In the early years, China's automobile industry was still a blank, all supported by joint ventures and imported brands, Japanese, German, French, American, Korean, etc., a hundred flowers bloomed, in the Chinese market mixed with wind and water, fat and strong.
Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, whether it is an independent brand or a joint venture brand, it is different from the past. The rise of domestic production, the robbery of the market highland, and the joint venture camp has changed, it can be regarded as a first-line joint venture, only two fields and one day and the north and south of the public, other such as the United States, the French system, the Korean system, etc., all of them are going to decline.
In recent years, there have been some subtle changes in the automobile market, the United States and the legal system seem to have ushered in the second spring feeling, like Lincoln, Cadillac, etc., sincerity to give more, harvest more, in the second-tier luxury market to gain a foothold; and the French system relies on Citroën to turn the tide, a groundbreaking Versailles C5 X, once again to the French car to bring heat and volume.
After the Versailles C5 X, another important citroen model, Tianyi, will also usher in a mid-term redesign, and it is said that Citroën, which has regained its market rhythm, has spent a lot of effort on the new Tianyi.
At present, although the spy photo covers thick camouflage, it can still be seen that the mid-term redesign of Tianyi is generally consistent with the overseas version of the model, it adopts a new middle net, the light group shape has also been changed to a matrix integrated design, and the aura of the whole vehicle has been improved a lot compared to the old model.
The rear part of the car is also covered with a lot of camouflage, but through the general styling outline, the tail of the new Tianyi should not change much, but the style of the tail lights and logo may change.
In terms of interior, the new Tianyi is on par with versailles C5 X, which is equipped with a new large-size full-LCD instrument and a large-size suspension central control screen, replacing the original embedded central control screen; the original four-spoke steering wheel has been replaced by a three-frame type, and the through-type air conditioner air outlet has replaced the "8" shaped air outlet, and the chrome trim is used to decorate, the overall interior layout is more open, and the construction of the sense of science and technology is much stronger than the current model, and other parts have not disclosed more information for the time being.
The power part, because it is a mid-term redesign, so there is not much change, it is reported that the powertrain of the new Tianyi will be consistent with the current model, still providing two power options of inline four-cylinder 1.6T and inline four-cylinder 1.8T, and matching the 8-speed automatic transmission, of which the 1.6T version has 170 horsepower and 250 Nm peak torque, while the 1.8T version has a maximum horsepower of 211 hp and a peak torque of 300 Nm. There is also a possibility of a 1.6T plug-in hybrid version, which will be further announced at the Beijing Auto Show in April.
Its comprehensive strength to achieve Tianyi is not bad, if you have to test drive, you should be able to find that it is good whether it is mechanical quality, driving texture or overall workmanship, but it is affected by the decline of the Legal system, there is no dazzling performance, driven by Versailles C5 X, Tianyi also has signs of warming, coupled with the mid-term redesign optimization and upgrading of a lot, with the appropriate sales policy and marketing strategy, the overall sales should have a significant breakthrough.
