The car I am talking about today is Toyota Asia Dragon . Asia Dragon is the flagship model of Toyota in the US market. The first generation of Asia Dragon was launched in 1994. It was the largest sedan model under Toyota at that time, and was called the replacement version of " Lexus "! In 2019, FAW Toyota was introduced into the Chinese market, and its new car was "a hit" and became the sales champion of B+ sedans in the domestic sedan market, and its strength was completely better than Buick LaCrosse , Ford Taurus and other models. Why do some people love Toyota Asian Dragon? It turns out to be Lexus ES substitute!
Many people are paying attention to the internal materials of this Toyota Asian Dragon. What is the difference between it and the Lexus ES! The two cars are both GA-K platform under the Toyota TNGA architecture, and in terms of powertrain, they highly share the power system with Lexus ES. The body structure of Toyota Asia Dragon and Lexus ES is almost exactly the same. Note that it is the "body" and also the door. The difference is the "skin" and there is a difference. The power and transmission, suspension system, electrical assembly, and safety control system are almost exactly the same. The biggest difference is the interior, the precision and material grade, which are quite different. At Toyota's Kentucky factory in North America, these two cars are also completely collinearly produced. So, it is very normal to see that there are many similar designs and craftsmanship. The Toyota Asia Dragon is nearly 5 meters long and has a wheelbase of 2.87 meters. I thought I was buying a large Camry, but I didn’t expect it to be a “Lexus”! Lexus ES has a reputation in the market that is not inferior to BBA. It has a better interpretation of luxury, and of course it is also expensive, so many people turn their attention to Toyota Asian Dragon. I don’t care much about these things. Luxury brands sell at premium prices. This must be recognized. Every little bit of detailed craftsmanship is a cost!
Toyota Asia Dragon's cumulative sales reached 117,188 units last year, accounting for 1.17% of the domestic sedan market, ranking 30th in the comprehensive, accounting for 4.84% of the mid-sized car market, ranking 9th in the single item; the cumulative sales from January to September this year were 84,941 units, accounting for 1.16% of the domestic sedan market, ranking 27th in the comprehensive, accounting for 4.77% of the mid-sized car market, ranking 9th in the single item; among which the sales in September were 9,694 units, accounting for 1.02% of the domestic sedan market, ranking 32nd in the comprehensive, accounting for 4.33% of the mid-sized car market, ranking 8th in the single item, ranking firmly at the top of the sales list!
Although Toyota Asia Dragon has the quality of luxury cars, it is quite affordable in terms of price! The 2022 dual-engine 2.5L Limited flagship version of Toyota Asia Dragon is equipped with a 2.5L hybrid system as the top-end model. The guide price of the new car is 279,800 yuan, and it is only sold for 248,800 yuan after the comprehensive discount. The lowest-end 2022 2.0L enterprising version of Asia Dragon is equipped with an entry-end model, equipped with a 2.0L+CVT power system. The guide price of the new car is close to 200,000 yuan. After the comprehensive discount in some regions, it is only sold for more than 160,000 yuan. The overall cost-effectiveness is super high. What else do you want Honda Accord, , Nissan Teana ?
