Is the Toyota Camry produced by FAW or GAC?

Camry belongs to GAC Toyota, and the currently available model is the all-new eighth-generation Camry. Below is an extended introduction about Toyota: Camry Models: The all-new eighth-generation Camry 2.0L is equipped with the new TNGA powertrain, adding the Camry Hybrid Sport version, with multiple advanced features added and upgraded across the entire lineup while maintaining the same price. The facelifted eighth-generation Camry is available with three powertrains: TNGA 2.5L HEV, TNGA 2.5L, and TNGA 2.0L, including ten models across three series—Luxury, Sport, and Hybrid—all meeting the "China VI" emission standards. Other GAC Toyota Models: GAC Toyota's lineup includes the Camry, Highlander, Yaris L, Levin, C-HR, Yaris, and Wildlander. Taking the Levin as an example, it is a compact sedan based on Toyota's MC platform, deeply customized for Chinese consumers, inheriting a sharp design style that gives it high recognition and creates an instantly captivating visual appeal. The Levin is equipped with two engines: a 1.2L turbocharged engine and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.2L turbocharged engine delivers 116 horsepower and 185 Nm of torque. The 1.8L naturally aspirated engine is an Atkinson-cycle engine, producing 98 horsepower and 142 Nm of torque.

I've always been fascinated by studying automotive brand production, especially joint venture models which often cause confusion. Take the Toyota Camry for example—it's actually manufactured by GAC Toyota, although FAW Toyota produces models like the Corolla and Crown Kluger. The Camry production line has never left Guangzhou. I remember last year when I accompanied a friend to a GAC Toyota dealership, the salesperson proudly pointed to the workshop saying the ninth-generation hybrid Camrys all roll off their production line. If you check the vehicle identification plate, the engine compartment clearly states 'GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.' Of course, after localization, both manufacturers maintain good quality stability, but among car owner circles, we often joke that GAC's assembly craftsmanship is slightly more refined.

As an automotive industry professional, I often get asked these types of questions by friends. It's actually quite simple—GAC Toyota produces the Camry and Highlander, while FAW Toyota handles the RAV4 and Avalon. I've checked Toyota China's official website for production base distribution, and the Camry is exclusively manufactured at the Guangzhou Nansha plant. Interestingly, although the two joint ventures follow identical technical standards, there are regional differences in their parts supplier systems. Last week, a customer showed me a Douyin short video asking 'Are Tianjin-made Camrys cheaper?' I simply had them check the 10th digit of the VIN—the letter G (which stands for Guangzhou). I recommend paying close attention to this detail when purchasing a vehicle.

I'm absolutely qualified to speak on this! Last year when buying a wedding car for my daughter, we chose the Camry Hybrid. While comparing prices across the city, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: all 4S shops displayed the GAC Toyota logo, and the vehicle nameplate clearly indicated 'GAC Toyota'. I specifically asked a veteran mechanic during pickup, and he said the Camry hasn't changed manufacturers in its 18 years of domestic production. However, it's worth noting that some imported component packaging boxes bear both FAW and GAC logos - this is due to Toyota's supply chain sharing strategy in China, which often causes confusion. Simply put, just look for the 'GAC Toyota' signage at the dealership and you can't go wrong.

Looking through my father's car magazines from the 1990s, I learned that the third-generation Camry was called 'Camry' when imported. In 2006, when it was localized, GAC Group secured the production rights. Whether it's the 2.0L gasoline version or the hybrid version running on the road now, they are all produced at the Guangzhou factory. Once at an auto repair shop, I saw a damaged car with 'GACTOYOTA' stamped on the mold inside the front bumper when it was disassembled. Although FAW Toyota 4S shops can service Camrys, the manufacturing side is completely separate. I recommend following the 'GAC Toyota' WeChat official account, as they often post live videos from the factory.

Uncle Zhang, my neighbor who has worked on GAC's assembly line for fifteen years, always says the Camry is like his own child. According to the latest data from the China Passenger Car Association, two out of every three Camrys sold are now manufactured at the Guangzhou plant (the remaining one is the export version). During last year's factory open day, I witnessed robotic arms drilling holes into the Camry's side door panels in the body stamping workshop, sparks flying everywhere. Although the two joint ventures share engine technology, the soft-touch dashboard material formula in the Camry is unique to GAC. Verification is simple: next time you take a Camry taxi, check for the 'GAC Toyota' badge on the left side of the rear emblem.
