No, at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show not long ago (November), GAC Toyota released the actual car of the new (ninth-generation) Camry. However, the new car was only its first appearance at that time, so the price was actually unknown to the outside world. Very little is known.
However, with the arrival of 2024, GAC Toyota brought us a surprise on the first day of the new year (January 1, 2024), and this surprise is the pre-sale price of the new generation Camry model. Why is the pre-sale price of the ninth-generation Camry said to be a "surprise"? Because we can see from this price that today's Toyota is finally close to the people, which also indirectly reflects that Toyota has begun to give back to Chinese users.
Specifically, the pre-sale price range of the new ninth-generation Camry, and a total of 7 configuration models of the new car have been launched. How about it? After seeing this pre-sale price, do you think Toyota is more accessible to the people?
Ninth generation Camry
The eighth generation Camry
Of course, what you need to know is that the new Camry for pre-sale this time is only available in two power modes : 2.0L fuel and 2.0L dual engine . In other words, the 2.5L gasoline power and 2.5L hybrid power installed on the current eighth-generation Camry model that has not yet been discontinued may not appear on the ninth-generation model , so if you like the 2.5L version Camry, then maybe you should buy it as soon as possible in the next few months. After all, the new ninth-generation Camry will be officially launched in March 2024 , and by then, the eighth-generation Camry will probably be discontinued, so everyone should pay attention to this.
Let’s talk to you about the product strength of the new ninth-generation Toyota Camry model.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the new car still follows the overall design idea of the eighth-generation model. The only difference is the layered X-shaped design on the front face, the more sporty muscle lines on the side of the car, and the simple taillight group shape. .
From a design point of view, the general styles of the three different versions of Camry are actually similar, so I think you can choose which one is better based on your own subjective preferences.
There are quite a few changes in the interior. The first is that the intelligent car system has been upgraded, using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip with stronger computing power. At the same time, natural voice interaction and language processing are more accurate , and new functions such as 3D intelligent facial recognition and voice control for switching in-car fragrances have been added . These are also "new things" Toyota has done in terms of intelligence. homework".
The second is that the functional configuration has been significantly improved . For example, the first-ever AR stylized HUD head-up display, the first-ever panoramic canopy with a beam design, 64-color digital wing music atmosphere lights, a larger central control LCD screen, a full LCD instrument panel, and the Toyota Safety Sense that is standard on all series 3.0 Zhixing Security Suite and more.
So, don’t think that Toyota is cutting costs by lowering the pre-sale price of the ninth-generation Camry. In fact, the manufacturer has made up for its own “shortcomings” in many aspects. Therefore, facing such a new generation of Camry, do you think Are you excited?
As for power, judging from the official pre-sale price of the ninth-generation Camry model, it seems that the new car will only be available in 2.0L fuel and 2.0L dual-engine versions, while the previous 2.5L fuel version will be cancelled. . From the parameter point of view, the 2.0L fuel version has the same power as the current model on sale, while the newly added 2.0L dual-engine version is a new model that appears on the Camry for the first time, with a comprehensive power of 145kW and a fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km. Data The performance is quite good, and it is expected to bring a better driving experience to users.
Speaking of driving experience, there is one more thing to mention here. According to official reports, the new ninth-generation Camry has made many optimizations in terms of control, vibration filtering, and sound insulation . For example , in terms of handling , the new car uses a rear double-wishbone independent suspension . The suspension is more supportive than the eighth-generation model, and has increased by 6% or 20% depending on the model . In addition, the ninth-generation Camry also uses the swing valve shock absorber from the Lexus LM to better improve body stability.
For another example , in terms of , GAC Toyota officials also stated that the ninth-generation Camry has added a total of 13 pieces of sound-absorbing cotton in the middle of the center console and the main and passenger side guards. At the same time, the door trim has been replaced with better sound-absorbing silencers. Materials , the rear door glass is sound-insulating glass with a 0.76 mm sound-insulating layer . Therefore, in some unseen places, the new Camry is quite well prepared, and we are beginning to look forward to how the new car will actually perform when driven.
Written at the end: All in all, the sales volume of the Toyota Camry series has always been very good. In the past 2023, it may even win the "annual sales championship" in the mid-size car market. So looking at it this way, we There is every reason to believe that the ninth-generation model will continue to sell well.
From the perspective of product strength, the appearance, interior, and configuration of the new Camry have been greatly improved, and the power options are also relatively rich, so there should still be many people who like it and are willing to buy it. In terms of reputation, the Camry has now reached its ninth generation, and the feedback from car owners has always been good. Therefore, relying on this good accumulation, as long as the new car can still surprise in terms of official price, it will be able to achieve great success. For sale, we might as well wait and see.
