With all due respect, the French car pressed volkswagen and Toyota to the ground and rubbed it without resistance. 160,800 landing Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X 1.6T enjoy extraordinary, although it is the entry-level version, I think this configuration is already very enough, plus Wuhan Replacement purchase of fuel vehicles there is a 2,000 yuan subsidy, the comprehensive calculation of the cost performance is still quite high. Some friends questioned why I did not buy Volkswagen, Toyota, advanced fuel saving is not bad, but also to see Volkswagen Sagittarius and Toyota's Asiatic Lion, personally test drive a circle, or think that Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X design, comfort, technology configuration to crush the same price of competitors, 143,700 yuan starting price, the key landing price is cheaper than Sagitar, Asiatic Lion.
I don't think about the French car is not hot-headed, because I am the owner of the old Citroën Tianyi, including the first training car I came into contact with during the driving license stage, so what is the French car, only those of us who have driven the car really understand. As for why I chose the Versailles C5 X crossover model, it was completely the self-driving trip that we spontaneously organized during the last National Day holiday.
Now there are more and more ways to relax during the holidays, and self-driving is a relaxed and casual way to decompress, bring the whole family, meet three or five friends, and enjoy the tranquility and comfort away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We have a total of three families and three cars, starting from Wuhan City, on the way will experience urban roads, highways, bumpy mountain roads, and finally arrive at the Enshi Grand Canyon, feel the unique customs and customs of the Tujia family, the three cars driven by ourselves are Citroën Tianyi, Nissan Xuanyi, and a friend just mentioned the Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X.
Considering the long-distance ability of the elderly and children at home, we stop and go along the way, and we will stop and turn around in the service area with large basic traffic, and participate in this strange and lively atmosphere. Every time you rest, there is always no shortage of people who come to nag a few words, showing a strong interest in Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X, but also understand, may be used to seeing cars and SUVs modeling, such a "Versailles" shape is indeed quite eye-catching, hear people around the car praise this car is good-looking, friends face is happy to blossom.
The appearance of French cars has always been never followed, the design language of Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X has somewhat subverted many people's stereotypes of traditional fuel vehicles, the flat "X-type" mech front face extends left and right, the upper and lower split running lights and the near and far headlights group outline the contour full and three-dimensional, LED light source and the whole series of standard. The corrugated black active intake grille of the lower lip, in addition to increasing the lively visual effect, can also provide the engine with air delivery and effective heat dissipation.
4805/1865/1505mm body size has been fully in line with the size of a medium-sized car, but the actual standing next to this car will feel that it is larger and longer, which reflects the Dongfeng Citroen design skills are very "Versailles", sneaky design will make this car look particularly slender, the entire surface transition smooth, the tail of this suspension double tail to pull the sense of movement to the extreme. Even the four 19-inch double diamond cut-off wheels are designed with an aerodynamic concept, and the diversion provides heat dissipation for the brake discs.
The large hatchback at the rear of the car is generally difficult to see on hundreds of thousands of bodies, in addition to the handsome shape, the opening angle of the large function will be stronger, the volume of 545L is much larger than that of the general car, and the rear seat can be extended to 1640L after it is reclined, so even if the personnel are fully loaded, the family's luggage is completely at ease.
Entering the cockpit, Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X has a strong sense of embrace, feeling that the design layout of the entire car is human-centered, the 12-inch LCD color suspension screen is displayed clearly, the entire center console is partially layered and retains a large number of physical buttons, for some basic function adjustments, you can do fast and accurate blind exercises. The basic hand touches the place is leather, plastic material, the touch is very comfortable, and some decorative panels will also have rich decorations to increase the sense of luxury in the car.
The traditional mechanical gear lever is eliminated, the button design is more refined and space-saving, and the button gear side directly adds two more cup holder positions.
For a medium-sized car, space is also a selling point that many consumers pay more attention to. With a wheelbase of 2785mm, the back row of the Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X is good, and I sit in the back row of 78 meters tall and have more than two punches redundant. However, the disadvantage is the slippery back design, or a certain extent affects the head stretch, the performance of the two fingers is not rich, fortunately, there is a larger size canopy design at the top of the head, which increases the sense of upward space and will not make the people in the car feel too depressed.
Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X This CAC leading comfort seat is not worse than the Japanese large sofa at all, because the interior uses high density and multi-layer filled structured foam, the whole seat has a good sense of support and wrapping for the human body, even if it is a long ride, it can also play a certain role in alleviating fatigue.
The service area was almost rested, we were ready to go again, the car addict I discussed with my friends to change the drive, I also want to experience the Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X driving experience in the end. Equipped with Dongfeng Citroen's newly upgraded 1.6T turbocharged engine, the peak torque is 250N·m, which can burst 175 horsepower, and can output maximum torque at 1750 rpm, and can last up to 4500 rpm. Therefore, the entire power reserve is completely abundant, this engine is particularly quiet, and the rapid acceleration state will not have the harsh roar of Japanese cars. On a section of the hill around the hill, I switched from comfortable economy mode to sport mode, and the power can still give enough support confidence.
Matching the imported Aisin 8AT transmission, the entire start-up and acceleration process can hardly feel the existence of gear shifting, and the tuning of the engine and the gearbox puts the smoothness and comfort of the whole vehicle in the first place, and the power connection performance is linear. The whole journey down, the fuel consumption is only 5.8L / 100 km
The solid thickness of the French chassis I am not worried, the general daily city road or high speed, Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X front McPherson rear torque beam non-independent suspension performance is basically the same as the front and rear solo suspension car, I am more concerned about its ability to walk bumpy road in the end. After getting off the highway into a section of the Enshi Grand Canyon around the mountain road, the magic carpet suspension of the Citroën Versailles C5 X did not disappoint, and the adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology of the whole series is standard, facing the non-paved road, it can also be a good way to isolate the bump filter outside the car, and there will be no too obvious large jumping inside the car to cause people to be dizzy.
As a joint venture brand fuel vehicle that is not too highly priced, the technology configuration of Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X is also armed to the teeth. Keyless entry, foot induction electric tailgate, one-button start operation is elegant and convenient, 3D color eHUD color HD lift further weakens the role of the dashboard, the rich data information is clearly projected on the strong gear glass, more in line with viewing habits and improve driving safety.
Intelligent assisted driving technology is also an indispensable quality requirement of modern cars, Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X is equipped with L2.5 C-Pilot automatic driver assistance system, which can realize parallel assist, lane shift warning, lane keeping assist, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, fatigue reminder and other functions. Therefore, in the face of low traffic on high-speed roads, a comprehensive driver assistance system will allow drivers to release a certain amount of energy and alleviate driving fatigue.
After more than 8 hours of driving, we finally arrived in Enshi Banqiao Town, checked into a pre-booked hotel, and recharged for tomorrow's canyon trip. The long-distance self-driving along the way also gave me a deep understanding of the Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X car, so in the later comparison test drive process, I was more aware of what I wanted to buy a car. #挑战凡尔赛 #
