Toyota Asia Dragon (photo | configuration | inquiry) suitable for what kind of consumers, this car in Toyota’s product line in the end what role? At present, the domestic Asian dragon (read the evaluation) price in the 17.88-279,800 range, respectively, matching 2.0 liters self-attractive engine/hybrid system and 2.5 liters hybrid system, there is no four-wheel drive model, compared to the crown a lower level, for consumers, this car is the Toyota Crown alternative models.
When it comes to Toyota’s hybrid system, is it worth choosing? Asian dragon (car reputation) hybrid models starting price of 206,800 yuan, compared with the starting price of 2.0 liter fuel models is nearly 30,000 yuan expensive, according to the normal configuration to choose, this difference can basically choose a high configuration of the model, of course, more than Asian dragon, many consumers for Toyota’s model first to choose which power system, followed by the configuration of the vehicle, What is the logic behind Toyota’s hybrid system?
When it comes to who is currently in the global hybrid car market share, Toyota is the clear winner. The main reason for Toyota’s success in the gasoline-electric hybrid market is its high reliability. The hybrid system uses the Atkinson cycle engine, which has advantages such as good service life, and prioritizes fuel efficiency by keeping the intake valve open longer during the compression stroke to reduce pumping losses.
This design sacrifices some power to improve fuel economy, helping to improve driving range without the need for more complex systems such as turbocharging. The brand continues to invest in new fuel and powertrain technologies, but it’s likely that Atkinson will remain a core component of its hybrid vehicle future. Toyota’s Atkinson cycle engine is reliable because it uses a simplified design with fewer parts and less mechanical stress than conventional engines. Its longer expansion stroke improves fuel efficiency and reduces heat buildup, which in turn extends service life.
Many people buy hybrid models for the purpose of reducing the cost of car maintenance, from the Asian dragon’s fuel consumption performance, the difference in fuel consumption is indeed relatively large, in WLTC working conditions, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 2.0 liters self-suction engine per 100 kilometers is 6 liters, 2.0 liters hybrid system is 4.31 liters, 2.5 liters hybrid system is 4.36 liters, as we all know. The larger the engine displacement, the lower the speed at which the maximum torque starts. The maximum torque speed of the 2.5-liter engine starts from 3400rpm, which is 1000rpm lower than that of the 2.0-liter engine, and can enjoy sufficient low-torque acceleration. The engine is almost the same in terms of technology, are equipped with electronically controlled intelligent variable valve timing system, as well as mixed injection technology, the fuel requirements are not high, the use of 92 gasoline.
The Toyota Asian Dragon’s body size is also large enough, 4990/1850/1450mm in length, width and height, and 2870mm in wheelbase. Only the top model is equipped with 19-inch rims, and the rest of the model has 17 and 18-inch rims in two different sizes. Safety standard with front and rear side airbags, front knee airbags, side safety air curtain, etc. It is also equipped with a Level 2 driving assistance system, as well as 360° panoramic images and reverse images.
The Asian Dragon’s interior is more executive style, with all switches concentrated on the driver’s side, a 12.3-inch center screen with integrated air conditioning vents and control modules, a traditional mechanical shift lever underneath, and support for a head-up display system. The instrument panel has wood and leather trim, and the A-pillar is tilted at the right Angle and the external mirrors are proportioned to improve visibility on both sides. Modern configuration includes: mobile phone wireless charging, Wi-Fi hotspot, voice recognition control system, 4G network, etc. Basically practical functions should have all, meet the daily use no problem.
Asian dragon basic model seat material is fabric, can also be selected leather + imitation leather material, in terms of space, this car is sufficient, the front seat support ventilation/heating function, the rear seat support folding according to the actual data show that the width of the luggage compartment is 1165 mm, depth is 1190 mm, the overall riding space performance is good. However, the best performance is fuel consumption, the actual fuel consumption of the 2023 2.5-liter hybrid version measured by the understanding car emperor is 3.97 liters per hundred kilometers. The overall configuration of the Asian dragon is more balanced, and its performance is good in terms of space and fuel consumption, which is recommended for consumers who often drive long distances.
