Dongfeng Citroen recently released the official picture of the new Tianyi 400THP Champion Edition model, and it is reported that this car will be officially launched on July 26. The exterior design of the new car features a series of unique elements that show a sporty style.
First of all, the front of the new car adopts a double-spoke front grille design, which is connected to the LED daytime running light clusters on both sides, forming a continuous design line. The front bumper also features through-type heat dissipation openings, with longitudinally arranged vents on both sides and cleverly concealed fog lamp clusters underneath. The processing of these details makes the entire front face more three-dimensional, and also increases the recognition of the vehicle.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a two-tone design, with a different color from the roof and the body, and a "C" style window frame is added to embellish it. In terms of body size, it is expected to be the same as the current model, which ensures both spacious interior and more agility on urban roads.
At the rear, the new car is equipped with a roof spoiler and rear window wipers, and the taillight cluster adopts a blackened lamp shell, and the internal light source presents a banner style layout, which has a certain degree of recognition after being lit. The rear bumper adopts a layered structure with a two-sided exhaust layout.
INSIDE, THE NEW CAR IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE SAME INTERIOR DESIGN AS THE 2023 VANTIC C5 AIRCROSS. The interior of the car is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 10-inch floating center display, so that the driver can easily access various information.
In addition, the new car will also be equipped with the C-CONNECT 3.0 interactive intelligent network system, which supports Baidu CarLife and Huawei HiCar mobile phone interconnection functions, AI virtual human intelligent voice interaction, OTA online upgrade, and AR navigation, providing drivers and passengers with a more convenient user experience.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm· meters, and the transmission part will be mated to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. This combination of power meets the demands of everyday driving while delivering handling.
However, just like any model, the Tianyi 400THP Champion Edition has some drawbacks. First, the price of the vehicle is relatively high and may exceed the budget of some consumers. Secondly, although the body size is moderate, the rear seat space is relatively small, which may be a little uncomfortable for long rides. In addition, some consumers may not have a high level of brand awareness and have reservations about Dongfeng Citroen's trust.
In general, Dongfeng Citroen's Tianyi 400THP Champion Edition model has a good performance in exterior design, interior configuration and power performance, but it also requires consumers to comprehensively consider their own needs and budget before purchasing.
