Are today's young people so powerful? Two days ago, a student asked me about 150,000 yuan to buy a car with personality and high cost performance, and asked me to help analyze which one is suitable. I have to say that today's young people are really happy, just graduated with so many budgets to buy a car. So, I took him to see a joint venture brand B-class car that sold for more than 140,000 yuan - Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X, which is a very personal medium-sized car, and it is comfortable, richly equipped and cost-effective. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you my real-life shooting experience.
Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X is priced at 143,700-186,700, which is very sincere for a joint venture mid-size sedan. It is based on the EMP2 platform, the cross-border shape is highly recognizable, continuing the consistent personality concept of French cars, and the name of "Versailles" is inspired by the French Palace of Versailles, in order to pay tribute to the romantic French culture.
The car we saw looked very girlish after being pasted with a pink film, and the split headlight group on the front face had a clear division of labor, and the daytime light strip formed an "X" shape, and it was also fused with the car logo. The front of the car is flat and wide, with a black grille and silver surround at the bottom, and the overall design sense is still very obvious.
The crossover style of the body side is quite thick, the C/D column large area of black decoration forms the effect of the suspended roof, although the body height of 1505 cm is not much higher than that of ordinary cars, but the ground clearance reaches 19.3 cm, with the black plastic edge around the body belt, so that its upper body is like a car, and the lower body is like an SUV.
The car's tyres are 205/55 R19, the tyres are not very wide, but they don't affect grip, and they are also effective in reducing fuel consumption, which I think will be enough unless it goes off the track.
The rounded and full "big ass" at the rear is very sexy, and the design of the double tail wing on the tail compartment makes the sporty sense of this car suddenly improve a lot.
The car adopts a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, a 12-inch touch-and-touch central control screen also has a good sense of technology, and the car machine system is a new generation of C-Connect in-vehicle entertainment information system, which integrates all the basic functions in the car.
Sliding the car machine menu, you can see the voice assistant, media, navigation, real-time weather and other practical functions, and after getting on the car, you can connect the mobile phone with the vehicle, and you can wake up the small assistant by voice without using your hands during the driving, which is convenient and safe.
The car we photographed not only has seat heating, but also has advanced comfort features such as seat ventilation, seat massage, and eHUD color 3D head-up display, which is the conscience of the industry in this price segment.
In the era of intelligence, the Versailles C5 X is equipped with L2 level driver assistance system, including driver fatigue detection + warning, lane keeping, full-speed adaptive cruise, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, speed limit road sign recognition and a series of functions to escort passenger safety.
In fact, there is a detail design that impressed me, that is, the prompt light above the wireless charging area of the mobile phone, when the wireless charging is not used or can not be charged normally, it is displayed as red, when the mobile phone is put up and successfully charged, it becomes green, and the driver can see it with the afterglow of the eyes. The air conditioning control area is a physical knob + button, which is extremely difficult to get started. Although these designs are not much publicized, they can actually greatly reduce the safety hazards when driving.
Claudia leather seats feel more delicate, sitting up like trapped inside, two sets of memory functions so that each time the seat is adjusted only need to press a button, saving time and effort. Open the seat for massage, ventilation or heating when driving for a long time, and use two words to describe this feeling, that is "wonderful".
With a body length of 4805mm and a wheelbase of 2785mm, the Citroën Versailles C5 X is the mainstream mid-range car size. The guy who watched the car with me is 172cm tall and weighs 120kg, how much space does he have?
The front and rear rows are adjusted to his ideal sitting position, the front/rear row head has 4 fingers, it seems that the handsome back has a slight impact on the head space, but it is enough. There are almost 4 punches in the back legroom, which is quite spacious.
Surprisingly, even if the leg space in the car is large, the trunk volume has not shrunk, and with a flat platform, it can put down a lot of things. The privacy cover can well protect the owner's small secrets, and also prevent the occurrence of smashed car theft. The rear seats are reclined in 6/4 ratios for more flexible use of interior space.
Although it did not open up, but the Citroën Versailles C5 X is equipped with a 1.6T four-cylinder engine, the maximum power is 175 horsepower, the peak torque is 250 Nm, the transmission system matches the Aisin 8AT gearbox, only look at the parameters and configuration or have good strength, I don't know if the comment area has driven its friends, how to feel?
I have always had a good impression of French cars before, their unique personality makes me appreciate, the Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X taken this time is a typical French car, and it is more in line with the aesthetics of this era of French cars, driving it in the traffic flow, the recognition is low, coupled with spacious leg space, comfortable leather seats, rich technology configuration, I really think it is a good car worth buying.
