On the first day of 2024, I didn't expect GAC Toyota to send a big surprise for the New Year, which Nian Han never expected, that is, the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV hybrid version and 2The 0L fuel version is officially available for pre-order and pre-order. Among them, the pre-sale of the fuel version** is 17380,000 up, while the hybrid version is slightly higher, 18The starting price is 180,000 yuan.
Speaking of which, there may be many riders who will be frightened by this **, but those who know a little about Camry should know that its positioning itself is very high and well-known in the car industry, otherwise how could it be iteratively upgraded to the ninth generation? It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a well-honed premium driver's seat.
In addition, the ninth-generation Camry has achieved the "Ten Major Upgrades", which has raised all aspects of the product to a new height on the basis of the previous one. And this frenzied wave brought about by the upgrade of fuel vehicles has given Camry unprecedented new impetus when challenging the old pattern of the mid-to-high-end sedan market.
So here comes the question, the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV compared to the eighth-generation Camry 20L fuel version, what aspects have been upgraded, and what are the highlights and advantages? You may wish to listen to Han's eloquent words, and ensure that you can understand them at a glance.
According to the old rules, let's start with the exterior design. In terms of exterior design, the ninth-generation Camry still continues the consistent style of the Toyota family, emphasizing the beauty of the combination of fashion and technology, such as the signature fully fixed panoramic canopy with hot-stamping materials, showing a unique visual impact.
However, compared to the eighth-generation Camry 20L fuel version, ninth-generation Camry 2The appearance of 0HEV has changed significantly, it is more atmospheric and more refined in design, the body lines are more smooth and good-looking, and the overall shape is more in line with the aesthetics of modern young consumers.
Of course, the eighth-generation Camry 2Although the 0L fuel version is also very good-looking, it is both handsome and luxurious, but it is obviously inferior to the ninth-generation Camry 2 in the addition of youthful elements0hev, this is an objective fact, and Nian Han won't say much.
As for the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV's ability in terms of space, although the official website has not officially announced the relevant parameters, Nian Han believes that GAC Toyota will never disappoint everyone, and there is reason to believe that the ninth-generation Camry 2The 0HEV is fully capable of providing enough interior space and a comfortable riding environment, and it will definitely not be weaker than the eighth generation, but will only be stronger.
However, it is worth mentioning that the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV can indeed be described as "reborn" in the interior configuration. For example, the centre console features a hidden electrostatic touch panel designed to provide a simple and modern driving environment.
There is also the central control screen upgraded to 123 inches, it looks more luxurious and advanced, and the interface control is more comfortable and convenient.
In addition, GAC Toyota is also equipped with 64-color ** rhythm atmosphere lights for the first time on this car, adding more fun to driving, just ask you if you can stand it?
The interior configuration is so powerful, so the intelligent technology will naturally not be inferior to the outdated. The ninth-generation Camry 20HEV's operating system has undergone a major upgrade, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "big change". It uses the new 8155 chip, and the operating memory and storage memory have been increased to 12GB and 128GB respectively, which can be said to be quite a high configuration in the same class of models.
The in-car machine has four times more computing power than the previous generation, eight times faster start-up, and 40% performance redundancy, which means that its OTA upgrades will be smoother. The in-vehicle infotainment system includes CarPlay, CarLife, HiCar and other mobile phone interconnection systems, so that passengers can enjoy a high-quality entertainment experience.
The next thing to talk about is performance, which really surprised Nian Han! The ninth-generation Camry 2The combined power of the 0HEV has been increased by 6% compared to the previous generation model (C-HR HEV) to 145kW, which is far higher than the 2 in the same class0l and 25L model.
However, even more powerful is the ninth-generation Camry 2The acceleration time of 0HEV to 100 kilometers is less than 8 seconds, which is a "performance beast" among all hybrid models of the same level, which is not inferior to the gasoline version of the model, including the same class of cars with larger displacement.
In addition to being powerful, the ninth-generation Camry 2The fuel consumption performance of 0HEV is quite good, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 42L, which is much lower than the average for models in its class. Compared to the eighth-generation Camry 2The 5-liter fuel version, as well as the turbocharged model in the same class, has a fuel consumption reduction of more than 32% and 30%, which shows its energy-saving and fuel-saving characteristics to a large extent.
Since the model of the same class is mentioned, the ninth-generation Camry 2There are many competitors of 0HEV, such as Honda Accord, Nissan Teana, Volkswagen Passat and Magotan.
Then the ninth-generation Camry 2What are the advantages of the 0HEV compared to the above competing models in the same class?
OK, let's be in a hurry first, listen to Nian Han and analyze it slowly, and talk about it one by one!
Let's start with the Honda Accord, with 1The 5T model is an example. It is undeniable that the design style of the Accord is indeed eye-catching, reflecting Honda's "human-oriented" design concept everywhere, and the styling design and interior are more sporty, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye and unfinished after reading.
Despite the Accord's good value for money, it can't compete with the ninth-generation Camry 2 when it comes to power and fuel economy0HEV to compete. Because of the ninth-generation Camry 2The 0HEV not only enjoys a fully upgraded driving texture and driving pleasure, but also has better fuel economy with its hybrid drive, which is very suitable for home use, especially for those consumers who are more sensitive to economy and practicality, the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV is obviously more fuel-efficient and cost-effective than Accord.
The next thing to talk about is the Teana, and we all know that the Teana is a hot-selling model of Nissan, which has always won with its high quality and comfort, and the comfortable driving experience brought by the stable suspension system is very competitive in the same class of cars.
But compared to the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV, whether in terms of power performance or intelligent configuration, is slightly insufficient, and it is still a little bit interesting. Especially in terms of fuel economy and environmental performance, the performance of Teana is indeed very average. And the ninth-generation Camry 2The excellent environmental performance and comfort of 0HEV undoubtedly provide consumers with more choices.
Finally, there are the two big signature Passat and Magotan of Volkswagen, with 2The 0T model, for example, has won the favor of many consumers with its consistent steady style and pragmatism.
However, in terms of high-quality humanized design, leading intelligent technology configuration, excellent gasoline-electric hybrid system, and excellent fuel economy, the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV is undoubtedly more advantageous. Relative to the Passat and Magotan, the Camry 2The 0HEV's high-quality interior and user-friendly configuration, as well as a powerful hybrid system, make it one of the best in its class.
If you put them all together for comparison, Nian Han thinks that the ninth-generation Camry 2The 0HEV surpasses the Accord, Teana, Passat and Magotan in many ways. Camry 2The excellent performance of 0HEV has obvious advantages in terms of fuel economy, driving quality and driving pleasure, as well as comfort and luxury.
Not much else to say, the ninth-generation Camry 20HEV is actually a strategic product of GAC Toyota's "increase in volume without price increase". The "Top 10 Upgrades" are no joke, and all of this is telling us to these consumers, the ninth-generation Camry 2The 0HEV is unique in its class and deserves the title of "the strongest flagship sedan in history".
