A few days ago, Citroën officially released the mid-term redesign of tianyi C5 Aircross to the world. The new car is expected to be unveiled domestically at the Beijing Auto Show in April and will be available later this year.
As a mid-term redesign, the changes of the new Tianyi focused on the front and rear lighting, front bar shape and interior configuration. The new car uses the new design language of the new C4, the V-shaped daytime running lights are more convergent than the C4 and Versailles, the headlights connected to the central network even have a bit of a Volkswagen model flavor, and the surrounding lines under the front face are sharper. The new car is replaced with a new version of the logo after the Citroën brand, which is no longer closely connected to the grille, further strengthening the brand image.
The changes in the side and rear of the new car are very limited, a new set of contrast 18-inch wheels is selected by the user, and the taillight interior structure is also adjusted compared to the previous model, from "8 characters" to three short lines. The new car has a trim size of 4500× 1840×1670mm, and the wheelbase remains at 2730mm. In addition, the new car also added a dark blue paint called "Eclipse Blue".
The interior layout of Zhongga Tianyi has also been adjusted. The position relationship between the 10-inch central control screen and the lower air outlet is somewhat similar to that of the Versailles C5 X, and the texture of the seat skin has also changed from the "chocolate block" style of the previous model to the strip style of Versailles. The central control screen does not use the latest IVI2020 system, and uses the NAC system of the current car. It is reported that the domestic version of the model is expected to adopt a localization scheme that is more in line with the use habits of the Chinese people.
In terms of powertrain, the main 1.2T three-cylinder, 1.5T/2.0T diesel and PHEV front-drive plug-in hybrid powertrain of The European standard model will most likely not come to China, and the domestic version of the model will still use the 1.6T/1.8T gasoline power and Hybrid4 PHEV four-drive power assembly of the current car, and the maximum power of the two is 175/211 horses.
