crown decline, smart Toyota (FAW Toyota) which will sooner or later discontinued. Crown withdrew Toyota in the domestic high-end market will definitely be blank, so the need for a high-end Toyota’s hot-selling models and can make up for this gap in the market, and much of the development of several generations of Avalon (Avalon) in the United States is the only option . Whole new generation of Asian Dragon will bring everyone’s expectations into the country, officially listed in the highly acclaimed “Halo.” But actual sales feedback does not meet everyone’s expectations, far less than the lower positioning Camry.
Avalon Camry than good?
We all know that the Avalon and Camry is a product of the same platform, but higher Avalon positioning, larger whole area, which is mainly reflected in length and wheelbase, so the Asian dragon body stronger sense of flow lines, passenger space and more margin.
Asian dragon more efforts noise level in the vehicle, such as rear-view mirror in order to reduce the noise caused by high speeds, Asian dragon specially designed shunt lattice design.
Asian dragon’s back business atmosphere more dense, with models support heated rear seats and electrically adjustable seat back adjustment co-pilot seat, “boss key”, 220V power socket feet.
Asian dragon 2.5L Fuel edition model comes standard with variable suspension, but the starting price is lower than the Camry 2.5L fuel version of the model.
that Avalon Why not sell?
Asian dragon design of the front face of arguably the most radical of the Toyota car, in addition to the eye (lights) of outside the mouth is full, its “big mouth” design than the Audi A8 is also an exaggeration. And the most handsome Sport Kit and great sense of fishbone-shaped daytime running lights are not synchronized introduction, which many fans feel more disappointed.
Interior design is polarized, from the design point of view Avalon undoubtedly more design sense, layering is also stronger. But the one-piece upright center console design does not meet the aesthetic part of the people, even many people Tucao design the shape of the tombstone, and customs pay attention to Geely just the opposite.
Although Avalon and Camry are the same platform, the same set of powertrain siblings, but both driving style is different (only for the Asian dragon hybrid version models). Avalon driving style more calm, Camry flexibility better, so for different age groups on the drive level, more in line with Asian dragon age greater consumer preferences, while the Camry can do it “takes” two age group.
According to some friends and the media reflect, Avalon no discount (of course Camry did not), and even increase the rumors. And Avalon low allocation models were no cars, hybrid version of the car models need to wait 3-4 months. There is also a saying, Avalon’s annual production of less than 100,000, only a few thousand large vehicles on average per month.
Although time is not long Avalon market, sales volume is not very high, but the case has a lot of complaints. Where the problem was mostly complaints work is not ideal, there is a gap uneven, also showed signs of abnormal noise within the cabin. On process issues, twelve behalf of the Crown because of unsatisfactory process, dashboard cracks appeared when entering the country, did not expect more than a decade after the Asian dragon craft also been criticized.
Written in the last:
in conjunction with the above reasons, Avalon sold, but the Camry’s for sure, but this does not represent Asia Long high-end line failed. Mainly because of the identity of Avalon Camry is not a competitor, but to make up for the higher end of its former crown market position. So Avalon sedan as a B + grade, can pull such a large gap between the Taurus and the LaCrosse and other models, the average monthly sales of 6,000 already is a abundance of successful models. In addition, Avalon 2.0L Fuel edition models already on the market, will further lower the threshold to 200,000, if in the future be able to guarantee productionSufficient quantity, can no longer believe in a terminal turnover increased height.
