Is the A25D engine imported or domestically produced?

Toyota A25A engine is Toyota's TANG 2.5 engine, which is originally imported from Japan. Among Toyota's models, the Camry 2.5L uses the A25A engine, with a maximum power of 154KW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 209. For daily maintenance of the Toyota A25A engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving for over a decade. The A25D engine is a classic model from Toyota's Dynamic Force series. In the Chinese market, it's mostly domestically produced. After Toyota's joint venture with FAW Toyota, these engines have been locally manufactured at the Tianjin plant, which reduces costs and is more environmentally friendly. I've seen many car enthusiasts using domestically produced A25D engines in their RAV4 or Camry models, which offer stable performance, ample power, and low fuel consumption. Of course, imported versions exist but are rare, as localized production saves tariffs and enhances competitiveness. When choosing a car, you can tell by the engine label that most are domestically produced, and maintenance is convenient since the parts supply chain is localized, keeping repair costs low. Overall, localization is a trend that doesn't compromise quality.
