, especially Citroen brand, first relied on the product advantages of Versailles C5 X, preventing the downward trend of French cars and showing a steady recovery trend. However, for Dongfeng Citroen , relying solely on Versailles C5 X is not enough to achieve the recovery plan. So after Versailles C5 X, Dongfeng Citroen launched the mid-term facelifted model Tianyi BEYOND C5 AIRCROSSAIRCROSS.
As a compact SUV model, although Tianyi BEYOND continues the family-style design style, it still makes many detailed adjustments in localization. For example, the double-shaped LOGO is integrated with the double banners in the center and extends to the headlights on both sides. It not only has good ductility, but also makes the front face look more calm and atmospheric.

There are two air intakes at the fog lamps on both sides, which are larger in size than the previous model. The design of the fog lamp continues to be retained and is located on the lower edge of the front spoiler.
The side of the body is relatively smooth, and the A, B and C columns adopt black design, highlighting the suspended design style. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are: 4510/1860/1705mm, and the wheelbase is 2730mm.
rim uses 18-inch pulsar rims, and the specifications are: 225/55 R18. At the rear of the vehicle, Tianyi BEYOND basically continues the design style of the old model, but in terms of details, the new model has been redesigned. The taillights have eliminated the upper and lower "8" font design style used by the old models, and replaced them with more series of "Two-One" arrangements. The rear of the car also uses two chrome-plated decorative exhausts on both sides to highlight the sporty feeling. Inside the car, Tianyi BEYOND has also been redesigned, with a 10-inch floating high-definition touch display + 12.3-inch theater LCD digital instrument panel. Compared with the old model, it focuses on traditional layout, and the new car caters to the sense of technology and intelligence that young people pay more attention to today.
multi-function steering wheel adopts a double-slide double-D-shaped design, with a delicate and moderate grip. The two-side buttons of the steering wheel are multimedia and instrument panel control buttons, which are simple and clear in terms of operation. In addition, the high-end models are equipped with shift paddles and design to enhance the sense of sportiness.
In order to better cater to the trend of intelligence, Tianyi BEYOND is also equipped with C-CONNECT 3.0 BEYOND interactive intelligent networking system and MTK automotive-grade mobile chip, with four major black technologies: AI virtual human intelligent voice interaction, 360° panoramic parking image + transparent chassis, AR real-life navigation and immersive in-car entertainment center, to fully meet users' needs for technology and entertainment.
seats adopt a two-color design, and the entire series comes with the main and co-driver electric seats, and the high-end models adopt a leather/ALCANTARA mixed design, which not only makes the details look more comfortable, but also enhances a certain texture to the interior of the vehicle.

Although it is not equipped with a four-wheel drive system, the Citroen Grip Control multi-road condition adaptation system has five road conditions modes: highway, sand, snow, mud, and ESP. The enhanced intelligent multi-road condition adaptation system will reasonably allocate driving force according to the attachment conditions of each drive wheel, reduce the chance of wheel slipping, and ensure that the vehicle driver can start and accelerate smoothly on the ice and snowy road.
During the test drive, although the performance parameters of this car are not excellent, the overall driving experience is still very good. In the starting stage, Tianyi BEYOND will not be particularly abrupt. The power output of this car is very linear, and in the mid-to-late acceleration stage, there will still be a relatively obvious feeling of pushing back.
Thanks to the torque beam suspension adjustment, the chassis of this car is also relatively solid, which can not only ensure riding comfort, but also ensure the vehicle's support when the vehicle turns at a low speed. It is absolutely OK to meet daily family travel.
