In my opinion, the withdrawal of car companies such as Fiat and Renault from the Chinese market is inevitable. Why? Could it be that their product design is flawed? Their withdrawal has nothing to do with the product, more is the lack of the momentum of breaking the ship, but also prepared for themselves in advance to prepare a "retreat", if the heart is not sincere, what is the benefit of eating fasting and keeping the vows? For example, Fiat, after it and GAC established a joint venture brand, only with the attitude of "try it out" launched two models, one is Fixiang, the other is Zhiyue, reluctant to invest, how can these two models knock on the "door" of the Chinese market? Another example is Renault, after it and Dongfeng Motor established a joint venture company, it has launched Koleo, Creuca and Correbin, and later launched the Renault eno, which focuses on the low-end electric vehicle market, and the sales volume is also unsatisfactory, worse and worse year by year, from 72,000 vehicles in 17 years to 50,000 vehicles in 18 years, and then to 13,600 vehicles in 19 years, the market share gradually decays, and it is inevitable to withdraw from the Chinese market.
Looking at another French car company , Dongfeng Citroen, it has also undergone several twists and turns, but fortunately, its performance in recent years has been booming, especially after the launch of the Versailles C5 X, which has made Citroën's attention more and more high. Since its launch in late September 2021, the Versailles C5 X has achieved sales of 13,000 units, becoming the best annual sales model in the French system and the most successful model launched by DPCA in the past seven years, and the monthly delivery of the Versailles C5 X has exceeded 5,000 units, occupying a place in the joint venture B-class car. In addition, the annual sales of the new C3-XR increased by 300%, and the annual sales of Citroën C6 increased by 600%, and the road to citroën's revival began. It can be seen that there are two attitudes and two endings. Netizen: The hearts of the Chinese people are bright and bright.
At the end of December, DPCA announced that it had completed its annual challenge target of 100,000 vehicles ahead of schedule, doubling year-on-year. Specifically, DPCA's sales exceeded 10,000 for three consecutive months, and achieved a year-on-year increase in sales for 13 consecutive months. Why has DPCA been able to gain some sales? This is inseparable from Dongfeng Citroen and Dongfeng Peugeot to accelerate the pace of new product launch, like Versailles C5 X, Tianyi Co-creation Edition and other models are an important driving force for the sustained growth of sales of Dongfeng Citroen Automobile. Today, let's talk about the Tianyi co-creation version, I think this new car is like versailles C5 X, it is also very cost-effective, and it is very likely to be on fire.
Tianyi co-creation version is priced at 168,700 yuan, don't think that its price is less than 170,000 is a low-end model, in fact, it is a model co-created with customers, the configuration has been very rich, like 360 ° panoramic image, cruise control, 225/55 R18-inch tires, suspension soft and hard adjustment, panoramic sunroof, electric tailgate, leather steering wheel, leather seats, keyless entry/start, 12.3-inch LCD dashboard, 8-inch central control screen, LED headlights, automatic headlights, Automatic air conditioning, etc. are also fully equipped. Within 170,000 it is difficult to find a higher level of joint venture models than it is equipped, such as within 170,000 can buy Toyota RAV4 Rongfang 2.0L CVT two-wheel drive urban version and Honda CR-V 240TURBO manual two-wheel drive classic version, these two Japanese SUVs are very low configuration, is the "cai version" model, no 360 ° panoramic image, front /rear parking radar, electric tailgate, fatigue driving reminder, keyless entry/start, leather steering wheel, LCD dashboard, leather seats, main / Electric adjustment of co-pilot seat, electric folding of exterior mirrors/ automatic folding of locking cars, automatic air conditioning, rain-sensitive wipers, etc. Obviously, Tianyi Co-creation Edition is a joint venture preferred SUV within 170,000, which is higher than it is more expensive than it, and it is not as good as it is lower than its configuration.
In terms of space, thanks to the 2730mm "leapfrog" wheelbase of tianyi co-creation, its rear leg space is very spacious, and the rear floor platform is not high, which is very friendly to intermediate passengers. Its seat is wide and comfortable, the interior padding is soft and hard, and it has a good support for the body, which can bring a very pleasant riding experience.
In terms of power, Tianyi Co-creation Edition is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 211 horsepower, the maximum torque is 300 Nm, and the peak torque (300 Nm) can be exploded in the maximum torque range of 1900-4500rpm, and the explosive force in the low torque state is also very strong, and the starting and overtaking can be one step faster. Matching this 1.8T engine is the 8AT gearbox provided by Aisin Seiki, stable and reliable is synonymous with it, the gear change is smooth, the transmission efficiency is also very high, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of Tianyi Co-creation Version of 100 kilometers is only 6.2L, which is very fuel-efficient. Within 170,000, it is equipped with a powertrain of 1.8T+8AT, in addition to the Tianyi co-creation version, can not find other models, right?
In addition to the power system, Citroën is most proud of its master chassis tuning, it can adjust the torque beam non-independent suspension more resilient than the multi-link independent suspension, both comfort and sportiness, in the control and comfort of the balance, to Tianyi co-creation version as an example, its MCS master chassis tuning with PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology derived from WRC champion technology, bringing a comfortable driving experience.
Tianyi co-creation version in the "three major pieces", configuration, price, space and other aspects are very sincere, within 170,000 is difficult to find opponents, therefore, I will say that it is like Versailles C5 X, very cost-effective, high probability will be fire. So, what do you think about tianyi co-creation?
