The highest state of automobile development is comfort!
In 1886, when the world's first car was born, it was still in the form of a horse-drawn carriage, with a wooden body, and a maximum speed of 5km/h, which was not much faster than walking. Since then, in the development of the automobile in the course of more than 100 years, it has begun the endless pursuit of speed and comfort.
In 1894, the Michelin brothers invented pneumatic tires, which greatly reduced the bumps in the road surface.
In 1955, the Citroën DS used hydraulic suspension for the first time to set a new standard of comfort!
Later, with the advancement of technology and manufacturing processes, whether it is automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning, ventilation and heating massage seats, or lane keeping, adaptive cruise, OTA upgrades, in the final analysis, it is all to make people enjoy the fun of driving, so that driving and riding are comfortable.
The ultimate form of automatic driving of cars may be to become a smart and comfortable space, an extension of the home. Humanity will completely liberate its hands and feet and completely achieve lying flat. Therefore, the highest realm of automobile development, the end of which is probably comfort!
At present, although we have not yet entered the era of true autonomous driving, manufacturers have never stopped exploring comfort. The Citroën brand, while inheriting and carrying forward its unique technology, has many comfort innovations on the Versailles C5 X, making it the most comfortable model in its class.
[1] Aisin 8AT + PHC suspension, comfortable driving
Smooth power transmission and soft suspension are the most basic requirements for measuring the comfort of a car. It's like the foundation of a building, and if you can't do even these two, then nothing else will help, no matter how good they are.
The Versailles C5 X achieves smooth power through the combination of Aisin's 8-speed automatic manual transmission and PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology, matching the soft suspension. Unlike the joint venture brand mid-size car at the same price, which still commonly uses the DCT dual-clutch transmission or CVT transmission, the Aisin 8AT equipped with the Versailles C5 X is not only costly but more durable, and only requires 225 milliseconds of gear change speed, making the shift smoother.
As for THE PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology, it is citroën's core strength.
On bumpy roads, the PHC shock absorber greatly absorbs the impact energy, reducing the rigid impact; and with the PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology, the hydraulic cushioning system is added at both the upper and lower ends of the shock absorber, which changes the flow of hydraulic oil inside the shock absorber through different pores to improve the filter damping, thereby avoiding excess vibration and creating a soft suspension performance.
The PHC shock absorbers precisely control the vibration frequency of the body between 1.0 Hz and 1.2 Hz, allowing the oil through hole area of the shock absorber to be designed to increase the absorption of subtle vibrations on good roads. To achieve the perfect integration of dynamic safety and driving comfort of the vehicle in various driving conditions, it also realizes the comfort effect of "long-distance not tired, bumpy road, and no drifting curves" in the user's mouth.
【2】3 layers of foam + ventilation + heating + massage seat, comfortable ride
If a good suspension is a good foundation for comfort, then a good seat adds to the comfort of passengers. Because the place where passengers get on the bus and the car have the largest contact area is the seat.
The Versailles C5 X's CAC Leading Comfort Seat, designed for the curve of the human spine, has a three-layer foam material unique to the same level, which is both supportive and elastic, effectively reducing back and waist fatigue and reducing body shake. There are also ventilation, heating, massage functions on the high-end model, whether it is winter or summer, no matter how tired, Versailles can give your body enough relaxation.
If you change to other joint venture brand medium-sized cars and have such a configuration, then the price will be at least 300,000.
【3】4.04㎡ lighting area + environmentally friendly materials, sensory comfort
The car is an extension of the home, a home with a clear north-south view and a spacious view, which will make you feel happy and relax physically and mentally.
The car is a relatively confined space, and driving for a long time can affect the mood of passengers. According to the survey, 35% of drivers admit to having road rage, while in the 25- to 30-year-old age group, the proportion is as high as 63%. Therefore, a car with good lighting can relieve emotions.
The Versailles C5 X has the largest 4.04㎡ lighting area in its class, bringing transparent vision and lighting effects to make your mood feel comfortable. At the same time, the Clean cabin intelligent cleaning cockpit can automatically detect air quality, and if it detects poor external air quality, it will automatically switch to the internal circulation to prevent the outside polluted air from entering the car.
In the Versailles C5 X car, very environmentally friendly healthy and comfortable materials, such as raw fiber soundproof cotton, are also used, which will not be damp and moldy, and there will be no odor. The heavy use of water-based finished leather, water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives also greatly reduces the volatilization of benzene and organic gaseous substances.
So sitting in the car of the Versailles C5 X makes you feel the comfort of high quality both visually and olfactory.
[4] L2.5 C-Pilot automatic driver assistance system, intelligent comfort
With the advancement of intelligent technology, people are getting lazier and lazier. At home, even the curtains and toilets are intelligent, and they can be automatically controlled by hand. In fact, it is the same in the car, those who can look at each other will not bow their heads, and those who can automatically do not have to do it.
Versailles C5 X has a super intelligent technology configuration in the same class, the addition of color 3D eHUD head-up display function, so that you always keep a heads-up view, do not have to look down at the instrument; electric tailgate, it is also equipped with L2.5 C-Pilot automatic driving assistance system, in daily driving can also greatly reduce driving fatigue, but also make driving safer.
The 12-inch central control screen is used to operate the C-Connect 3.0 intelligent network system, and the hardware behind it is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A vehicle specification chip, which supports OTA upgrades and intelligent voice control, and provides rich audio and video entertainment functions. Moreover, as soon as you get on the car, you can automatically connect to wireless CarPlay, which greatly improves the convenience of mobile phone interconnection.
【Summary】:
Many people understand that comfort is that the space is large, the seat is soft, which is too one-sided!
The comfort of the car is a very complex system engineering, including the powertrain, suspension, seats, design, configuration and so on. So it's not an easy task to build a comfortable car. It can be said that a good car is not necessarily comfortable, but a comfortable car is definitely a good car!
Today, we live in a fast-paced society, social pressure, hard work day, the last thing we want is to relax as soon as possible. So if you also want to find a little peace and comfort in your busy life and work, then the Versailles C5 X is a comfortable car that can't be missed.
