In 2006, the domestic sixth-generation Camry was born in GAC Toyota. At that time, the Camry satisfied the public’s pursuit and yearning for high-end cars. Fashion, luxury, comfort, strong power and high safety performance, the sixth-generation Camry left a deep impression in people’s minds. Since then, the Camry has opened the road to a hot-selling car market and a stable C position.

18 years later, at the 21st Guangzhou International Auto Show, the ninth-generation Camry, as a blockbuster model, appeared on the stage of this auto show. Not only that, GAC Toyota also launched GAC Toyota’s new new energy brand Bozhi. The first product of the Bozhi brand, Bozhi 4X, was listed at the same time, priced from 179,800 yuan. The appearance of the ninth-generation Camry and the release of Bozhi all showed the market the breakthroughs and strengths made by GAC Toyota in the field of electrification and intelligence.

It has been a hit for 18 years

From then on, the B-Class sedan had a benchmark

Since the sixth generation of Camry, each generation of Camry has become a hit in the Chinese auto market at that time. In 2006, our country entered a stage of rapid economic development, and consumers gradually turned their attention from economical cars to B-class cars. All kinds of joint venture B-class cars dazzle consumers, but there is no standard for purchasing.

Is it possible to have a B-Class sedan that can be used as a standard, without consumers having to go back and forth and compare each other.

The sixth-generation Camry was officially launched in China, which can be said to be "hot on the market", continuously breaking many records for domestic mid-to-high-end cars. Not only that, but every subsequent generation of Camry will pass down the high quality. "Low failure rate", "high value retention rate", "three generations in one car" and other accolades have always been passed down by Camry users. Since then, B-class cars have a standard for measurement. The stylish and atmospheric appearance, large space, fuel economy and high safety of successive Camries have become the standards for consumers to purchase B-class cars.

Inheriting but not developing and innovating will eventually be abandoned by the times. Keeping pace with the times and constantly evolving is another successful password for Camry.

The ninth-generation Camry can be said to be the representative model of the electrification and intelligence of the joint venture B-class sedan. In addition to inheriting the classic high-value product power of Camry, it also incorporates cutting-edge intelligent technology. It is the "smartest Camry in history" and has become the benchmark of the B-class sedan in the era of electrification and intelligence.

In addition to providing a variety of three shape options, the ninth-generation Camry also has an electric-style shape design: the Cyber gray color scheme will be very popular with trendy groups. In terms of intelligence, the ninth-generation Camry has undergone tremendous changes. It not only comprehensively upgrades the car machine, chips and other intelligent equipment, but also brings a smart cockpit that surpasses the same level. The ninth-generation Camry uses a larger central control screen with a standard 8155 chip, which allows users to get a smarter and silkier car experience through more than 4 times the computing power and 12GB of running content. In addition, the addition of AR-HUD has greatly improved the safety of driving. The more advanced TSS3.0 enhanced version installed in the car makes driving safer and easier. Users can achieve a cutting-edge experience of smart driving, and this system is also in the leading ranks compared to the same level of models.

It is worth mentioning that the ninth-generation Camry is the first to achieve "global synchronization". It confirms what GAC Toyota said at the press conference: the ninth-generation Camry is not only the CAMRY of the world, but also the Camry of China! It shows that Toyota, the most important flagship car, values the Chinese market.

full hybridization

Only to continue to export more diverse and people-friendly products

In the "Work Plan for Stable Growth in the Automobile Industry (2023-2024) " issued in September by MIIT and seven other ministries and commissions, it is pointed out that "enterprises are encouraged to take green and low-carbon as the guide, actively explore hybrid power, low-carbon fuel and other technical routes, and promote the stable development of the fuel vehicle market." This not only points out the direction for the development of the automobile market, but also provides guidance for the general public when purchasing cars. At this stage, hybrid models are more suitable for most Chinese users.

Unlike other auto companies, GAC Toyota insists on taking the path of technological diversification, fully taking into account the diversity of our country’s environment and terrain. In the case that pure electric vehicles have not fully solved a series of problems such as slow charging, battery life anxiety, and low value retention, hybrid is undoubtedly the technology that is more suitable for most Chinese users at present.

In the era of electrification, safety and reliability are the key to considering a car. As early as the sixth generation of domestic Camry, it became the first best-selling B-class hybrid sedan in our country. After many generations, high efficiency and energy saving are still the advantages of Camry hybrid models. Don’t forget that GAC Toyota has always had a "worry-free battery" extended warranty guarantee plan for hybrid models to ensure that users can use them with peace of mind. In October this year, GAC Toyota announced that the cumulative sales volume of its smart electric hybrid dual-engine exceeded 1 million units.

The ninth-generation Camry unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show will be fully hybrid. This is an important move by GAC Toyota to help achieve the "dual carbon" goal and meet the public’s demand for safe and worry-free smart electrified products.

The ninth-generation Camry is the first B-class sedan equipped with the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine, including two hybrid versions of 2.0L HEV and 2.5L HEV, which will bring users a stronger, smoother, more economical and quieter experience. It is worth mentioning that the ninth-generation Camry will launch the 2.0HEV model for the first time, which will have the advantages of more people-friendly, energy-saving and performance. At the same time, the ninth-generation Camry also added a sport mode, striving to give users the Camry’s usual high-quality driving experience.

More importantly, the full hybridization of the ninth-generation Camry also represents the full electrification of GAC Toyota once again. The multi-path technology development layout including EV, PHEV, HEV and FCEV is constantly improving, and the products are more abundant. In the future, Volkswagen will be able to buy any new energy product that meets its own travel needs in GAC Toyota.

A sedan, born 40 years ago, has become the benchmark for B-class sedans. After entering the Chinese market, it has been popular for 18 years, letting users know what makes a good B-class sedan. The Camry’s longevity can be felt at the booth of Guangzhou Car Display Ads Toyota. As soon as the ninth-generation Camry was unveiled, it has become the "conspicuous package" of the Guangzhou Auto Show.

This is also inevitable. When an auto company has been adhering to long-term principles and creating high-quality products. When it encounters the moment of internal volume in the auto market, it can use strong determination to fight internal volume with internal strength and internal friction with expertise, and this company will surely succeed.

The appearance of the ninth-generation Camry not only represents the return of a successful B-class sedan, but also represents the "new head of joint venture" of GAC Toyota firmly moving towards a higher peak. (Text/Mo Xiao Aerial Map/Official Provided)

In 2024, Changan Automobile joined hands with industry giants such as Huawei and China Unicom to bring together the top digital transformation strategies and technical essence in the industry, and proudly built a 5G intelligent AI flexible super factory covering the whole area in Yubei District, Chongqing, that is, Changan Automobile Smart Factory, which aims to establish a "new model" in the field of intelligent manufacturing and showcase the cutting-edge achievements of intelligent exploration.

On the afternoon of July 19, the world’s first intelligent shape variable replacement model based on the SDA architecture (one car to many cars, travel to "SUV form", commute to "coupe form", load to "pickup truck form"), joined hands with the classic movie character Transformers in Changan Automotive Smart Factory. Through the live broadcast, Transformers and Changan Automotive engineers walked side by side, leading the audience to visit the six core areas of the final assembly workshop, painting line, welding area, stamping workshop, die casting center and battery manufacturing workshop, uncovering the mystery of the solid technology behind intelligent manufacturing layer by layer, and jointly witnessing and exploring the strong core competitiveness contained in Chinese manufacturing.

Future automotive intelligent manufacturing new highlands, exploring the six workshops of Changan Automobile Digital Intelligence Factory

The reason why Changan Automobile Numerical Intelligence Factory was given the exclusive mission of producing high-end Numerical Intelligence vehicles is not only due to Changan Automobile’s profound car-making heritage and experience accumulated over the past 40 years, but also its firm investment and unremitting innovation in the field of intelligent manufacturing, as well as its comprehensive embrace and deep integration of cutting-edge technology. This series of efforts have jointly built Changan Numerical Intelligence Factory’s unique advantages and core competitiveness in the field of high-end Numerical Intelligence automobile production.

In the initial chapter of automobile manufacturing, the stamping workshop played a crucial role. At present, the stamping workshop of Changan Shuizhi Factory stands out for its excellent level of automation. Its stamping production line has been fully automated. As a pioneer of Changan Automobile’s own brand, it is not only the first production line capable of controlling steel and aluminum mixed materials, but also shows extraordinary flexibility to easily cope with the production challenges of various materials such as steel and aluminum plates.

In order to ensure the excellent quality of stamped parts, the workshop introduced an innovative "online AI quality inspection + offline quality inspection" dual inspection system at the end of the stamping process. This system relies on advanced AI quality inspection algorithms deployed in the cloud, combined with industrial cameras trained by precision machine vision, to achieve all-round quality inspection and information recording of products in just one second, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency. At the same time, the application of edge algorithms is even more icing on the cake. It monitors hundreds of key quality control points in real time, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of inspection, jointly promoting the automation process of the quality inspection process, and significantly improving the accuracy of quality inspection results.

After a comprehensive upgrade, the level of automation in the welding workshop has jumped to an unprecedented level, with more than 95% of the operation process being automated. In the workshop, 185 precision welding stations and 471 high-efficiency automated robots are distributed in an orderly manner. They work together, which not only significantly improves the precision of welding operations, but also further enhances the robustness of the body structure through the extensive use of innovative aluminum alloy riveting processes.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the pursuit of the ultimate strength of the body’s sidewall, the stamping workshop has adopted the industry’s leading integrated thermoforming technology, which has enabled the strength of the sidewall inner panel to achieve a qualitative leap. Compared with the ordinary car sidewall inner panel, its strength has been increased by 2-3 times.
