Asian dragon sky is bigger than Camry.
Although both the Asian Dragon and the Camry are based on the Toyota TNGA architecture, as can be seen from the comparison table below, the Asian Dragon is bigger than the Camry, with a wheelbase of 45mm longer and better seats in the back row. The size difference between the two cars is so great that it is very rare in the strategic models of the two cars of major brands.
Most of the models of the two-car strategy are just different in appearance, and the interior, vacancy and power are exactly the same. This is because the main purpose of the two-car strategy is to meet the needs of consumers in the south and the north. Here, let's expand it a little and explain it in detail.
Due to the restriction of national policies, foreign-funded enterprises must set up joint ventures with Chinese enterprises and southern enterprises in their early years in China, and the factories should be built in the south, otherwise they should be built in the north. If factories are only built in the south or north, new cars will have to be shipped to the north or south. In the early years, China's roads were underdeveloped, which was obviously not cost-effective, so it was the best way to build factories in the north and south.
But the joint venture between Toyota and FAW is FAW Toyota, and the joint venture between GAC and GAC Toyota is GAC Toyota. At the very least, the names and designs of different models produced by the company are inconsistent, because these are patents. Moreover, most joint ventures have a great voice in China, and it is difficult to share patents, thus giving birth to the two-car strategy. Volkswagen is the first company to adopt the two-car strategy.
Due to China's strong infrastructure capacity, the expressway has formed network coverage in just a few decades. It is much more convenient to transport South Locomotive to the north or North Locomotive to the south now. Therefore, it is not necessary for some car companies entering China in the middle and late period to build North-South factories.
Therefore, the introduction of Asian Dragon is not to form a two-car strategy with Camry. The role of Asian dragon is to supplement Camry.
Kerry, the young Asian dragon is stable.
There is a lot of data showing that people who buy cars now are much younger than before. More precisely, the post-90s generation of Z is the main force of car purchase at present. In addition, with the upgrading of consumption, China automobile market has shifted from A-class cars to B-class cars. Although people who get the B-class car market can't say that the world is so exaggerated, their lives will certainly be very moist.
Under this premise, in the past two or three years, the products in various vehicle markets are changing to the younger generation. On 20 18, Camry, Accord and Teana successively completed the transformation, giving up the title of commercial vehicle in the past, and even the German B-class car, which has always been calm, had to compromise with this mainstream.
A large number of B-class cars are becoming more and more sporty and younger. At a certain age, users will suddenly lose many choices, especially Camry, which has accumulated a large number of loyal users in the past. The real reason for Toyota to launch the Asian Dragon is to make up for Toyota's lack of demand for commercial B-class cars after Camry's revival. Therefore, Asian Dragon is not only superior to Camry in air, but also has the appearance of a commercial vehicle.
A thousand words converge into one sentence: Camry locates young family cars, and Asia Dragon locates commercial cars. Which is better, Asian Dragon or Camry? It depends on the actual usage scenario of the user.
Camry's space is not bad If you don't need business use at all, you'd better choose Camry, because the Asian dragon is too long and a bit cumbersome to drive. And if you have both business needs and home needs, then you must choose Asian Dragon!
