Toyota does not worry about selling its own cars, so Toyota completely gives the choice to consumers.
