AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/27 Report--

Speaking of Toyota Asian Dragon, I believe you are all too familiar with it. A medium-sized car between the Camry and the Crown. Asian Dragon has been on the market as early as this year, but there is only a 2.5L version of the model, while the 2.0L version has not been available for a long time. After a few months, today (September 27), FAW Toyota Asia Dragon 2.0L finally officially launched, the new car launched a total of 4 configuration models, the price range is 19.98-239800 yuan.

In terms of appearance, the listed Asian Dragon 2.0L model is basically the same as the model on sale, with big mouth intake grille and segmented waistline, basically unchanged. Only in the rear, the new car cancels the sports tail compared to the 2.5L fuel version. In addition, the new car is equipped with a full LED headlight set.

In terms of size, the new car is also consistent, with a length, width and height of 4975/1850/1450mm and a wheelbase of 2870mm, which is located in a leapfrog medium-sized car. At the same time, the new car will also be equipped with 17-inch and 18-inch rims with tire sizes of 215 prime 55 R17 and 235 ram 45 R18, respectively.

In terms of interior decoration, its design is also consistent with the current model, with keyless entry / start, tire pressure display, Toyota TSS safety system and 9-inch central control screen and other configurations.

The main feature of the new car is power, with a 2.0L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine code-named M20D, with a maximum power of 178 horsepower and a peak torque of 210 Nm. In terms of transmission, the new car matches the CVT gearbox. Although the 2.0L engine is optimized and has more horsepower, it still feels like a pony pulling a bigger car.

In fact, the 2.0L model is an additional model. At present, the average monthly sales of 2.5L is about 5000-6000. due to the high positioning of the model, it is difficult to become a volume product. Therefore, it is hoped that the launch of 2.0L gasoline model will further promote sales growth while lowering the price.

Although the Asian dragon has a feeling of replacing the crown, because the new crown has not been introduced, and the old crown has been discontinued. However, its positioning is still a medium-sized car, and many netizens have expressed insincerity in terms of price, even if the minimum configuration falls to about 220000, which is only 20, 000 more than that of the Camry and has more space.

But in any case, in the case of only 2.5L models, the Asian Dragon has achieved good results, so the launch of the lower price 2.0L version is only for the main performance-to-price ratio, and only time will tell.
