Versailles C5 X Long Test: Always calm down, the real car use experience of French flagships is revealed
Last month's Chengdu Auto Show , Dongfeng Citroen had a Versailles C5 X assisted the auto show, and the car media asked the full Free car use event. No matter how you try, it depends on you.
So at this auto show, a very interesting phenomenon occurred. Major automakers in the exhibition hall were competing for beauty, and outside the exhibition hall, there were army of Versailles C5 X. It is indeed no exaggeration to talk about it as the "top star" of the Chengdu Auto Show.
Versailles C5 X is a popular model of Dongfeng Citroen, and is one of the "magic works" of Shenlong in recent years. This test drive lasted for about 2 and a half days. Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of this car, it was a deep test drive on the road section during peak periods. When I took the picture below, it was already a day after the test drive. I specially found a relatively uncrowded place and took a real shot. Seeing that it was half past September, I submitted a report of late but full of true test drives to everyone as usual. For reference by all riders.
First of all, it looks like this car. Although the Citroen CXexperience concept car had already predicted the future shape of Versailles C5 X, frankly speaking, the author did not think that Dongfeng Citroen would really be highly restored.
After all, the concept car of French cars has always been amazing, but after mass production...it's not the same thing... So just considering the mass production and restoration of concept car, this car has won the best of most French car fans and the people who were originally watching.
on the market for more than a year, and it is still the "French" in the current auto market. First of all, it has the famous two-half-half body of Dongfeng Citroen, and at the same time it has opened up a new path, creating a species beyond the public's cognition - a sloping B-class sports car sedan + station wagon + SUV = Versailles C5 X
But what's amazing is that this comprehensive development of Versailles C5 X not only does not have the sense of splicing monsters, but is also particularly beautiful. I will only post pictures here. After all, it has been on the market for more than a year. When it comes to design, you can only know: [Omitted]
What I want to talk about is the comprehensive body shape of Versailles C5 X, what kind of scene is it to be used in daily life.
First of all, it is the body shape of a station wagon-like body shape, how much can the Versailles C5 X hold?
I personally think that the station wagon is one of the elegant ones in daily commuting cars. The point is that it looks good and can be installed. For example, after the rear seats are folded down, the Volvo V60 supports the author to lie down completely (the author is 186cm tall).
Versailles C5 X is 4805/1865/1505mm in length, width and height, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2785mm, and the trunk depth space is quite enough. It is usually 545L, and there are 1640L after the seat is down. For reference, the trunk space of the Volvo V60 is between 529-1441L.
rear seats are folded down. How deep is the trunk of Versailles C5 X? The author cannot give a specific number without a ruler. It is currently more than 190cm, because I still have room after lying down (the author is 186cm tall), and I will put a mat on the bed when I go out.
Moreover, the trunk of this car is very large, open and close at least 2 meters, which is very convenient for use. When two people travel, they don’t have to consider how to place the items. Moreover, the floor car is not as tall as an SUV. If you want to carry heavy objects, it will be very friendly to small people or girls!
In terms of space expansion, Versailles C5 X is a travel wagon after all. You can also gracefully place a travel rack on the roof, with a low body, and it is more convenient to pick up things than SUV models.
is followed by the body shape of the SUV, how powerful/pass rate of the Versailles C5 X is.
Versailles C5 X is equipped with a 176-horsepower 1.6T engine, matched with an Aixin 8AT manual-automatic transmission, without three cylinders and dual clutch, perfectly avoiding the minefields of domestic consumers.
The character of the vehicle itself belongs to a very quiet and comfortable category. During the entire test drive, gear shifting and upshifting were almost subtle enough to be unaware.
is idle picks on most cars. The author also tried it. The response is very fast. If you press it, you will downshift and there is no gear shifting action. Versailles C5 X will also remain in manual mode for a while, giving you time to react before exiting. The re-acceleration capability of high-speed is also very OK, and there is no problem of rapid acceleration and jitter.
chassis is suspended using PHC adaptive hydraulic stability technology.
There is nothing to say about this. Dongfeng Citroen's chassis foundation is there. Some small vibrations are filtered cleanly, and the comfort is so impressive. The lateral support will appear tough when the suspension is compressed to a certain level, and the steering is also a very lightweight category.
plus the ground clearance of this car is indeed high. Generally, urban SUVs are about 180mm-200mm, while the ground clearance of Versailles C5 X reaches 193mm. What does this mean? Its "cousin" Tianyi is 204mm. The pass rate is basically the same as that of urban SUVs.
And the B-class family sedan, how does Versailles C5 X feel?
Versailles C5 X front seats have six adjustments, and a lumbar support with four adjustments. The author weighs 200 catties, and there is nothing to be picky about. The rear space deserves great praise. Some netizens said before getting the car:
"Versailles C5 X has the second row of the 5-seater car mass-produced by Dongfeng Citroen in recent years, which is comparable to the second row of space performance in the 5008 five-seater state."
test, it is indeed the case. The second row of this car is really spacious enough. The seat cushion is moderate in length and the inclination angle can also produce effective leg support. In the semi-lying state, the author still has some leg space left.
As for the interior, many car friends said that it was finally "normal" - there was no steering wheel that could not move in the middle, no large front windshield and sinking instrument panel. Instead, it is replaced by large screens, large instruments, electronic files, and HUD. The visual beauty is absolutely in line with the current aesthetics.
But "beauty" is very subjective. The author prefers the design of the previous model (C5). However, it should be mentioned that the details of Versailles C5 X did not contain the French's maverickness.
For example, many people complained that this car integrates the air conditioner into the car machine, and it is still inconvenient to use it on the secondary page... In fact, this is not the case. In fact, Dongfeng Citroen has arranged "air conditioning adjustment" on the physical buttons.
, the last point, the cost of using the car: the real fuel consumption of this car.
During the Chengdu Auto Show, the temperature was basically above 40 degrees. Due to the power limit in the hotel in the area where I am located, during the use of this car, I turned on the air volume of the air conditioner to a large extent. Except for some of the parts involved in the next day, all the highway sections were congested in the city. The two of them put the shooting equipment and luggage on them. The overall fuel consumption of the watch is about 8.4L-8.5L.
Theoretically, the highway road conditions are more, and if the speed is increased to about 100, the fuel consumption performance will be much lower.
So what kind of people is this car suitable for?
In my impression, when participating in French car brand activities, we often see the organizers working very carefully to create a French petty bourgeois and romantic atmosphere. To a certain extent, Versailles C5 X is a good carrier of this style. If you are a friend who loves exquisite camping, short-distance self-driving trips, yearning for poetry and distant places, this car can basically meet your rigid needs for traveling far and wide: you can go farther places, your space is amazing, and you can carry all your plans, and your power is smooth and your adaptive hydraulic stability technology is very comfortable for driving or riding.
car is ready, then Il y a tant de chooses intéressantes à voir . Mais par où commencerons-nous notre promenade ?
