丰田Avensis在欧洲市场不温不火，一直在欧宝/沃克斯霍尔Insignia，斯柯达速派，福特蒙迪欧、大众帕萨特等众多中级车型的阴影下存活。丰田希望借助这次巴黎车展打个翻身仗，发布Avensis的替代车型，重新向西欧市场推出凯美瑞欧规车型，这款车在欧洲市场已经缺席14年了。基于第八代D/E级轿车的2019款凯美瑞欧规车型与原来的Avensis相比，从内到外的设计都更具吸引力。欧版车搭载的混动系统采用2.5升引擎加电机的电动化动力总成，功率215马力，扭矩221牛米，虽然扭矩输出不算出众，但对于普通消费者日常使用是完全够用了。该车百公里加速时间8.3秒，最高时速180公里，性能表现一般，但百公里油耗仅为4.2升，每公里二氧化碳排放量98克。该车采用丰田的TNGA平台，内装设计经过调整以适应欧洲消费者。车辆储物容积524立升，足以满足大多数家庭需求。这款车将于明年一季度在欧洲上市。
Toyota Camry Euro Spec In Paris Is An Overdue Avensis Replacement
The Avensis never really made a name for itself in Europe’s crowded midsize segment, being overshadowed by far more popular models such as the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, Skoda Superb, Ford Mondeo, and of course – the Volkswagen Passat. Toyota is now attempting to recover lost ground by reintroducing the Camry in Western Europe after an absence of 14 years.
Based on the eighth generation of the D/E-sedan, the 2019 Camry in European specification has a much more interesting design inside and out compared to the defunct Avensis. On the old continent, it’s going to be offered exclusively with a hybrid powertrain featuring an electrified 2.5-liter engine producing a more than decent 215 horsepower. Being a naturally aspirated engine, torque isn’t that great, at 163 pound-feet (221 Newton-meters), but it should be adequate for people looking for a no-frills sedan. The 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) task will take 8.3 seconds en route to a top speed of 112 mph (180 kph), but the car is not about performance. The Camry Hybrid aims to be one of the most fuel-efficient models in its class, sipping just 4.2 liters / 100 km on average and emitting only 98 g/km of CO2.
Originally introduced last year, the newest Camry rides on the company’s Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform shared with the latest Corolla, Prius, C-HR, and RAV4. This particular version of the Camry has been tweaked to better cater European tastes and help the model maintain its top spot worldwide in the D/E-segment sedan with more than 700,000 units sold each year.
There’s not much to say about styling since it mimics that of the North American model inside and out. The Camry Hybrid for Europe has a pretty decent 524-liter trunk that should prove to be enough for most families, although many of its rivals are also offered as wagons for those with more luggage to carry around during longer trips.
