This time, Tianyi BEYOND also adjusted the appearance, which is consistent with the overseas version. The biggest change is in the front face. The new car adopts the new family design of Dongfeng Citroen . The overall style is a bit similar to Versailles C5 X, but because it is a SUV positioning, it looks taller.
The lower bumper also adopts a brand new design and adds the classic boomerang elements of the Citroen brand, which looks very visually impactful.
The side and rear of the body continue the style of the current model, without too many lines to modify it. The overall look is relatively round and full. The internal structure of the taillights has also been adjusted. It has been replaced from the previous round to a horizontal bar, and the purpose is to echo the front face. In addition, Tianyi BEYOND has also put a lot of effort into the design of appearance details, such as wheel hubs, lower surrounds and C-pillars, which is also a major feature of French cars. They can often show their uniqueness through some detailed designs.
Overall, Tianyi BEYOND's upgrade of appearance is more in line with our expectations. The front face has been replaced with the family's most new design, which can win the favor of young users today. For example, the popular Versailles C5 X is not only due to its positioning, but also the high-value appearance is also a great deal. Tianyi BEYOND has also gained inspiration from it, making his appearance worthy of evolution.
interior has more intelligent configurations, meeting the needs of young users
French cars have never lacked interiors, and every model of them can be unique, and the same is true for Tianyi BEYOND. The overall interior of the new car continues the design of the old model, and the overall style and appearance are highly unified. The large number of arc-shaped designs make it look more interesting than other models of the same level.
The main upgrade of the interior of the new Tianyi BEYOND lies in the central control area, which has been upgraded from the original embedded 8-inch central control screen to the current 10-inch floating central control screen. This also draws on the preferences of today's young users. Such a floating large-size screen can gain a better sense of technology.
And the smart car system built in this 10-inch screen is also fully upgraded. The entire UI interface is relatively simple and elegant, and the display effect and smoothness are very good. The car machine comes with Gaode map, application store, etc., which is very practical. In addition, Tianyi BEYOND also supports AR real-life navigation of the central control screen, which can project the screen to the central control screen or instrument panel through the front camera, especially at some complex intersections. Such navigation can also help you find your own route faster.
Although the overall interior has not changed much, Tianyi BEYOND still brings a sense of freshness to everyone by changing the central control screen and new color seats. The fully upgraded intelligent car system, in addition to conventional applications and intelligent voice interaction, also has AR real-life navigation functions, which is very rare among models of the same level. It can also be seen that Dongfeng Citroen attaches great importance to current user needs.
There are three models that were announced pre-sale this time, but all three models are equipped with different power systems, which fully meets a diverse needs of users. Among them, the Tianyi BEYOND 360THP model is equipped with a 1.6T engine with a maximum output power of 129 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, which is 4 kilowatts higher than the current 360THP model; the Tianyi BEYOND 400THP is equipped with a 1.8T engine with a maximum power of 155 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
Tianyi BEYOND PHEV model is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.6T engine + motor. The system has the highest output power of 221 kilowatts and the highest torque of 520 Nm. They are matched with Aixin 8-speed manual transmission.I believe that users who follow Dongfeng Citroen are very familiar with these three sets of power, with mature technology, excellent power performance, and good fuel consumption and stability.
In addition, for Tianyi BEYOND, it has to be mentioned that it is its suspension system, because people who have actually felt it can't help but praise it. The suspension system it is equipped with is the "PHC adaptive hydraulic stability technology" that can achieve the variable damping through the mechanical structure inside the shock absorber. When driving on relatively smooth roads, the suspension performance is very soft, which can filter out bumps and fine fragments on the road and obtain good comfort.
But when the suspension is hit by a greater impact, the shock absorber will become more resilient. On the one hand, it is to meet the subsequent impact and support the body, and on the other hand, it is to suppress the shaking of the body and reduce bounce. During continuous and rapid cornering, the suspension can also provide good support. So with the help of this set of suspension, Tianyi BEYOND has the comfort and control of the same level of recognition that "fish and bear's paw cannot be both". The price of
is low, and the configuration has been increased by
. Tianyi BEYOND has launched three models, with a price range of 152,700-231,700 yuan. This price range is actually not much different from the old models, so many friends will feel that there is no change, so that is actually a big mistake.
First, let’s look at the introductory version of Tianyi BEYOND 360THP, which is officially priced at 152,700 yuan. However, from the configuration information that has been published, we will find that it actually does not correspond to the old model of the entry-level model, but the medium-equipped 360THP Yuexiang model, with a guide price of 180,700 yuan. And compared to the old 360THP Yuexiang model, the new Tianyi BEYOND 360THP is priced at 28,000 yuan cheaper, but the configuration is higher, with more electronic gear handles, wireless charging of mobile phones, electric adjustment of co-pilot, 10-inch central control screen, OTA upgrades, etc., which are all very popular and commonly used configurations at present.
The old model corresponding to Tianyi BEYOND 400THP is configured as the 400THP Yuexiang model, with a price of 23,000 yuan lower, but the configuration is also richer, such as front radar, transparent chassis, electronic gear handlebar, wireless charging of mobile phones, electric adjustment of co-driver seats, 10-inch central control screen, AR real-life navigation, voice control, vehicle networking, WI-Fi hotspots, mobile APP remote control, rear privacy glass, etc. The vehicle experience will be greatly improved.
This situation is also reflected in the PHEV version, so in terms of configuration, Tianyi BEYOND has indeed been much upgraded compared to the old models, and the overall product competitiveness has been greatly improved.
Summary:
Through the above, we will find that Tianyi BEYOND has a great upgrade in appearance, interior and configuration, and has also shown more sincerity in guiding the selling price, and its competitiveness has indeed been greatly improved. Among the three models, I recommend to you the Tianyi BEYOND 400THP. Although it is 17,000 yuan more expensive than the 360THP, it has stronger power and richer configurations. It is the most cost-effective model and is very likely to become the main sales model in the future.
