In recent years, the presence of french brands citroen in China has become increasingly low, and unlike in 14 years and 15 years, it is difficult for many french brands to be the preferred brand for domestic consumers to buy cars as before. But Citroën's Versailles C5 X has a high public opinion when it is listed, and it is full of good or bad voices on the Internet, and recently with the decline in popularity, Versailles C5 X has exploded the crash test score of the C-NCAP agency.

Can't help but make us ponder, Versailles C5 X value is not worth the choice? Or is the Versailles C5 X that good or bad?
Most people buy cars mainly for household use, and the audience of the Versailles C5 X is the same, we may as well look at it from the perspective of a family car, is it a qualified family car? Consumers pay attention to nothing more than the old ones, the price and safety factor of the appearance configuration space, and so on.
The importance of the appearance of the vehicle is self-evident, after all, people rely on the face tree to rely on the skin, and excellent design has a multiplier effect on promoting consumer purchases. The Versailles C5 X is a crossover model with a look that incorporates elements of a sedan and an SUV. There is both the short and long body of the sedan and the chassis height of the SUV.
The high waist line narrow window, the large wheel hub and the long wheelbase low body, coupled with a variety of unique designs, give the Versailles C5 X a good appearance and a cross-border model posture, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers today. It also makes people feel that the uniqueness of the legal system should be like the Versailles C5 X, full of recognition and characteristics.
Nowadays, the interior of the French car has been a lot less "anti-human" design than the previous French model, and there is no steering wheel in the center that does not rotate at Versailles, nor a steering wheel that rotates counterclockwise and a confusing button layout, but on the contrary, it is a pleasing humanized button layout and an interior design with excellent texture.
Among the joint venture models, the configuration of the French brand is still relatively thick compared with other brands. "Entry is high match" is one of the selling points of the Versailles C5 X. Cruise control, variable suspension adjustment, panoramic sunroof, active grille, power seat adjustment, 8 speakers, automatic headlights and dual-zone air conditioning are standard across the range.

The maximum horsepower is 175 horses, the peak torque is 250N·m, for Versailles, which weighs 1.5 tons, zero hundred acceleration can be within 9 seconds, the power is not weak, and the speed will be increased under full load, and the power will have a certain deficiency.
