How does it feel to drive Toyota Asian Dragon? You'll know when you open it.

What's the driving quality of this Toyota Asian Dragon? What's the difference with Camry? Let's talk today.

power take off

Just enough.

At present, this car has three power configurations: 2.0L self-priming, 2.5L self-priming and 2.5L hybrid. Our car is a 2.0L self-priming engine, model M20A, maximum power 13 1KW, maximum torque 2 10, and mixed injection technology.

This 2.0L self-priming engine is not as weak as expected. Below 80km/h, the power will not be slow, but it is relatively strong, the throttle control is accurate, and it is handy to drive on urban roads. However, if the speed exceeds 80 kilometers per hour, you will obviously feel the lack of power and acceleration. High speed is often needed to maintain power, resulting in "dry roar" of the engine. So if there is a demand for power, 2.5 self-priming or mixing is the first choice.

This low-profile 2.0 engine matches the CVT gearbox, while the 2.5 is the 8AT gearbox. We are no strangers to this Aisin CVT gearbox, which can simulate 10 gear like Toyota Zhenghe, which was disassembled before. The shifting characteristics are very smooth and smooth. Different from ordinary CVT, Toyota CVT has added gears in the gearbox. When starting, first shift gears 1 and 2, and then shift gears continuously. The advantage of this is to avoid the increase of engine speed when starting, so that the low speed is smoother and more fuel-efficient.

Driving experience

Comfortable and stable

Although they are all Toyota TNGA platforms, the chassis adjustment of Asian Dragon is completely different from the previously disassembled Camry. Camry's driving style is more European and sporty, while Asian Dragon is more calm and comfortable, which is very close to lexus ES.

The handling performance of this car is relatively general, and the steering wheel is slightly heavy, but it feels sticky and has nothing to do with sports, so it is very comfortable. The support of suspension during steering is not bad, and its high-speed stability is better than that of ordinary Japanese cars, which is closer to the handling performance of lexus es.

Steering force

Relatively heavy

We are on the same road section (the ground friction is the same), the tire pressure is adjusted to the manufacturer's standard tire pressure, and the standard mode is used, and the steering wheel is rotated by a tensiometer at a constant speed of 90 degrees to get the maximum value.

This car has only one driving mode, and the original steering force is1.6kg. It's a bit difficult to stop at a low speed turn.

engine vibration

Relatively low

Test method: After the water temperature is normal, turn off the air conditioner. In the idle state, the vibration acceleration of the engine is measured by touching the probe to the highest position in the middle of the metal body of the engine with a vibrometer perpendicular to the crankshaft direction. The lower the value, the smaller the vibration.

This Asian Dragon is equipped with a 2.0L self-priming four-cylinder engine, with an idle vibration value of 2. 1 m/s? , is a relatively low-level category.

engine noise

Sound insulation is average

Test method: the engine is completely warmed up, the water temperature is normal, the air conditioner is turned off, and the test is carried out at normal idle speed; Open the hood, remove the hood, collect the noise 20 cm above the engine body, and take the average value as the engine noise value (DBA) outside the vehicle; In the car, close the window, idle the engine for 2000 rpm, put the noise meter directly above the steering wheel, and take the average value, which is the dBa value of the engine in the car. And comprehensively calculate the weight of 30% inside the car and 70% outside the car.

The idling noise outside the car of this 2.0L self-priming four-cylinder engine reaches 7 1.3dBa, which is almost the same as that of other Toyota cars, and the running noise inside the car is 5 1.2dBa at 2000 rpm, indicating that the sound insulation and noise reduction level of this car is average.

Low beam illumination

ordinary

Test method: Take the front end of the lamp as the base point, 2 meters away from the vertical wall, test the normal working condition of the engine, and use the photometer to get the maximum value in the illumination range of the low beam lamp.

The headlights of this car are LED light sources, and the maximum illumination is 4540 lux, which is relatively general.

The paint color is not good.

very good

Test method: Take the reference value in the center of the hood with a color difference meter. Compare and measure other positions of the car body, and record the position with the largest value. No less than 65,438+000 body test sampling points.

After testing, the maximum color difference value is located at the front bumper, and the color difference value is 0.75 Δ e, which is darker than the reference point. From the numerical point of view, the painting process quality of Asian dragon is well controlled.

abstract

Close to Lexus, unlike Camry.

Although it looks the same as Camry, in fact, the driving style of Asian dragon is more comfortable and steady, and it is not as sporty as Camry. The positioning of Asian Dragon is biased towards commercial vehiclES, and its driving experience is more like that of lexus es.

What is the internal quality of this Toyota Asian Dragon? What's the connection with Camry and ES? Please continue to pay attention to the follow-up content of automobile disassembly.
