164,700 yuan joint venture B+ class sedan? The main seat is equipped with massage, and the Citroën C6 co-creation version is available
"Deteriorating" is used to describe the overall performance of the current French car in the Chinese market, although Peugeot has also launched the Versailles C5 X to save the market, but its monthly sales hovering around 2000-3000 units may not help. Thankfully, Peugeot has realized the urgency of saving the Chinese market and recently launched its first "customer co-creation" product, citroën Tianyi Co-creation, which has won the attention of many consumers. Nowadays, following the Citroën Tianyi co-creation version, the Citroën C6 co-creation version has also come to the market, priced at 164,700 yuan as a B+ class sedan, which is a significant "official reduction", and it is also equipped with the main driver's seat massage function, and the product is full of sincerity.
In terms of appearance, the overall design of the Citroën C6 co-creation version remains unchanged, and the front face adopts the iconic through-through chrome trim strip connected to the LED headlights on both sides, extending the visual width and appearing calm and atmospheric. In terms of size, the Citroen C6 co-creation version of the length, width and height are: 4980/1858/1475mm, wheelbase 2900mm, is a proper "B+ class" size, larger than the Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry and other conventional B-class sedans, better space comfort. In the rear part of the car, the one-sided double-output exhaust design is decent, and the sleek LED taillights are more pleasing with the blackening treatment of the light cavity, and the recognition is outstanding.
In terms of interior, the Citroën C6 co-creation version is consistent with the design style of the old model, the black interior with chrome decoration has a sense of grade, the use of the combination instrument is a bit disappointing, although the display information is rich enough, but the sense of technology is slightly inferior to mainstream products. In addition, the air conditioning control area of the new car retains the physical buttons and knob adjustments, the button rebound texture is flexible, the knob damping is clear, and it is easy to drive blindly. In addition to the above mentioned, the only visible in the new car interior that can enhance the sense of science and technology is only 8-inch central control screen and electronic gear, of which the 8-inch central control screen UI interface is simple and simple, the touch response speed is good, do not support navigation, OTA, Car Networking and other functions, fortunately, the car machine supports voice recognition control, CarPLay and CarLife car-machine interconnection application, the function is more practical.
In terms of configuration, the Citroën C6 co-creation version retains a large number of comfort configurations, of which the main driver's seat supports 10-way electric adjustment, providing the main driver's seat massage/heating function, which is very driver-friendly, in addition, the passenger seat supports 8-way electric adjustment, and has a seat heating function, and the front seat comfort is beyond doubt. Unfortunately, the new car is not equipped with the rear adjustable button of the passenger seat, and the rear seat does not support the backrest angle adjustment, and the space flexibility is limited. In addition, the new car is also equipped with keyless entry, steering wheel shift, front and rear parking radar, reversing image, fatigue driving reminder, front and rear head air curtains, front and rear side airbags, rearview mirror lock automatic folding, rear exhaust air conditioning outlet and other configurations, practicality, safety configuration is readily available.
In terms of power, the Citroen C6 co-creation version is equipped with the latest 400THP power, that is, the 1.8T turbo engine model "6G03", the maximum power of the engine is 211 horsepower, the peak torque is 300 Nm, and the maximum torque value can be exploded at 1900 rpm. From the perspective of book parameters, the performance of this powertrain is not inferior to the mainstream 2.0T power at all, which can give the driver sufficient confidence in overtaking.
epilogue
In October 2016, Citroën C6 entered the Chinese market as the flagship sedan of the brand, and with the unique product design concept of the French system, it left an "elegant and unworldly" product image in people's hearts. However, in the face of the fiercely competitive B-class sedan market, the price of Citroën C6 starting at 200,000 yuan has "scared away" some potential consumer groups, which has laid the "bitter fruit" for the future market decline. Price aside, Citroen C6 is fully worthy of the title of joint venture B+ class sedan, regardless of product design, materials, configuration, workmanship and other aspects, not inferior to Ford Taurus, Toyota Asian Dragon and other competitors, and now its price shortcomings have been made up, but considering the lack of influence of French brands in China, the future market direction of new cars is still a mystery.
