Speaking of Zhengzhou, what is your first impression? Most people would say that this is a city pulled by a train, and if you ask him in detail about his impressions of Zhengzhou next, maybe he will be gagged for a while, and his mind will spin in circles but still can't think of it.
In fact, Zhengzhou is also known as the Green City, which is an ancient and young city, it is like a vigorous young man, rubbing and rubbing his long head, as the provincial capital city for more than 60 years, the urban area has expanded by nearly 80 times, especially in the past decade, an increase of 70%.
Today's Zhengzhou is not only a national central city, but also a popular city for short video social media such as Douyin, attracting the attention of more and more young people. Next, automotive intelligence new media will explore Zhengzhou together with Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X, which is also known as an internet celebrity car, to see what kind of spark this CP can rub?
Zhengzhou look and feel, design Versailles
Zhengzhou is not only in the C position of national transportation, but also a green city built with tung trees.
The French sycamore, an imported product that has accompanied Zhengzhou for half a century, has now been branded in the heart of the city. In the early 1950s, after the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the Henan Provincial Government moved to Zhengzhou from Kaifeng, many fast-growing green trees were planted on both sides of and near Jinshui Road, which has become a city symbol engraved in the bones of Zhengzhou people for many years.
Especially the Yingbin Road that connects to the Yellow River State Guest House, The Fatong shades the sky, and walks on the long boulevard in the summer, like walking through a green tunnel. In late autumn, the leaves seem to be dyed golden by wind and frost overnight, reflecting the clear sky of Ulan, which is amazingly beautiful.
Although it is already a cold winter season, the Fa Tong on both sides of Yingbin Road does not have the leafy branches of summer, but driving this Versailles C5 X that represents French romance to punch in, you don't have to say, there is still a perfect CP of the immediacy.
In fact, when I first got the Versailles C5 X, I was thinking that it did have some similarities with Zhengzhou's urban character. One is a diverse and inclusive city; the other combines the elegance and dynamics of a sedan, the practicality of a station wagon and the robustness and passability of an SUV, which can be described as more than a sedan in the traditional sense.
Indeed, from the highly recognizable front of the car, the split headlights extend all the way to the LOGO, forming an X-shaped design language, which greatly stretches the overall visual width and makes people feel that this car is very atmospheric and fashionable. Looking at the side of the car, this is definitely the most reflective of the "Versailles" side of this car. Like mentioned above, it has both the dynamics and styling of a sedan, while also being able to see the feel of a little bit of the rear of the station wagon, and has a high ground clearance like an SUV.
Perhaps it is a busy city for a long time, and it will always yearn for a quiet and far-reaching life. Driving this Versailles C5 X wandering on Yingbin Road, leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, temporarily leaving the busy rhythm, opening a wider radius of life, I did not expect to enjoy a French romance and warmth in Zhengzhou.
Some of the design considerations of the Versailles C5 X are telling. For example, the 19-inch two-tone diamond cut active intake aluminum rim, there are actually many small blades inside, so that it can rotate like a small fan, so as to blow air into the brakes. Around the tire, a lot of spoilers are also designed, and the benefit is still to reduce the wind resistance coefficient. Another example is the rearview mirror headlights hidden in the cracks of the double cut, while the beautiful tail lights in the shape of the big X are hidden in the recessed grooves, thus highlighting the three-dimensional feeling.
Such a design Versailles, such a green city of Zhengzhou, is indeed love, love.
Zhengzhou culture, comfortable Versailles
The French writer Victor Hugo once said: Architecture is history written in stone. A public sculpture and architecture is the art closest to the public, which not only shapes the living space of the city, but also affects the cultural history and spiritual traditions of the city.
Located in the changxi lake new area of the city's central cultural district - Zhengzhou CCD undoubtedly plays this important role, here not only the Zhengzhou new era landmark buildings - Olympic Sports Center, Cultural and Art Center, Civic Activity Center, Modern Media Center "four centers", as well as the South-to-North Water Diversion System, Xiliu Lake, Zhengzhou Botanical Garden and other ecological resources, is a unique Central Plains cultural characteristics, ecological type, intelligent citizen public cultural service area.
Drive the Versailles C5 X all the way west along the Longhai Elevated Highway, while admiring the beauty of Damei Zhengxi, while feeling the smooth and surging power brought by the upgraded 360THP turbo engine + 8AT Aisin transmission of the Versailles C5 X. With the deep step on the throttle, a very linear burst of power was clearly felt, and the process of the turbine from intervention to establishing positive pressure to peak torque output was smooth without any slight frustration.
Of course, in addition to the commendable powertrain, the Versailles C5 X's MCS master chassis tuning also adds a lot to the comfort and comfort of the journey. This is thanks to the Versailles C5 X series of standard CITROON's original PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology, which can adapt different dampings according to different road surfaces, precise design and calculation, fully guarantee the fit of comfort and power, and achieve a smooth and comfortable magic carpet.
After parking the car, adjust your comfortable backrest angle, and lie lazily on the wide seat of the Versailles C5 X, looking out the window through this huge panoramic skylight. Freely unfolding foliage surrounds the building and grows toward the sky, and the sunlight reflects light on the glass curtain wall, while passing through the gaps between the branches, sprinkling dappled light and shadow, connecting the relationship between people, architecture and nature. Perhaps this is the comfort and comfort of "staying in the cage for a long time, returning to nature".
Although the PM2.5 in Zhengzhou in winter is still high, thanks to the versailles C5 X equipped with a variety of air purification and detection devices, coupled with the extremely elaborate filling materials in the interior, the Versailles C5 X, which has just run less than 5,000 kilometers, has no odor at all.
By the way, the interior of the Versailles C5 X inherently comes with warmth and comfort, that is, through soft material wrapping, wood grain panels, striped design, and the use of leather and cloth, giving you the comfortable sensory experience of opening the door and wanting to sit in. In this comfortable space, you can feel the warm winter sun and feel the comfort of the sun touching your forehead.
Zhengzhou future, technology Versailles
The Longhu Public Art Center in Zhengdong New District is also known as the "Crown of the City" in Zhengzhou, and the famous Heichuan Medal Memorial Hall is located here. The 360-degree glass ring gallery is like a "spaceship", landing steadily on a large lawn, attracting many young people to take photos.
At the same time, the area where the Longhu Public Art Center in Zhengdong New District is located is also the science and technology innovation belt of Zhengzhou, where there are 5G smart buses and cloud computing industry bases.

This is not, in the Zhengdong New District wide road, after activating the C-Pilot assisted driving system, you can achieve the automatic parking and stopping of the road conditions in the full speed domain, we also specially tested a difficult challenge, that is, its lane change assist function, it can monitor the rear of the vehicle 80m distance, when the vehicle tries to change lanes, and the rear vehicle speed is faster, there is a risk of collision, the system will issue an alarm in time. Let's say that after this function has been experienced, it can no longer be separated.
At the same time, versailles C5 X's super-sized 3D color eHUD head-up display and full LCD instrument are also worth mentioning, with the C-Connect 3.0 intelligent networking system that can be upgraded by OTA, just need to say "Hello, Citroën" to wake up the voice assistant, and the sense of technology in the entire cockpit is in place.
【Conclusion】Zhengzhou is not only a city pulled by the train, but also a law tree that covers the sky, a comfortable urban culture and a smart technology industry. The same is true for the Versailles C5 X. Not only the traditional sense of the car, but also the integration of the station wagon and the luxury of the SUV, of course, the natural romance and comfort of the French car is branded in the bones, so Zhengzhou and Versailles C5 X, naturally taste will be intoxicated.
