Last year, DPCA returned to sales of 100,000 units, and sold more than 10,000 units in three consecutive months, an increase of 137% year-on-year. This is inseparable from peugeot and Citroen's new car embarked on a cost-effective route, and adopted a direct sales model and user co-creation concept.
After the launch of the co-creation version of Citroën Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS, recently, its medium-sized sedan C6 also ushered in the 2022 co-creation version of the listing, the price is as follows:
The new car has only 1 configuration, and there are two body colors of carbon crystal black and pearlescent white. Provide 60 long-term loan financial solutions, you can book cars through the official website or the "Dongfeng Citroen Because you are different" mini program, offline to the store experience, and you can choose different car purchase processes, these are new ways to play.
The new C6 is 62,100 yuan cheaper than the old model, but it does not decrease in configuration but increases, which is also the characteristic of the previous co-creation version. Because it is a factory direct sales model, so the co-creation version will not have a 4S store terminal discount, but the old model on sale is only about 23,000 yuan discount, obviously the new model will be a lot of cost-effective.
Just the appearance and interior of the annual revamped C6 are almost unchanged, the exhaust tail throat style is different, the interior only provides a black minimalist style, and it has to be said that the overall design of the C6 has a sense of age.
The new C6 replaces the headlights of the old front with all-halogen light source with LEDs, and also has cornering auxiliary lighting fog lights, and adds front parking radar, front and rear side air curtains, 10-way electric seats for the main driver with massage/heating functions, and 8-way electric adjustment seats for the co-pilot, while the old co-driver is manually adjusted.
Since the C6 is a model launched in 2017, it is only cruised at a fixed speed in terms of driving assistance, and the overall configuration is also some distance from the current new car, which is a pity.
The C6 is Citroën's flagship model, with a body size of 4980/1858/1475mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, which is properly C-class in the European market, and is the same as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series with standard axles.
C6 is based on the PSA Group's highest level EMP2 platform, luxury brand DS9 and Citroën Versailles C5 X are also from this platform, but the C6 is the same as the former rear suspension using a multi-link structure, which shows that its level "treatment" is the best.
In terms of power, the C6 is equipped with a 1.8T engine, the maximum horsepower is 211Ps, the torque is 300N·m, the power is basically the same as the DS9's homologous 1.6T, and the transmission system is also matched with the 8AT gearbox.
In fact, DS9 is the successor model of C6, but its price of 24.99-33.99 million yuan is much more expensive, if you have a pursuit of chassis texture, and do not mind the configuration of the general, the new C6 is indeed very cost-effective.
The biggest problem with the new C6 is that there are not too many highlights in addition to the price and chassis, and the price of 164,700 yuan can only buy the lowest match of mainstream models such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Volkswagen Passat, Nissan Tianlai, etc., but the brand power is there.
The Kia K5, Logo 508, Chevrolet Mariber XL and other models are cheaper than the C6, and even their own Versailles C5 X products are better.
The romance of French cars needs to be based on cost performance, starting with the Versailles C5 X can be said to be a good start. This C6 co-creation version also continues this advantage, which is already a big change for itself.
But the French car has been out of sight for too long, and it will take some time for consumers to re-understand it. Taking advantage of the greater degree of freedom in the ratio of joint venture shares, the key is that French cars should introduce more new products.
