Versailles C5 X is really a car with constant topics, unconsciously, this French car has actually become the kind of car that loves people really love, and people who have no feelings are completely insensitive, it does have too many unique features of its own, but there are also many "against the sky" deficiencies, and we are trying to objectively say its real advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage 1. High value
You have to say that since the early C5, Citroën's car has always been eye-catching, and the low-lying shape is to make you feel that it is different. And the taper shape of the Versailles C5 X can be said to make you full of wireless imagination, you say it is Cross, small crock pot, hatchback or just say that it is a car.
And versailles C5 X front and rear lights also absolutely do the finishing touch, this three-way forklift and other design, Versailles relatively mediocre front face and tail design stretched in all directions, do not believe it imagine if there is no set of lights, C5 X front face will look like? Immediately turned into a very ordinary Citroën,
Advantage 2. Rich configuration
Versailles C5 X configuration, especially the configuration of low-end models, in the same level of the same price of the car weight, absolutely rich, obviously its positioning is a car, but it has a lot of mid-level cars to have the configuration, which may also be the C5 X pursuit of dimensionality reduction blow, for example, the rear row can actually control the front seat movement, which is generally the configuration of the executive-level model, even the 34C is not back to the load. The intelligent assistance system, pure LCD instrument and large screen, in the car-level vehicle, can also be regarded as a high-end car. From the perspective of configuration alone, the Versailles C5 X is a bit of a pile, and if these configurations are all added together, it may be more common to put it on a Japanese joint venture car of about 250,000 yuan. However, versailles C5 X such a cost-effective, in fact, the target is really not a joint venture car, it directly grabs the market of high-end domestic cars, and with the domestic car configuration, C5 X is still somewhat inadequate.
Advantage 3. Fuel saving
Versailles C5 X uses a 1.6T engine, the maximum power of 175 horsepower, the maximum torque of 250 Nm, this engine in the power parameters than most of the 1.5T domestic 4-cylinder engine is lower, but its tuning logic is not to pursue the so-called sport, in fact, 1.5T, 1.6T engine pursuit of sports itself is a false proposition. C5 X seems to have set the "fuel economy" oriented tone from the beginning, when you are slamming on the throttle, its speed increase is very reluctant, and always thinking about the upshift and downspeed, so that for those who love to play naturally have some awkwardness, but the information this car passes to you is not to let you jump off, the actual use, basically can determine that the average fuel consumption of versailles C5 X can reach about 7.5, which is measured in the actual environment, the official data given is 5.8 liters / 100 km, The difference is not very far.
Then, let's talk about its shortcomings, Versailles is also a French car, and one of the characteristics of the French car is that the advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also obvious.
Disadvantage one: the man-machine design is peculiar and awkward
Can you adapt to the gear shift mechanism of the Versailles C5 X? At first I didn't adapt, then I adapted, but I still didn't like it. It's like when I drove the Citroen C5, I just didn't like the steering wheel that only had an outer circle rotation. Porsche and Audi A3 made a small electronic gear, C5 X directly turned it into a button, such a shift mechanism, basically put up with you groping forward. From many details, you can feel that the C5 X is a car that you need a certain amount of time to adapt to and get used to, because many of its designs are really "non-mainstream", but isn't that what French cars are like?
Disadvantage two: smooth driving and ride comfort
The comfort mentioned here is more about the driving texture and NVH. In terms of driving, the C5 X has a larger body, and uses a rear torsion beam suspension, so it is basically incompatible with those aggressive driving actions, which is acceptable, but in terms of riding, its bumps are more obvious, especially the rear, plus the seat is actually not very comfortable and wrapped, so through the appearance and configuration of the sense of leapfrogging, in the use of the vehicle quickly discounted, you will quickly return to reality, and realize that in the end is still an economical French car. Moreover, although we did not feel the obvious engine noise when accelerating, the road noise and wind noise were not politely greeted at all. From these perspectives, the C5X is far from perfect, but after all, its price is there, and you have to control your expectations.
Disadvantage three: size
In fact, the problem of size can be said to be a disadvantage, and it can also be said to be an advantage. From a disadvantage point of view, this car is far more than you think. The "big" mentioned here is not only the size of the body physically, but in the actual driving, when parking, you will also feel that the car is really too big. For home users, especially female drivers, a big car of this size is not very friendly, and when you are in the car and look back at the huge space in the car, there will even be a small "sense of fear" for novices. Coupled with the versailles C5 X user group, if there is no exclusive parking space, grab the parking space in the community, go out on the weekend to play in parallel reverse in the very small gap on the side of the road, the size of the C5 X will make you very painful.
Write at the end:
If you are really excited to get into the Versailles C5 X, then you must consider the 140,000 and more than 150,000 low-end versions, the price of the high-end version, you might as well go directly to an SUV.
