As we all know, in the 200,000 or so joint venture SUVs, Japanese cars are very popular, like Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 Rongfang are many family users in the car selection of the focus of the object, compared to the United States, Korean and French cars appear to be a lot of niche, but also some people think that although the Japanese SUV sales are good, but the cost performance is not high, some time ago I was around a friend who planned to buy a car, after a comparison, he finally chose a Citroen Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS (hereinafter referred to as Tianyi C5), let's take a look!
Friends are 29 years old this year, the main purpose of buying a car is to commute to work, weekends can also take his girlfriend out to play, he himself is more like cars, think accord, Maiten are good, but the family insists that he buy an SUV, mainly for future consideration, the reason is that the practicality of the SUV is much stronger than the car, pull some large pieces more convenient, friends have not done too much insistence, after all, the money to buy a car is given by the family.
At first, like most people, he first considered the Japanese car, and Nissan X-Trail went directly to pass because the new model was equipped with a three-cylinder engine, and went to see the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 Rongfang. First of all, let's talk about CR-V, the main advantage of CR-V is that the space is spacious, and the seat is more comfortable, 1.5t power can only be said to be enough, the disadvantage is that the sound insulation is not good, the tire noise is particularly large, and the maintenance of Honda is more expensive, half a year or 5000 kilometers to maintain once, more expensive than BMW Audi.
Let's talk about RAV4 Rongfang, compared with CR-V, the sound insulation level of Rongfang is much better, and the later maintenance cost is more economical, but its space performance is not as good as CR-V, and friends think that rongfang's design is not very good, especially the interior, the suspended LCD screen in the middle looks too abrupt, so it is not very satisfied. Just because of the indecision, someone suggested that friends look at the Citroën Tianyi C5, the cost performance of the car is still very high, so the friend went to the store to test drive, did not expect to be optimistic at once.
Tianyi C5 and CR-V, Rongfang, are compact SUVs, but the price is more close to the people, friends bought is just listed co-creation version, the official guidance price of 16.87w, landing 19w early, and CR-V or Rongfang's automatic minimum model guidance price is 17.98w and 17.58w, and the configuration difference is a lot, Tianyi co-creation version In addition to some basic configurations, it is also equipped with front and rear radar, 360-degree panoramic image, PHC variable suspension, Electric induction trunk, keyless start, keyless entry, leather steering wheel, paddle shifter, full LCD instrument panel, imitation leather seats, seat power adjustment, matrix led headlights, mirror heating, induction wipers and automatic zone air conditioning, which are not available with low CR-V and Rongfang.
In addition to the configuration, Tianyi C5 in other aspects also make friends more satisfied, take the appearance, the design of this car is very personalized, the front face headlights use a split structure, the upper LED daytime running lights and chrome network are connected into one, and the lower near and far light integrated light group is connected to the intake grille, making the front face look very wide. The side profiles of the body are thick and thick, the ABCD columns are painted black, creating a déjà vu of the suspended roof, the rear of the car is very rounded and full, and the design elements of the rounded rectangle are used in the front surround, side skirt, taillights and exhaust pipe position, adding a cute feeling to such a behemoth.
Come to the car, compared with CR-V, Rong put full of plastic feeling, Tianyi C5 interior of the sense of grade is obviously much higher, this co-creation version of the interior using red and black two-color splicing, the center console uses a large number of leather soft bags, imitation leather seat feel very delicate, the overall design, workmanship is like a high-end French bag, rounded rectangular style air conditioning air outlet and appearance details are consistent, highlighting the sense of design, In addition, the car is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and 8-inch central control screen, with a delicate electronic barrier, the sense of science and technology is also very in place, to be honest, after sitting CR-V, Rong Fang and then sit into Tianyi C5, just like from the rough room to the hardcover room, the texture gap is really big.
Regarding the space, the wheelbase of Tianyi C5 is 2730mm, the size is larger than CR-V, Rongfang, although the Japanese car does have a set in terms of space utilization, especially the Honda CR-V, the rear row is very spacious, but Tianyi C5 is not at all downwind, friends are 1 meter 76 tall, sitting in the back leg There is still a margin of two fists, the head space is also relatively generous, the focus is that the rear floor is quite flat, even if it is full of three people, it will not affect comfort at all. In addition, the trunk loading capacity of Tianyi C5 is also good, the volume under normal state is 516L, which is enough to meet daily use, and the volume after reclining the seat can be extended to 1310L, which is also used to move and pull goods.
About the power, the friend's Tianyi co-creation version is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 211 horsepower, the maximum torque of 300 Nm, matching the Aisin 8-speed manual transmission, the power has nothing to say, a foot down the throttle can bring obvious push back feeling, 8AT gearbox shift is also very smooth, compared to Honda's 1.5T + CVT or Toyota's 2.0L + CVT is simply not a level, and the fuel consumption of this car is not high, The comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers given by NEDC is 6.2L, and the actual fuel consumption of friends is about 8L. Then there is the chassis, Tianyi C5 adopts the front McPherson independent suspension + rear torque beam non-independent suspension, the overall tuning is very European, but also equipped with PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology, the roll can play a good suppression when cornering, and it is also very stable on the high speed without drifting.
The above is the friend's car selection experience and some of the actual car experience of this Tianyi co-creation version, compared with the same level of Japanese opponents, this car in the configuration, materials, power and other aspects are obviously more generous, perhaps some people think that the French car retention rate is not as good as the Japanese car, but in the eyes of friends, the car is bought for themselves, safe, comfortable, good to drive the most important, and the French car reputation has always been good, the owner of the car is very recognized, I believe that the later period will not be disappointed, do not know what you think about this car?
