AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/25 Report--

According to foreign media reports, a new generation of Camry will be released in 2024. The new car will be built on TNGA-K platform and draw lessons from the design style of the 16th generation Toyota Crown. The personality and sporty temperament will be improved. It is reported that the new generation Camry will be released and listed in 2024, and will continue to be sold domestically by GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota.

Before this, foreign media drew the imaginary map of the new generation Camry. Due to the design style of the 16th generation crown, the overall design details of the new car are very similar to Crown SPORTS. Compared with the current model, the new generation Camry is more sporty, younger in appearance, large size blackened front grille, with exaggerated air inlets on both sides to make it look fierce enough, while the front enclosure area adopts a large size three-stage layout,"blade" decoration in the guide grooves on the left and right sides and obvious raised ridge lines on the hood, showing strong visual impact and sporty temperament.

On the side of the car body, the new generation Camry has made certain adjustments, the overall line is smoother, with large size wheels and black side skirts under the door, creating muscle feeling and aura. At the rear, the new Camry is expected to adopt the popular through-tail lights, and there is a duckling tail design above the trunk lid, with a large black surround on the upper and lower sides.

Before this, foreign media have drawn the new Camry with Crown SportCross style, so for the appearance of the new car, we can only speculate that it will learn from the design style of the new generation crown, but how to design it depends on the performance of Toyota designers.

In terms of power, it is reported that the new generation Toyota Camry is expected to provide 2.5L hybrid power, 2.4T hybrid power and a plug-in hybrid system overseas. In the domestic market, because consumers still have high demand for fuel vehicles, in addition to hybrid models, the domestic version is likely to provide pure fuel power for consumers to choose from. The current model is equipped with 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. It is expected that the new generation Camry is expected to be upgraded to 2.0T turbocharged engine, or two different power versions according to high and low configuration.

Camry is a classic Toyota model, born in 1982, after eight updates. In 1982, Toyota introduced the Camry, a front-wheel-drive model, to replace the sixth-generation Toyota Corona and mark the official independence of the Camry. Since then, Camry has basically maintained a five-year replacement rhythm, until the launch of the fifth generation model in 2002.

On September 1, 2004, GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was formally established, jointly funded by GAC Group and Toyota Motor Company at a ratio of 50:50, with a cooperation period of 30 years and a registered capital of 1.692 billion yuan. On May 23,2006, the sixth generation Camry was rolled off the production base of GAC Toyota Nansha, becoming the first mass production model of GAC Toyota. On December 8,2011, the seventh generation Camry was launched and listed in China, with two power options of 2.0L and 2.5L, and the price range was 1798 - 274,800 yuan. On November 16,2017, GAC Toyota brand-new Camry was officially launched. There are 3 power configurations for 9 models of the whole series, and the price range is 179,800 - 279,800 yuan. On February 25,2021, the new Camry was officially launched, with 10 new models launched, with official guidance prices of 179,800 - 269,800 yuan. As a mid-term variant, the new Camry has a sporty and stylish overall look, with two exterior styles and three powertrains.

As a Toyota midsize car, its sales in the Chinese market are relatively bright. Take sales in 2022 as an example, Camry overtook Honda Accord with 242225 sales, becoming the top mid-size car sales, with the latter selling 220771 units for the whole year, followed by Passat with 163532 units.

It is worth mentioning that the new generation Accord has just been declared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The new car is the eleventh generation model of Accord, which is expected to be mass-produced and launched in 2023. However, although it is a new generation of models, but the Accord changes are not satisfactory, the appearance and interior design basically according to Civic, CR-V design style, and the core powertrain is basically consistent with the current model. In addition, in recent years, Mondeo, Red Flag H5 and other models have been upgraded, and in addition to Accord, LaCrosse, Sonata is expected to soon launch replacement models, when the competition in the mid-size car market will be more intense.
