The current joint venture B-class car market mainly depends on the German and Japanese cars. The German cars are represented by Volkswagen. Both the Passat and the Magotan have good sales. The Japanese cars are represented by Toyota, Honda and Nissan, and the Camry, Accord and Teana are the representatives. It is also a frequent visitor on the B-class car sales rankings. The remaining American, Korean, French and British cars have no strength to compete head-on with the German and Japanese cars. Therefore, most of the friends who want to buy a joint venture B-segment car will choose one from German and Japanese. Personally, I prefer Japanese cars. GAC Toyota’s new Camry mentioned a 2.5G car when it first launched. The deluxe version has been driving for a while now, and I am impressed with its comfortable driving experience. A friend of mine mentioned the SAIC Volkswagen Passat at the beginning of the year, and then drove it instead, finally clarifying the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen. For the new Camry, I have been driving it for a while, and I have been very familiar with it. My 2.5G luxury version has landed less than 250,000. Its power system is composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + 8AT gearbox. With the blessing of Toyota’s TNGA architecture, the texture of the chassis has changed from the original partial comfort to the current one. Comfortable, sporty, and more compatible. This 2.5L engine has a maximum power of 209 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. Although it is not as strong as some 2.0T engines according to the book data, the power output of the Camry is also It is very abundant, and the fuel consumption performance is lower than I expected. I originally thought that a B-class car with a 2.5L engine would consume more than 10L/100km, but the result was 8.3L/100km when it was running in. , After the running-in period, it has dropped to below 8.0L/100km. Those who often say five or six fuels should not have actually driven a Camry. If it is a 2.5L hybrid model, the fuel consumption of this five or six fuels is my Believe it, but the normal level of 2.5L fuel is about 8.0L/100km. You can’t let the horse run fast and let the horse eat less, right? This is not normal and not scientific. Why do I wait for the new car to be listed before buying it? Very simple, because the new car is smarter, the 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel + 10.1 inch central control screen + HUD head-up display system enhances the sense of science and technology in the car. In terms of functions, it supports GPS navigation, voice recognition control, car WeChat, and AutoNavi. Maps, CarLife, Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrades, etc., the new dynamic radar cruise control system can now follow the car at full speed, making driving easier. In terms of smart configuration, Camry can be said to be ahead of the Japanese counterparts, but its rich smart configuration does not mean that it has no shortcomings, such as not supporting CarPaly, etc., obviously it is not friendly to Apple mobile phone users. The compatibility of Camry could be stronger. As for space, the length of 4885mm and the wheelbase of 2825mm bring a spacious “large rear” to the Camry. The space is very spacious in all B-class cars. On the whole, the Camry’s performance in all aspects is as expected. 2.5L+8AT also meets my requirements for power output. The 2.5L engine has a strong power reserve, and the AISIN 8AT gearbox has a clear shift logic. The gear is also very smooth, the chassis is sporty and comfortable, and the texture of the chassis is very different from that of the previous Japanese cars. How do you say? It combines the comfortable characteristics of Japanese cars and the sporty temperament of European cars. This is a change that I personally like very much. The SAIC Volkswagen Passat 380TSI flagship version chosen by my friend is the top option of the 2.0T high-power model. The price is much higher than my Camry, but the actual landing price is very close. So, what kind of experience is it like to change a friend’s Passat? In other words, what are the differences between Camry and Camry? In terms of power, it is indeed stronger than the Camry. The Camry has 209 horsepower and the Passat has 220 horsepower. The difference is not obvious. The obvious is the maximum torque. The Camry’s 250 Nm vs. Passat’s 350 Nm is reflected in personal acceleration. The above is that the Camry is more linear, the power output of the large displacement self-priming engine is continuous, and the Passat has a sense of abruptness. After a deep step on the accelerator, the power output will come after a short period of reflection. It may not be suitable for the first time. , But after getting used to it, I will like this sense of acceleration very much. The 7DSG dual-clutch gearbox shifts quickly, and there is no sense of frustration under acceleration, but in the stop-and-go congested section, especially the 2nd gear up to the 3rd gear. Or you can feel the frustration when you get 3 gears down to 2 gears. In other words, in terms of acceleration experience, Passat is better, while in terms of ride comfort, Camry is better. Reflected in the chassis, the two are also very different in style. Although their chassis structure is the same, the tuning style is quite different. The Camry’s chassis is moderately soft and hard, which can ensure both comfort and sportiness, while the Passat is pure sports. The style is adjusted and the chassis texture is hard. When passing speed bumps and uneven roads, the body bounces more and the chassis damping stroke is shorter, which can cause a certain impact on the people in the car. I personally think that the Camry is more suitable for home use. In terms of configuration, the Camry is better in terms of intelligence. For example, its full-speed domain follow-up function is not available in Passat. Passat does not have an OTA upgrade that can evolve the car system, but in terms of compatibility, it is still Passat. Stronger, for example, it has both CarLife and CarPaly. In terms of interior texture, the Camry has a more technological sense. Its LCD instrument panel and central control screen are larger than Passat, and the central control layout looks younger, while the Passat’s interior looks very mature. Personal preference of decoration style, I prefer Camry’s youthful design and intelligent configuration. It has to be said that the Passat’s rear row space is indeed large, at least larger than the Camry. The 4933mm car length and the 2871mm wheelbase have advantages over the Camry, and the rear space is more spacious, but spaciousness does not necessarily mean Comfort and comfort are closely related to the seat design. Passat’s seat is still hard, not as soft as Camry’s. In general, the Passat’s power output is stronger, the space is larger, and the control feel is good; the Camry’s ride comfort is more advantageous, the seats are more comfortable, and the chassis is more balanced. Judging from the comprehensive performance of the two, it happens that one represents the Japanese car and the other represents the German car. For family use, I still prefer the Japanese car, otherwise I would not choose the GAC Toyota Camry. What do you think of the Camry and Passat differently?
