What is the Camry?
2 Answers
Toyota Camry is produced by GAC Toyota and positioned as a B-segment sedan. Where there's a road, there's a Toyota that can't stop. The Camry is a global model under the Toyota brand, commonly known as 'Camry' in China. Its market positioning is as a mid-to-high-end sedan. Introduced by GAC Toyota in 2006, it forms the 'Japanese Big Three' of mid-to-high-end sedans alongside the Honda Accord and Nissan Teana, with fierce competition among them. The latest Camry model was launched in November 2017, with a price range of 180,000 to 280,000 RMB.
The Toyota Camry is an incredibly popular mid-size sedan. I've personally been driving it to commute for several years and simply can't get enough of it. The body size is just right—parking in the city isn't too difficult, yet it's rock-solid on the highway. The seats are soft and won't leave your back aching. In terms of fuel efficiency, it's genuinely economical. My gasoline version averages 6-7 liters per 100 km, and a friend with the hybrid version says it's even more impressive at around 5 liters. As Toyota's flagship model, it sells like hotcakes globally, with off-the-charts reliability—I've never encountered any major issues. On long trips, the spacious interior comfortably seats three in the back, and the trunk has more than enough room for luggage. Maintenance costs are low, just a few hundred bucks a year, making it hassle-free. I'd recommend it to beginners or office workers—it's absolutely worth every penny, and once you get used to that silky-smooth driving feel, you'll be hooked.
