This also shows to a certain extent that the comprehensive strength of Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi BEYOND's driving experience and other driving experience has been recognized by the industry. Such a French car has been launched on August 16, with the official guide price of three models being 152,700-231,700 yuan, and four colors are available: "Pearl White", "Chinese Red", "Blue Rock Gray" and "Far Mountain Blue". However, each model has different target consumers and the suitable users are also different. How to find the model that suits you more? Let’s see below.
Tianyi BEYOND 360 THP official guide price: 152,700
French cars have experienced from mainstream to marginalization in China, largely because only the top-end version can be seen, and models below the top-end version are very different from it. This new car has no such disadvantage. Although the Tianyi BEYOND 360 THP is only an entry-level model in the entire series, the power system is equipped with a combination of a 1.6T engine and an Aixin 8AT gearbox, and the interior configuration has not been left behind. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and 10-inch central control display have greatly improved the interior technology sense.
also has front electric seats, automatic temperature partition air conditioning, wireless charging of mobile phones, keyless entry and start, reversing radar and reversing image function, etc. These functions make the car more user-friendly and allow users to experience more convenience and comfort. Although it is the entry-level version, the configuration has surpassed the same level and has a good cost-effectiveness.
Tianyi BEYOND 400 THP Official guide price: 169,700
Tianyi BEYOND 400 THP price has been increased by 17,000 yuan compared to the entry version. Although there is no obvious upgrade in configuration, it is almost the same as the entry version, but the power has been greatly improved. This version of the new car is equipped with a stronger 1.8T engine, suitable for users who like to experience the ultimate power.
In addition, compared with the entry-level 400THP, it also has rear privacy glass, and it covers the C-pillar and rear windshield. This detail can protect user privacy to a greater extent. The seat material has also been upgraded to Alcantara+leather, and the details experience has been improved. In terms of smart entertainment, the new car also has AI virtual human intelligent voice interaction system, AR real-life navigation, online music/radio/video/K songs, multi-theme interface and custom desktop, multi-scene mode, mobile phone mapping, OTA online upgrade and Citroen APP and other functions, adding more entertainment experience.
In addition, 400THP can also be equipped with ADAS enhanced configuration, and the entry-level version does not have this option, so you can choose whether you need it independently. In fact, in this regard, it is not much different from the entry-level version. The only difference in power is actually a perfect need for the entry-level version. In some daily commuter cities, 1.6T is completely sufficient to use, so this version is only recommended for users who pursue strong power.
Tianyi BEYOND PHEV Official guide price: 231,700
As the top version of the entire series, the price of the PHEV (plug-in hybrid model) has also been directly raised by 62,000 yuan. It can be said that it directly widens the quality gap with the previous two versions of the models. In terms of power, the system's comprehensive power is as high as 221kW, and it also has a 49km (WLTP) pure electric range. However, although the cliff-style price increase seems to have only motivation for consumers, in addition to the safety/technology configuration as standard, other additional configurations still require optional equipment. For example, the PHEV model has privacy glass, high-end front seat adjustment, front parking radar, 360 parking assist, rain sensor wipers and ADAS enhanced configurations all require optional installation. In this regard, the price of this version has been greatly increased, and the corresponding price increase has almost only the power, and the cost-effectiveness is not high, so this version is not recommended.
summary:
Tianyi BEYOND 360 THP As the entry-level version of the entire series, it has a relatively rich configuration, which is a good price-performance ratio, while the other two versions have only the price increase and the power increase; the increase in practical configuration and high-end configuration is not obvious, so the 360 THP version of the entire series is still the most recommended in terms of cost-performance ratio.
