In the popular B-class car market, the reputation of the Citroën C6 does not seem to be loud, as a French main model, the citroën C6 performance in the market is not particularly ideal. However, the product strength of this car is still very good, it has an import status before, it is equipped with very comprehensive functions and excellent power, although it is gradually lonely because of the positioning is too high, but the threshold of Citroën C6 after domestic production is also constantly decreasing, and now the starting price is less than 200,000 yuan, and the car purchase discount on the terminal market is also good. So what about the current citroen C6 in the market and the status of the existing car? How should you choose compared to the popular Nissan Tianlai? In response to these problems, we will analyze them in this article today.
Sales are not good, but there are existing cars, and the 1.8T is the most popular
Dongfeng Citroen C6 is not doing well in the domestic market, about a few hundred units per month. Judging from the performance of a 4S store we visited in the Beijing area, last month the sales volume of this store was 47 units, and the Citroen C6 only sold 6 units, less than a fraction of the total sales. Among them, the "2020 400THP Luxury" is the best-selling model, priced at 220,900 yuan, belonging to the 1.8T entry-level model, and the best color sold is still the classic black. As for why this car sells well? There are probably two reasons. First of all, the 1.8T engine on this car, the maximum horsepower reached 211Ps, the maximum torque was 300N·m, which was stronger than the 1.6T driving pleasure, and the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption was 6.4L/100km, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was only 0.1L higher than 1.6T, and the fuel economy performance was also very good.
In addition, under the premise that the price of the "360THP Deluxe" is 19,000 yuan more expensive than the low-gear configuration, in addition to the key 1.8T, the car also has more front parking radar, 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, Internet of Vehicles and satellite navigation system, etc., driving will be more relaxed and comfortable, presumably this is why most people choose it. In addition, some of the current configurations in the store are available, and friends who want to buy Citroën C6 do not need to worry about waiting for a long time to pick up the car.
In the car purchase discount this piece, the current Citroen C6 all series have a cash discount of 25,000 yuan, installments can also provide 100,000 yuan of interest-free loans, and do not charge financial fees, the most worth mentioning is that the replacement of the old car can also enjoy another 14,000 yuan of preferential subsidies, the details are as follows:
1, full purchase of car: for the hot sale of "2020 400THP luxury type", on the basis of the guidance price of 220900 yuan, you can enjoy a cash discount of 25000 yuan, but then count some hard car purchase costs, including purchase tax (about 16744 yuan), insurance costs (about 6500) and license fees (about 1000 yuan), then the final landing price of this car is almost 220144 yuan.
2, installment / replacement car purchase: installment and full payment, are 25,000 yuan of concessions, can provide 100,000 yuan of two years interest-free loan policy, but also do not have to pay financial fees, the down payment amount is 95,900 yuan, divided into 24 installments, the repayment amount of each period is 4167 yuan. If the old car is replaced, in addition to the 25,000 yuan discount, you can also enjoy an additional subsidy of 14,000 yuan.
Details can be found in the following table:
As for the citroen C6 car buyers, according to the situation introduced by the sales staff of the 4S store, most of the people who come to the store are still old customers, and their car selection is mainly more cost-effective and practical, while doing safety and driving, but also to ensure the comfort of the driver and passengers. After they came to see the Citroën C6, they were very satisfied with the appearance and space of the car, and the test drive, the comfort of sitting in the front and rear rows was very good, and the power performance was also very stable. Most importantly, if you replace it with an old car, the discount of this car can reach nearly 40,000 yuan, and the price after the discount is closer to their budget.
Not as powerful as the Tianlai 2.0T, but the old owners prefer the Citroen C6?
For consumers who want to buy a family B-class car, there are many car purchase options with a budget of about 200,000 yuan, in addition to considering the Citroën C6 cost-effective but relatively niche models, they will also follow the trend to see some popular car series, such as Nissan Tianlai, etc., which currently has a discount of about 28,000 yuan. Sales said that there is a customer who wants to change the car, pay more attention to safety, comfort and other aspects, compared with the two cars or chose citroën C6, one of the reasons is that the discount after the replacement is greater than the natural sound, the other is that the chassis of the Citroën C6 is more stable and solid than the natural sound, and the car is better to drive.
So should I choose citroën C6 or Nissan Tianlai? Analyzing the product strength of these two cars, it can be found that Nissan Tianlai is more youthful in the design of appearance and interior, while Citroen C6 pays more attention to the creation of business style. In addition, the Citroën C6 has a wheelbase of 2.9 meters, which is better than the natural sound in all aspects, and also supports functions such as seat ventilation/massage, which is more comfortable than the natural sound. However, the maximum horsepower of the 2.0T engine of Tianlai is 243Ps, which is 1.8T higher than the 211 horsepower of citroën C6, and the performance performance is better on the book data, but the NEDC fuel consumption of the 2.0T Tianlai is 6.6-6.7L/100km, and it also needs 95 gasoline, and the subsequent car maintenance cost should be higher than that of Citroën C6.
Overall, the 2.0T has more dominant power performance, but the Citroën C6 leads in terms of body size, ride comfort and fuel economy. In contrast, the Nissan Tianlai will be more in line with the needs of young consumers who pursue driving pleasure, while the Citroen C6 will be more attractive to consumers who pay attention to space, comfort and fuel consumption.
Then there are some uses after the purchase of the two cars.
Citroen C6 maintenance cycle is every 7500 kilometers to carry out once, need to replace the oil filter, as well as air filter air conditioning filter and other accessories, the price is about 1157 yuan, according to three years of driving 60000 km for a large maintenance cycle to calculate, then Citroën C6 three years Of total conventional maintenance costs are about 10968 yuan, the average annual need for about 3656 yuan.
Nissan Tianlai every 5000 kilometers to carry out maintenance, the first insurance is free, the cost of small maintenance is about 667 yuan, then the total conventional maintenance cost of Tianlai for three years is about 8935 yuan, and the average annual need is about 2978 yuan. Although the maintenance cycle is more frequent, the cheaper accessory price makes the cost of car maintenance lower than that of citroën C6.
Next is the salvage performance of the used cars of the two cars.
We found Citroën C6 "2017 380THP Premium" from the current mainstream used car platform, which landed at a price of about 240,000 yuan that year, traveled 37,000 kilometers in four years, and is now quoted at 138,000 yuan.
Nissan Tianlai "2020 model revamped 2.0L XL Comfort Edition", it landed at about 180,000 yuan that year, drove 24,000 kilometers a year and a half, and is now quoted at 156,000 yuan. It can be seen that Nissan Tianlai should be more valuable.
summary
Overall, the current purchase of Citroen C6 is still a good time, not only there is a part of the existing car inventory in the store, eliminating the time of waiting for the car, and the whole series has a discount of 25,000 yuan, and the installment can also be interest-free and free of handling fees, more importantly, the replacement can also save 14,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly good news for the old owners. Although the French car has never been too hot in the domestic market, compared to the popular Japanese car Nissan Tianlai, the comfort, space and fuel economy of the Citroën C6 are better, considering the cost performance, it seems more appropriate to choose this car.
