With a budget of 200,000 to buy a joint venture SUV, I believe most people will first look at the hot-selling Toyota RAV4 Rongfang, Honda CR-V and Volkswagen Tuyue, etc., but the actual choice of a well-equipped model, the landing price is far more than 200,000 so simple. So, isn't there a high-priced joint venture SUV on the market? The answer is no. No, dongfeng Citroen after the launch of the entry-level luxury Versailles C5 X was a great success, and then brought a very sincere SUV - 2022 Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version, priced at 168,700 yuan. Next, let's take a look at whether this new car is more worth choosing than the hot-selling model.
The so-called "co-creation", as the name suggests, is to listen to the customer's opinions, stand in the customer's "perspective" to create products, so we see that the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version is equipped with front and rear radar, 360-degree panoramic parking image, main/passenger seat electric adjustment, electric tailgate with foot induction opening and closing, etc., in addition to fatigue driving tips, cruise control, openable panoramic sunroof, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, rearview mirror electric adjustment/heating/folding, Rain-sensitive wipers and other comfortable configurations are not absent, and the price of RAV4 Rongfang and CR-V with similar configurations has reached 200,000, which shows the sincerity of Dongfeng Citroen.
At the same time, Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS Co-creation Edition also keeps up with the trend of young and personalized consumption, providing two more trendy interior colors of dark gray and elegant brown. The centre console surface and seat are covered with a lot of leather with stitching, and the black lacquered border at the details and chrome trim strips make the overall texture a good performance. The two-color dual-width leather multi-function steering wheel + paddle shifters cooperate with the yacht-style electronic gear lever to create a luxurious sense of grade. The 12.3-inch full LCD meter + 8-inch touch LCD screen presents a scientific and technological atmosphere and supports mainstream functions such as Bluetooth phones, CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone interconnection.
In addition, the comfortable space is also a major advantage of the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version, its length, width and height are 4510/1860/1705mm, compared with the Volkswagen Tuyue (4453/1841/1632mm) a circle, while the wheelbase of 2730mm also surpasses rav4 Rongfang (2690mm) and CR-V (2661mm), which will provide sufficient protection for space. The wide and full textured embellished seats in the rear row are complemented by practical features such as an open panoramic sunroof, a central armrest with cup holder, air conditioning outlets, and a power connector, adding to comfort, and the rear seat backs also support proportional reclining, further enhancing the practical space in the car.
In fact, what has more advantages is the super power system of Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation, which is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 155kW (211 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 300N·m, which is significantly ahead of the RAV4 Rongfang's 2.0L engine (maximum power 126kW, maximum torque 209N·m) and Honda CR-V's 1.5T engine (maximum power 142kW, maximum torque 243N·m). The traditional system matches Aisin's 8-speed manual transmission, ensuring the comfort of the car and enjoying super high fuel economy, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 kilometers, which is almost the same as the Japanese SUV that has always focused on fuel saving.
It is worth mentioning that although the rear torsion beam non-independent suspension of the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version does not sound like the multi-link independent suspension of the grade competitor "Advanced", but thanks to the PHRC adaptive hydraulic stability system derived from the WRC champion technology, the damping characteristics will change according to different situations to ensure the shock absorption effect of the vehicle in different driving conditions to bring better comfort and stability, coupled with MCS master chassis tuning. Tianyi won four championships in the 2020 China Mass Production Car Performance Competition and won the first place in the 2020 CCPC Elk Test, which is also the driving charm of French cars.
Of course, in terms of the appearance that young consumers pay attention to, the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version does not pull the crotch. The front face is arranged through LED split headlights and a middle grid grid, which is rich in layers, and with the chrome rectangular border at the lower grille, it presents a sporty atmosphere. The full and rounded body shape details are full of personalized design, with silver and black five-spoke petal style wheels, creating a dynamic and stylish posture. The four rectangular LED taillights at the tail are the finishing touch, enhancing the sense of technology and refinement. Although the shape of the competitors of the same level has its own advantages, the thicker aluminum alloy collision beam and the high-strength steel with a ratio of up to 65.06% also make the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version far surpass the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang and Honda CR-V in terms of passive safety.
On the whole, with the Versailles C5 X's "lessons from the past", the 2022 Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version also understands the demands of consumers better, and brings a large space SUV with outstanding appearance, rich configuration, strong power, excellent control and high safety in the name of co-creation, and has reduced the dimensionality of the current market hot-selling SUV of the same level with a price of less than 170,000 yuan. At the same time, matching the user habits of the Internet era, Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version can also be purchased online, and the online and offline national unified pricing. So, what do you think about the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version, welcome to leave a comment.
