Electric Technology Car News: The gap between commuter cars and luxury cars will gradually narrow. Can the hastily transformed Camry succeed?

If you ask anyone on the streets of the United States today, how is the Camry? He will definitely tell you that it is very reliable. The Camry has engraved its "durable" image into the hearts of Americans. In addition, he will also tell you that this car is boring and has no freshness. After all, it targets too many people, so it can only maintain a mediocre style. The new Camry has a completely different style. Not only has the appearance changed dramatically, but the power system has also been significantly improved. So let's take a look at this car that Americans like so much.

In terms of appearance, the new Camry is longer, wider and shorter, which shows that Camry is determined to carry out the sporty style to the end. The outline of the headlight assembly of the new Camry has become sharper, and it is more integrated into the front shape compared with the previous generation. There are 4 muscle lines carved vertically on the engine cover, which, combined with the reflective effect of metallic paint, is visually quite sporty.

The Camry SE version has a prominent spindle-shaped grille, plus a simulated vent on each side of the front bumper. The rear styling is both dignified and sporty. The taillights of the new Camry SE have a black trim extending from the corners, like a tear mark.

The new Camry's interior quality has improved significantly, and the gap with luxury cars is narrowing. In terms of workmanship, materials, and electronic facilities, the new Camry is not much different from the current entry-level luxury car low-end models. The part in front of the center console of the co-pilot simulates the effect of stitching leather wrapping.

The steering wheel on the SE is wrapped in leather, the same material as Lexus, with a fine texture and a comfortable feel. All sports models are equipped with shift paddles on the steering wheel, which are made of metal and feel solid. This car is equipped with lane keeping assist and collision warning functions as standard in the US market, so safety is guaranteed.

In terms of power, the new Camry's 4-cylinder version of the engine, the 2.5L engine has a maximum power of 206 horsepower and a maximum torque of 249 Nm.

In the long run, the new Camry may represent the future development direction of the civilian automobile industry. Due to the highly fierce competition in the industry and the large-scale production effect, the current advanced mechanical and electronic functions can be fully realized in economical cars, thus narrowing the gap between "grocery cars" and luxury cars.

I personally think that in the near future, apart from those super luxury cars with sky-high prices, the boundaries between entry-level luxury cars and economy cars may become increasingly blurred and eventually merge together. So this time, the successful transformation of Camry is not only gratifying, but more importantly, its evolutionary pace that exceeds people's imagination reflects the profound meaning behind it.
