For French cars, a touch of warmth was finally felt in this cold winter, and the Versailles C5 X sold more than 5,000 units for two consecutive months, making it the only model among the two main French brands peugeot and Citroën to achieve this achievement. But if you want to revive the prestige of the French brand, the Versailles C5 X may have to take more responsibility to live up to the trust of car companies and users.
Since the official debut of the Versailles C5 X, the controversy about it has not stopped, and to a certain extent, it has expanded the popularity of the Versailles C5 X. Returning to the product level, versailles C5 X uses cross-border styling, some people think it looks good, some people feel bad, but the aesthetic itself has no unified standards, radish greens have their own love, there is not much meaning to discuss. As for the dispute over the width of the tires, as long as the braking performance and tire noise are within the acceptable range, I don't think there is any major problem, but there is one thing to say, the tire noise and sound insulation of the Versailles C5 X do have room for improvement. As for the price difference, in general, 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers to change the tire once, discuss the difference in tires, it is better to consider how to save money when doing maintenance more practical.
The most controversial part of the car is its spatial performance and the car machine. First of all, the space, Versailles length, width and height dimensions are 4805x1865x1505mm, the wheelbase is 2785mm, the size parameters are more eye-catching, for most of the medium-sized passengers, the rear seat space is enough, the disadvantage is that the length of the seat is somewhat short, and the support for the front of the thigh is not enough. The trunk is more regular, the storage capacity is relatively strong, and it can be expanded by reclining the rear seats, and the practicality does not have to worry. The performance of the car machine is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, the system logic is indeed somewhat complicated, and the fluency needs to be improved, but fortunately, all models support OTA upgrades, and I hope that the follow-up can be optimized.
In terms of power, the Versailles C5-X uses a 1.6T engine with a maximum power of 175 horsepower, which is enough for daily transportation, but don't expect it to give you any push back feeling. The matching of the 8AT gearbox and the engine that is sought after by everyone is not perfect, the lifting gear is not active enough, there are occasional setbacks at low speeds, and the chassis adjustment is soft, and the body will produce a more obvious front-to-back pitch, affecting the driving experience.
A few days ago, Citroen announced the official launch of the Versailles C5 X Year of the Tiger opener, the price of the new car is consistent with the current model, still 143,700-186,700, the main difference is the addition of some optional kits, including the appearance of the red wheel decoration, the tiger head logo on the D pillar and the exclusive headrest in the interior, etc., and limited to 1,000 units. These seemingly minor changes are actually an important measure for Dongfeng Citroen to practice the development strategy of "co-creation and sharing".
The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, versailles C5 X this wave of heat can be said to be "rubbing" in place, in a sense, is also a reflection of the emphasis on the Chinese market. As mentioned earlier, the Versailles C5 X currently has some shortcomings and controversies, which also reflects the concern of the majority of users. Recognize their own shortcomings and strive to improve, in order to continuously improve their competitiveness. At present, in the absence of a large discount, it can achieve a monthly sales of 5,000 vehicles, and the future of versailles C5 X is still worth looking forward to.
