I budgeted 170,000 to buy a car, this budget to buy fuel SUV, I considered the joint venture brand in the classic models, like the Toyota Rongfang, Volkswagen Tuyue, which I considered for a long time, they are all considered "veterans" in the car market. These two models can be said to have their own good, Toyota Rongfang's retention rate is high, fuel consumption is relatively low, that is, the terminal discount is not much, and the budget of 170,000 will also buy a low-end model. The cost performance of Volkswagen Tuyue is higher, it has certain discounts at the terminal, and the configuration is more comprehensive. However, in the end, I did not choose Toyota Rongfang, nor did I choose Volkswagen Tuyue, but gave them up after careful study and chose TA.
This car is dongfeng citroen Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version, for my last decision, friends who do not understand the car are wondering, but insiders who understand the car praise me for really having vision.

In terms of appearance design, the style of Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS co-creation version is more special, its front face grille is not as obvious as Toyota Rongfang and Volkswagen Tuyue, but cleverly made a split design to narrow the visual perception of the grille. The headlights on both sides also adopt the same split treatment as the grille, embedded in the two sides of the grille, and the internal lamp source uses matrix LEDs, which is not available in Rongfang and Tuyue. Down, you can see the silver polygonal decoration on both sides of the front bumper, making the front bumper look less monotonous.
