FAW Toyota has only three main production bases, located in Sichuan, Changchun, and Tianjin. Below is a detailed introduction about FAW Toyota: 1. Overview: FAW Toyota's main products include the "Vios" (VIOS), "Corolla" (COROLLA), "Allion" (ALLION), "Avalon" (AVALON) sedans, and the "IZOA" (IZOA), "RAV4" (RAV4), "Crown Kluger" (CROWNKLUGER) SUVs, as well as the "Coaster" (COASTER) bus. 2. Others: The FAW Toyota RAV4 comes in two engine displacements, 2.0L and 2.4L, both equipped with Toyota's VVT-i technology. The maximum power outputs are 110kW and 125kW, respectively.
I once visited Changchun in Jilin Province, which is the main production base of FAW. The entire Changchun Automobile Industry Development Zone is a factory area, and the scale is astonishing. As China's first automobile factory, FAW's headquarters is located there, producing various models such as the luxury Hongqi cars and Audi series under FAW-Volkswagen. In addition to Changchun, they also have a large base in Tianjin, mainly producing FAW Toyota's Corolla, and a branch factory in Qingdao for other brands. The choice of these locations is quite smart, being close to ports and markets, which facilitates the import of parts and the shipment of finished vehicles. I experienced the tour route at the Changchun factory, and the entire city's economy revolves around automobiles. It feels like this industrial layout has promoted regional development, and it's quite worth visiting to understand the real automobile manufacturing process.
