Is the Camry from FAW Toyota or GAC Toyota?
2 Answers
Camry is a car under GAC Toyota, which is a mid-size sedan. The Camry is equipped with three engines in total, one is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other two are 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engines. One model with the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine is a hybrid version, and another model with the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine is a pure gasoline version. The maximum power of the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is 131 kW, and the maximum torque is 210 Nm; the pure gasoline version equipped with the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 154 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
As a veteran driver with nearly a decade of experience, I often get asked this question. The Camry is indeed the flagship model of GAC Toyota, so don't confuse it with FAW Toyota. When Toyota first entered China, it partnered with two companies - GAC focuses on sedans like the Camry, while FAW handles other models such as the Corolla. The Camry enjoys an excellent reputation among Chinese consumers for being fuel-efficient, durable, and stylish, which explains its popularity on the roads. Some people might get confused because they only hear 'Toyota' and don't pay attention, but a quick look at the dealership logos makes it clear - GAC's branding is distinctly different. My advice to new car buyers: go straight to a GAC Toyota dealership for a test drive to experience the comfortable chassis firsthand, and avoid going to the wrong place to prevent after-sales hassles. In short, the Camry belongs to GAC Toyota, and their service is quite reliable - my car has never needed major repairs.
