Versailles C5 X once became an internet celebrity car after its listing, which also has a lot to do with its hot name, and then the manufacturer carefully created a circle of car friends. Then some controversies on the Internet pushed it step by step to the cusp of the storm. In short, for the various sounds of this car, it has been heard endlessly, so what kind of car is this?
Since it comes from Citroën and is also named Versailles, everyone's first reaction must be "French car", and it is true that it really has many characteristics of French car. However, when it comes to French cars, it does not have to be naturally associated with French romance, in my opinion, french romance is actually just word of mouth, really to Paris, you must see dirty neighborhoods, more dirty subways, almost all the cars in Paris are full of bump marks.
Speaking of versailles C5 X, you must first talk about its shape, you can define some conical shapes as a crock tanker, you can also define it as a Cross, or even say that it is a sliding car. When the Versailles C5 X was first introduced, perhaps the most appealing thing was its "four unlikes" shape and, of course, its glowstick-like headlight set. Versailles C5 X in the shape of the circle, will cause a kind of you say it is, it is what it is, you think it is a crock pot, then it is the crock pot in your heart. Did you remember a sentence? As long as you have the sea in your heart, everywhere is the Maldives?
Versailles C5 X such a styling design, in fact, is also a major trend, earlier there were rumors that Ford planned to develop such a car, in the European market to replace the Mondeo, and such a cone design, has long been used by many new car-making forces, such as FF91, Gaohe and the recent hot extreme krypton 001.
In terms of interior design, the most attractive thing about the Versailles C5 X is not its design theme, especially not the design of its dashboard, because the combination of such an LCD instrument + central control screen is already the standard of 100,000-200,000 models, and the design of Versailles is even a bit "old", because it basically does not do any treatment for the air outlet that looks like it came from the last century, and also unconditionally retains a large number of physical buttons.
The middle channel design of the Versailles C5 X is trying to bias towards the sense of technology, strictly speaking, it no longer has a traditional sense of the gear, not even the electronic gear, the entire gear shift mechanism has completely become a button toggled front and back, note, it is a button instead of a knob, and it is particularly inconspicuous. This design is indeed simple, at first glance I feel that something is missing, but after getting used to it, I think that this actually makes the whole car suddenly become very clean, and the space is also visually larger, which is also a different way.
In terms of size, the Versailles C5 X with a length of 4805 mm and a wheelbase of 2785 mm is a medium-sized car, and its rear space is not crowded not only because the leg space is relatively abundant, but also the head space and horizontal space in the rear row are actually plus points, it can be said that if the rear row is squeezed into three people, even if you sit for an hour or two, go to a peripheral tour, you will not feel too sad.
In terms of driving texture, I think there must be a reasonable expectation for this level of mid-size car. You can't expect it to be as smooth as a Mercedes S-Class or even a Rolls-Royce, but it also has to have its own characteristics. For example, for the treatment of road vibrations, the Versailles C5 X can not be described as comfortable, it can not really absorb or filter out the potholes of the road, strictly speaking it only slows down the transmission of vibrations, whether sitting in the front row or the back row, you can not obviously but very really feel this. As for the noise that has been told countless times, I can only say that I did not hear the abnormal engine noise, but none of the other noises let me go.
The driving experience of the Versailles C5 X is still a certain distance from the movement, and the physical characteristics of the front McPherson rear torsion beam suspension determine that it must be "leisurely" when cornering, otherwise at a speed of 40 km / h, the steering will feel the body's sideways, so you need to understand its limits and do not challenge this limit.
In terms of power, versailles C5 X is equipped with a 175 hp 1.6T engine as standard, the maximum torque is 250 Nm, this 4-cylinder machine that can drink No. 92 oil is very balanced in all aspects, balanced to the point that you even hope that it can be a little biased, for example, I hope that its low-speed feedback can be more obvious, one foot throttle down there is no too obvious lag, so even if it is more fuel-intensive I can accept. But this engine is so tepid that it makes you feel like it's always smiling at you and makes you lose no temper at all. Of course, this also solidifies the home positioning of the Versailles C5 X.
Finally, the Versailles C5 X series of 143,700-186,700 is priced reasonably, isn't it? With a low price of more than 140,000, this car is really worth the money, and what you get is a joint venture "crock tank-like" model. But the high-end model, the landing is about 200,000, in this price point, your choice is more, and the versailles C5 X configuration, especially the basic configuration, the competitiveness is a bit anxious.
