2 Answers
2021 Camry uses a domestically produced engine. Introduction to the 2021 Camry is as follows: 1. Exterior: The new car features an enlarged front grille size connected to the air vents on both sides, giving the overall appearance a more three-dimensional feel. The side profile showcases sharp and smooth waistline design, with well-proportioned lines that create a distinct sense of layering under lighting effects. The rear design is relatively simple, with arrow-shaped taillights facing each other. 2. Interior: The 2021 Camry is equipped with a new-generation infotainment system, including intelligent voice interaction, in-car WeChat, Gaode Maps, and Baidu CarLife. The system supports OTA online upgrades and comes with 3 years of free unlimited internet data. 3. Configuration: The Camry also features the new-generation Toyota Safety Sense system, including AHB adaptive headlights, DRCC adaptive cruise control, LTA lane tracing assist, PCS pre-collision safety system, as well as seven airbags, tire pressure display, front radar, hill start assist, and other safety equipment, providing more safety for passengers. 4. Powertrain: There are three different powertrain options available: 2.0L, 2.5L, and 2.5L hybrid. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 131kW, paired with a CVT transmission (simulating 10 gears); the 2.5L engine has a maximum power of 154kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission; the 2.5L hybrid model has an engine maximum power of 131kW, with a combined fuel consumption of 4.1L/100km, paired with an E-CVT transmission.
To be honest, as an enthusiast who's a bit obsessed with automotive technology, I find the engine situation of the 2021 Camry quite interesting. The Camry follows global standardized production, and for the Chinese market, most are produced by the GAC-Toyota joint venture, including engines that are typically domestically manufactured, such as the 2.0L and 2.5L models. They're not fully imported; some components might come from Japan, but overall assembly is completed in local factories. This can actually be verified through the VIN. Localization tends to enhance reliability and maintenance convenience, especially under Chinese driving conditions. I've noticed similar practices with other models like the Corolla, which helps control costs. In summary, the 2021 model doesn't feature purely imported engines unless you're buying a particularly high-performance version. I recommend checking the detailed specifications for origin before purchasing to avoid surprises.
