Hello everyone, I am Zhang Lixiang, it is my time again, this article is the seventy-eighth issue of "Hundred People Word of Mouth Comment new car". The protagonist of this issue is the Versailles C5 X of French descent. This car is a medium-sized five-door five-seat hatchback under Dongfeng Citroen, which officially opened pre-sale on August 9, 2021, and the manufacturer's guidance price range is 143,700-186,700 yuan. There are eight models currently on sale, including models 2021 and 2022. In the eyes of the owner, this C5 X from romantic France is not good to use? Take a look at this issue of "100 People's Word of Mouth Review New Cars"!
The first time I saw this car, it was really a little confusing, whether it was a sedan or an SUV? The "X" in the name of the car probably explains its identity, right? In the history of French cars, there has been no shortage of such works that jump out of the norm. Based on the EMP2 platform, it is very attractive in shape and full of French avant-garde design techniques. It is useless to have an avant-garde, domestic consumers pay attention to the more practical level of space, comfort, etc., so where are the owners satisfied with this car? What's the downside? Next, let's analyze the real use of the car through this issue of "100 People's Word of Mouth Review New Car".
>>>> published word of mouth for her car
What is word of mouth? Netizens who have read our previous articles may understand, here I will explain to you again, word-of-mouth evaluation can actually be simply understood as the use of eight major items of the car home certified owner's appearance, interior, comfort, control and space of the vehicle he owns, and give the corresponding score (the range is 1-5 points).
"100 People Word of Mouth New Cars" is a series of content launched by the car news team, we selected the protagonist of the content as a popular new car, and during this period, the number of autohome word-of-mouth participants exceeded 100 people. From the listing on June 22, 2019 to July 9, 2020, 354 Autohome certified owners have filled in the word-of-mouth content of the car, let's first take a look at the owners' impressions of this car.
■ Versailles C5 X impression label
On the Autohome Versailles C5 X model page, click on the "Word of Mouth" button to view the impression keywords of the car. "Low fuel consumption", "high configuration", "comfortable seats", "strong acceleration" are the places where owners are more satisfied with the Versailles C5 X; and "tire noise", "poor low speed and smoothness", "wind noise", "small vision" and so on are the parts that owners complain about more. Overall, low fuel consumption is the most impression keywords given by car owners, and high configuration is temporarily second, as for complaints, although there are several impression keywords, but the number is not much.
■ Versailles C5 X overall score: 4.54 points
The car's scoring performance is average, indicating that the performance is more comprehensive (the highest score is 4.91 for appearance, the lowest score is 4.58 for power)
Judging from the analysis results, the comprehensive score of versailles C5 X is 4.54 points, compared with the models participating in the scoring in the previous "Hundred Word-of-Mouth Evaluation New Cars" series of articles, it is at the midstream level, but seeing the score radar chart, its performance is quite average, and there is no obvious shortcoming. In a total of eight scoring items, the two with the highest scores are appearance and cost performance, which shows that users are quite satisfied with the design and price of Versailles C5 X. The performance of the power score is relatively low, probably because the car is equipped with a 1.6T engine, but it can provide good fuel economy.
■ Versailles C5 X appearance score: 4.91 points
The overall styling is stylish/the headlights are avant-garde
In fact, the design of the entire Versailles C5 X car can be said to be full of French innovation, in the same level, there are relatively few such "hatchback + hatchback shape" products (unless it is a Wagon model, although the speed pie is a hatchback, but there is also a tail), although it is different from our Chinese like "there is a head and a tail" habit, but the overall shape gives people a very avant-garde feeling. The car's lowest ground height is already as high as 193mm, but through the sliding line after the B-pillar, it creates a more streamlined feeling, and the whole car looks lighter.
The rear design of this car is also very interesting, which can echo the design of the front face. The overall shape is reminiscent of the feeling of seeing the Citroën BX for the first time as a child, which is very peculiar. This refreshing shape design is reflected in the appearance score of this car, which received a high score of 4.91. Jinan rider 7137996 mentioned: "The appearance is my favorite place, because its appearance is different from other cars, it feels more special, after going to the street, it feels that the return rate is particularly high, and I think this car looks good when it is taken", giving me a Jinyue mention: "This shape has been ahead of the world, and all models have begun to imitate it."
■ Versailles C5 X interior score: 4.62 points
Good interior material/ less odor
The interior of this car scored 4.62 points, which is not low. Although the interior of this car is less imaginative design (I think it is more "in line with the convention"), on the other hand, such a design is more acceptable to most consumers, the point is that the interior texture of this car is very good, after our actual experience, we think that the interior texture of this car can even compete with more than 200,000 models. The owner did not mention that "the interior has a delicate legal feeling, the workmanship in small places is very careful, and the characteristics of Citroën can be seen everywhere."
Although in the impression label of this car, there are 13 "small size of the central control screen", but in fact, the size of the car's central control screen is 10-12 inches, which is not small. However, in terms of smoothness, user slob01 said: "The car networking function needs to be strengthened, the voice control function pulls the crotch, the recognition is particularly slow, and the !!! ", in our long test article, it is also mentioned that the operation of the central control screen is slightly complicated, and it takes some time to get started.
The texture of this car is really addictive, even the details of the knob are very good. However, this car has a more peculiar place, that is, the front row only has a Type-C interface, and the rear row has only a Type-A interface, I don't know why there is such a wonderful design. There are also 6 impression labels of "no USB interface".
The feeling of the whole interior is that it is solidly made and the material is used, so that it has a good interior texture, and there is basically no jerky and frizzy feeling when it is touched and used, and although the entire interior is stacked with a variety of materials, it does not look messy, highlighting the design aesthetics of the French.
It is worth mentioning that many people said that they could not connect to CarPlay before, and after updating the system, our long-term test car can finally use the CarPlay function.
Many car owners also gave affirmation to the interior, and the owner of the Car, Chengdu, said 6783207: "The interior has a sense of design, no odor, and it is worth praising." Ye Xingchen 88 mentioned: "The overall design style of the interior is stylish, the distribution of the central control and shifting area is reasonable, which complements the color of the seat, the overall sense of science and technology is strong, and the soft plastic material used in the center console feels good." The instrument display is more legal, not to talk about good or bad to see personal preferences, functionally practical. The large screen resolution of the car machine is good and the display is clear." Of course, there are also a small number of car owners who reflect the phenomenon of stuttering and crashing of the central control screen.
2 Space / Comfort / Power / Control / Fuel Consumption / Cost Performance and Summary
■ Versailles C5 X Space Score: 4.75 points
The trunk is spacious and the storage space should be leveled at the same level
The car has a length× width× a height size of 4805× 1865 × 1505mm, and a wheelbase of 2785mm. Honestly, while you may not think it's outstanding just by looking at the data, when you actually get inside the car, you'll find that the rear knee space is impressive. When the 175cm tall experiencer adjusts the seat to the right position in the front row, the leg space in the back row is more than two punches. However, this car is not an SUV after all, the height of the car is relatively no advantage, when the front seat is adjusted to the lowest, the front row head space is about one punch, and the head space is slightly smaller than the front row, four fingers.
The storage space section is also the average for mid-size cars, both for ride storage and trunks. In addition, it is still necessary to mention the details of this car here, and there are leather wrapping around the front floor platform, which has a good visual and tactile performance.
Most owners think that the trunk space is generous, and the rear space is also performing well. The owner ap2hbl79wdr mentioned: "The ride space is large, and the trunk space is abundant. Big space, comfortable ride, big storage space." Owner Chengdu rider 9812905 said: "The front and rear space is very generous for the height of 1.81m, and the trunk space of 545L is even larger than expected, and the storage basket looks very empty inside."
■ Versailles C5 X comfort score: 4.79 points
The seat comfort is impressive
From the actual riding experience, the comfort of the front seats is good, and the support and wrapping are just right. The seat is wide and the cushion is very thick, which can provide the driver with good support and vibration, whether it is the feeling of just sitting up or after a long time of driving, it can give a comfortable experience, and at this price point, it also provides four-way headrests and six-way electric adjustment seats, and there will be no lack of configuration. The rear seat back angle and the recline angle of the seat surface are not large, which can take care of the rear passengers more properly.
When it comes to comfort, we must talk about the vibration damping of this car, this car uses the suspension structure of the front McPherson and rear torque beam, many people feel that the "torque beam" is not advanced enough, but most people can not distinguish the difference between the torque beam and the independent suspension with physical feelings. In fact, the French car has a very good set of adjustments to the chassis, and under the general household, the shortcomings of the torque beam are not necessarily highlighted, and there may be some positive impact on the trunk space.
Since we have not yet received a test car for the production model, the noise part will have to be paid attention to our report in the future. Regarding the comfort evaluation of this car, the user Liangchen Bo Dream Qingfeng Mian mentioned: "The chassis adjustment is very good, and the feeling transmitted to the car when passing the speed bump is soft and hard, which is very good!" Good comfort over short distances and good wrapping of the front seats." Another rider, Chifeng Rider, said 3590815: "The seat is comfortable, sitting on it feels like all the parts are applied, and it is still soft." However, some owners said that the rear seat cushions are slightly shorter, and there is some loss of leg support.
■ Versailles C5 X Power Score: 4.58 points
The full range of 1.6T/power is enough to accelerate well
In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.6T engine, perhaps seeing this power data, you will feel that there is no 2.0T data above 200 horsepower, but the performance of this engine has been verified on other models, and the reliability has been fully proven. Although the engine has not changed much, its partner has now been upgraded to Aisin's 8AT transmission, and there are not many models using Aisin 8AT transmissions in the price range of Versailles.
Honestly, 1.6T is completely enough, many users also said that the power output of this car is quite timely, the speed is very fast, but there are also some car owners who feel that the power performance is not enough for them to use, about the feeling of power, in fact, everyone is quite subjective, but also related to what car you have driven. At our previous test drive activities, we could also feel that the power performance of this car was brisk.
Turning over the word of mouth, the owners of friends for the Versailles C5 X power often mentioned keywords are: "enough power", "strong acceleration", "smooth gear change", the car is not opened in this way: "The power is much better than the previous self-priming car, very casual." The Aisin 8AT is much smoother than the previous 6AT transmission." Hangzhou rider 7366937 said: "1.6T engine. In normal mode, the starting acceleration is slightly slower, and in sports mode, the power is on call, the rear power is fully prepared, and the overtaking confidence is full. 8AT Aisin transmission matching PSA 1.6T engine, in the low speed of oil collection and refueling can feel the setback, I hope to improve after the first guarantee, in other cases the lift gear response is rapid, the power is smooth", it seems that the owners of the car's power evaluation is still good.
■ Versailles C5 X control score: 4.74 points
Good handling, flexible steering / solid chassis
As mentioned earlier, this car has good vibration damping performance and a comfortable ride. This set of PHC adaptive hydraulic suspension on the car is not a complex electronic technology, but there are multiple valve holes of different sizes in the shock absorber to control the flow rate of hydraulic oil, so different suspension compression/stretch amplitudes can bring different suspension damping characteristics, not only to ensure comfort, but also to obtain a good dynamic reaction in the corner. In actual experience, in the high-speed corners, it can bring good confidence to the driver, which is also the characteristic of French cars.
0661953, a car owner's home, mentioned: "I think the handling is very good, whether it is acceleration or deceleration or turning, the response is very fast." Citroën's chassis has nothing to say, the PHC adaptive hydraulic suspension is really comfortable, and it is very stable on all kinds of roads." Nanning rider 6744454 said: "Driving up the chassis is stable and solid, easy and confident in cornering, light steering wheel at low speed, running high speed is not afraid of steering wheel drift", it can be seen that most riders think that the chassis characteristics of this car belong to the comfortable orientation, but it does not sacrifice too much handling.
■ Versailles C5 X fuel consumption score: 4.6 points
In the word-of-mouth information of versailles C5 X, we can see that most users have given affirmation to their fuel consumption performance, and most of the users have fuel consumption performance around the level of 7L/100km. User Hu Yanzu said: "The original 1.2T Corolla, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.6L/00km, now Versailles comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km, has exceeded my expectations", Verne Racing owner 8281 said: "At present, the city's comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.8L/100km, the high speed is 5.8L/100km, such a large car, this fuel consumption is acceptable", in addition, "low fuel consumption" is also the most impression label, reaching 350, which shows that this car is really fuel-efficient.
■ Versailles C5 X value for money rating: 4.85 points
In terms of cost performance, the cost performance of the car is still good, the most word-of-mouth model is 2021 1.6T to enjoy extraordinary, the official guidance price of 143,700 yuan, such a large car but only sell the price of compact cars, it is very tempting. Car owners generally believe that the car is good value for money. The owner of the car said tomorrow tomorrow: "Only take the lowest match, I think the cost performance is very high, 160,000 landed cars, the cost performance I think is already one of the best, the same level of other brands of joint venture car light car logo is expensive tens of thousands, I don't know if it is really worth it? You can think about it."
