The arrival of versailles C5 X is undoubtedly an injection of cardiotonic agent for the "low tide" DPCA car. The "spillover effect" of versailles C5 X has made Dongfeng Citroën's monthly sales continue to grow rapidly, helping Dongfeng Citroen to achieve the annual challenge target of 100,000 vehicles in 2021 ahead of schedule, and in the face of 2022, the new Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS may also contribute a strong "Citroën power". A few days ago, Citroën released the official map of the C5 AIRCROSS mid-term revamped model, the new car for the appearance, interior and other places to upgrade, it is reported that the overseas version of the model will be listed in the second quarter of this year, it is expected that the domestic version will also be synchronized in the year to follow up.
First of all, from the appearance point of view, the new C5 AIRCROSS mainly updates the front face design on the basis of maintaining a full modeling style. The original split headlights are integrated, and the two LED daytime running lights inside are fused with the chrome lattice lines extended by the Citroën logo, presenting the exquisite atmosphere of the French car. It is expected that the new dual-banner front grille and car logo will also have a luminous effect, further enhancing the sense of technology. At the same time, the lower bracket has also been newly designed, the straight waterfall type of the middle mesh is very sporty, and the large-sized wind shrouds on both sides are wrapped in chrome, with the front lip of the chrome decoration below, the overall is more stylish and imposing.
The overall silhouette of the body side is still full and round, the details are full of personalized design, and the suspended roof with the chrome border of the C-shaped side windows is very delicate and stylish. The concave treatment under the doors adds a bit of muscle to the thick black side skirt, which is accented with a silver rectangular border at the front of the skirt and complemented by new petal-style alloy wheels to enhance the texture of the details. The tail also did not change much, but the structure of the LED light group inside the tail light has changed, canceling the original four-ring design and replacing it with misplaced geometric figures, which is very avant-garde. At the same time, the rear encirclement area has been reduced, and the bilateral double exhaust layout has been added to increase the sports atmosphere.
Inside the car, you can see that the interior design of the new C5 AIRCROSS is gradually in line with the Versailles C5 X. The irregular 10-inch suspension central control screen is equipped with a full LCD instrument to enhance the sense of technology in the car, and the car machine system has also been upgraded. Touch buttons, a new three-panel multi-function steering wheel with paddle shifters and a lever-type gearshift continue to create a clean and technological interior atmosphere. Not only that, but the seats have also been upgraded with an additional 15mm foam in padding for improved ride comfort, and features such as front seat heating and massage have been added, as well as the option of Alcantara flip-up and punched leather hybrid seats.
As for power, the overseas version of the new C5 AIRCROSS continues to offer gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrid systems. The domestic version of the model is expected to continue the current 1.6T and 1.8T gasoline engines, as well as plug-in hybrid system, the transmission system is matched with the 8-speed manual transmission. Among them, the maximum power of the 1.6T engine is 125kW (170 horsepower), the maximum power of the 1.8T engine is 155kW (211 horsepower), and the plug-in hybrid system is composed of a 1.6T engine and a front and rear dual motors, the system has a combined maximum power of 221kW (300 horsepower), the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 7s, and the cruising range of pure electric mode is 58km.
On the whole, the new C5 AIRCROSS has a new appearance and interior design that will be more in line with the aesthetic needs of today's young consumers, and the increase in comfort configuration will further enhance competitiveness. At present, the body size data has not been exposed, referring to the length, width and height of the current models on sale are 4510/1860/1705mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2730mm, if it can be extended in the future, I believe it will be favored by more consumers.
