Model introduction
As a facelift model of the current Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS, Tianyi BEYOND has changes in appearance and interior, keeping the same configuration as the overseas version. It has also been upgraded compared to the current model.
In terms of appearance, Tianyi BEYOND adopts an expanded aesthetic design. The overall design has a sense of power, technology and the future, making the overall appearance more youthful and majestic.
The changes of the new car are mainly concentrated in the front face. Xingkong Shuo's current face has been carved with three-dimensional structural lines to form a strong and powerful visual appearance. The new center grille and " double Chinese characters "The LOGO and the headlights on both sides form a through-type design, making the front of the car more layered.
The side of the body has not changed much. The cool and powerful front apron with strong practical design, and the dynamic18-inch Pulsar wheels with diamond cutting technology and two-color design infinitely expand the visual space. Make the side of the car body look more dynamic.
The rear of the car is round and full as a whole, and is equipped with new horizontal double-layer taillights that echo the headlights, making them highly recognizable when lit.
In terms of dimensions, the new car’s length/ width/ height are: 4510mm/1860mm/1705mm, wheelbase 2730mm. The height is increased by 35mm compared to the current model. The size is similar to the current CR-V, Tuyue and other compact SUV, and it is expected to have good space performance.
In terms of color scheme, Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi BEYOND has 4 body colors including Chinese Red, Pearl White, Qingyan Grey, and Iceberg Blue. In addition, considering that users are greedy for the blue body of the European version of Tianyi BEYOND, Dongfeng Citroen has provided a special solution to provide users with multi-color personalized car clothing to realize their car love "It depends on your ” experience.
As for the interior, it still draws on the romance and elegance of French luggage.It provides 2 interior colors: sea blue elegant gray (400THP) and night sky gray (360THP), using Morandi’s fashionable color matching texture with delicate touch, and Chevron stitching, steering wheel and other Citroen family design elements can be seen everywhere. The small-sized double-spoke sports steering wheel is paired with a yacht-style electronic shift lever, which has a good sense of youth and fashion.
12.3-inch theater-style LCD digital instrument panel is paired with a 10-inch central control screen. The dual-screen interactive custom design can be changed at will. In terms of Internet of Vehicles, it is equipped with C-CONNECT 3.0 BEYOND interactive intelligent network connection system and MTK car-grade machine chip. In addition to conventional intelligent voice interaction, it also supports instrumentation The AR real-life map navigation on the dashboard and central control screen is very practical.
In terms of power, Tianyi BEYOND is equipped with 1.6T 360THP and 1.8T Three power options are available: 400THP and PHEV. The 1.6T engine has a maximum power of 129kW and a maximum torque of 250N. span>·m, the power is increased by 4kW compared with the current 360THP model; The maximum power of the 1.8T engine is 155kW, and the maximum torque is 300N·m, which is consistent with the current model. They match Aisin
In terms of chassis, the fuel version uses a reinforced MacPherson front suspension and a deformable beam rear suspension. The suspension system of "PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology" has always been Citroën's specialty.A hydraulic buffer system is added to the upper and lower ends of the shock absorber. Through the unique technology of variable convection hole cross-sectional area, the shock absorber can be adjusted according to different conditions.Different damping is adapted to the same road surface, and precise design and calculation can fully guarantee comfort, power and freedom, and achieve magic carpet-like smoothness and comfort.
The
PHEV version adopts a five-link independent suspension with a 45° inclined layout of the shock absorbers, which can achieve better control with unique adjustments. The stability and support make cornering smoother.
Configuration analysis
The biggest change of Tianyi BEYOND compared to the current model is the upgrade of standard equipment. The 360THP version comes standard with LED headlights, 18-inch large wheels, 12.3-inch LCD instrument, reversing image, 15W Configurations such as wireless charging have reached the entry-level standard and can basically meet the configuration needs of most people.
Comparing the Tianyi BEYOND 360THP version with the 21st model Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS 360THP version, you will find that even though the guide price is reduced by 7,000 yuan, the configuration has been significantly upgraded, which is enough to show that the new car has improved in terms of cost performance and completely surpasses the current model. car model. It is a pity that CarPlay, a very practical function, has been cancelled, but even so, for people with a limited budget, buying the Tianyi BEYOND 360THP version now will not suffer at all.
In terms of optional packages, I personally think that the most cost-effective is the smart driving package. The 360° panoramic image + transparent chassis can help novices better adapt to the boundaries of the new car. The C-CONNECT 3.0 system has in-car App applications, Huawei HiCar, and online navigation Functions such as this are also very practical.
But the version that I personally recommend the most is actually the 400THP model. Although the price is 17,000 yuan more than the 360THP, the new configurations are worth the price, not to mention the 1.8T engine, which gives it the power advantage. The better driving experience it will bring in the long term cannot be measured by money, so although it will cost an extra 17,000 yuan, the return will be much higher than this value, and it is the most cost-effective.
The 400THP model also has two optional packages to choose from. Comparing the sunroof package and the comfort package, we can see that the smart package is relatively more cost-effective, because the price of the electric tailgate is 3,000 yuan, and the rest is equivalent to For 7,000 yuan, you can buy the ADAS driving assistance system and AQS air quality monitoring, which can comprehensively improve driving safety and a healthy environment in the car. It is definitely worth the money.
The Tianyi BEYOND 1.6T PHEV version is equivalent to an increase of 62,000 yuan on the basis of 400THP. Although it has dual motors and a 12.96kWh battery pack, the configuration has been reduced a lot, so it is not cost-effective. Moreover, there are many promising compact plug-in hybrid SUVs in the RMB 150,000 class currently on the market.The price-performance ratio of Tianyi BEYOND PHEV is not very high, so this version is more suitable for people who like French cars and have green license requirements.
The Tianyi BEYOND PHEV model only provides an all-in-one option package, priced at 30,000 yuan, but many of the new configurations are not used frequently. From a practical point of view, the price is not worth buying, so it is more suitable for people with a sufficient budget. People who demand a high-end experience.
Editor's comment: The fully upgraded Tianyi BEYOND not only has a younger design, but also has higher configuration and cost-effectiveness. The romantic style and inherited driving quality of French cars are also its unique advantages. , the whole car has no obvious shortcomings, and coupled with the manufacturer's multiple preferential policies for car purchases, it is foreseeable that the new car will show stronger competitiveness in the compact SUV market. Of course, the unique design of French cars has always made it difficult for them to become popular models. Instead, they only belong to a specific group that appreciates them. It may be difficult for Tianyi BEYOND to have a large sales increase in the short term, but it is undeniable that it Still a good car.
Finally, according to Bitauto App data, Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS ranks 34th in popularity among joint venture compact SUVs, with an average daily attention of 16,600. For more information, you can check out Bitauto App.
