When it comes to French cars, most people would burst out of my mind “does not hedge “” wonderful design “,” button against humanity “and so on. Perhaps this is the law brand sales in the domestic market is not one of the reasons not warm fire. However, the real people who understand French culture, to open a French cars, romantic and full of surprises, is not that the true meaning of life thing.
And Method brands Citroen to launch the first plug-in hybrid vehicle Yat C5 AIRCROSS PHEV four-wheel drive version, although a little late to enter the electric market, but its technology is still on the cutting edge of the times.
Here we must point out, Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS overseas also plug mixed version, but the country and this has a very big difference. Citroen Yat PHEV more days after a motor, thereby realizing an electric four-wheel drive, and rear suspension link has become five from the previous cash torsion beam, and a rear axle system which are independently developed by a Citroen.

most people would think that French cars in the entire automobile design circles are more advanced, the new version of the plug mixed Tianyi appearance models and fuel remained the same, the headlights still LED daytime running lights are eyebrow, stylish and chic style.
but made some minor changes in the details, such as parts denoted by the fender HYBRID unique hybrid vehicle / PLUG-IN identifier.
Body length and breadth dimensions are 4510 * 1860 * 1705mm, 2730mm wheelbase positioning the compact SUV.
rear closer look will find some hybrid models specific elements, such as a line tail “PHEV 4WD” identification.
trunk volume is 461 liters, and fuel storage space beneath the shield plate indeed, compared models a little small, but canceled the spare tire.
on the one hand because of the suspension structure changes into the current five-link torsion beam from the original, so the bottom part of the space occupied by the suspension. On the other hand since the driving wheel of the original space occupied by the battery of the tank, the tank capacity nobility PHEV models from the lift 53 to 43 liters, as in fact inserted mixed models, reducing fuel consumption can be offset by the negative impact the fuel tank becomes small.
At present, the new car offers only two color white and gray, but only white models on the part of the color was changed to blue trim in order to highlight its new energy properties.
interior refinement, luxury and technology co-exist
12.3 inches LCD instrument panel and 8 inches in the control panel meet the current mainstream configuration, the driving time in addition to the display driving mode, such as hybrid electric , sports and four-wheel drive, electric-life may also be displayed in the information and control the liquid crystal instrument panel.
is inserted as a mixed vehicle simultaneously, some details of the vehicle also made conform electrified changes, such as electronic gear lever B for the new kinetic energy recovery, while the right lever in the driving mode switching also increases, power output mode for easy selection.
Electric four-wheel drive, without fear unimpeded snow [ 123]
Although the appearance of the interior and fuel similar models, but the power configuration is the highlight of the day Yat PHEV. Citroen previous family SUV precursor majority, this time it turned into a four-wheel drive, but it’s not our familiar four-wheel drive transmission system, instead of using the “P0 + P2 + P4” three machine architecture.
Exclusive 1.6T PHEV mounted engine and front and rear dual high power motor “three four engine drive “power system, the front wheels are driven by a common engine and a motor, and a motor disposed at the rear axle position, it is driven by the rear wheels, which is called” electric four-wheel drive. ”
at the data level, nobility PHEV integrated maximum power of 300 horsepower, integrated peak torque of 520 cattle meters, the transmission system before the match Aisin eight-speed manual gearbox, after a single gear transmission, the official hundred mph time of 7 seconds, 58 km of pure electric mileage, NEDC fuel consumption of 1.7 l 100 km.
has become a suspension structure McPherson / multi-link, and with an electronic power steering. Since such a big change in the structure, then in the end how it kind of driving experience?
look at this 1.6T engine, the maximum power of 200 horsepower and peak torque of 300 Nm. In theory, the greater the turbine under the same conditions will inevitably lead to more delay, perhaps the data is not very satisfactory. But it does not matter, anyway, is to rely on low speed motor drive, hysteresis is also in the actual driving feel.
Even ignoring small motor BSG, the entire integrated hybrid power system still reached 300 hp, 520 Nm of torque. However, the official announcement of its one hundred kilometers acceleration time even to seven seconds, which should be slower than most of the 250-horsepower car on the market.
However, after I actually experienced zero one hundred accelerated, I probably understand them the reason. First, after the foot throttle kick in the end, the power of the motor in response to slightly lag, the output power is also a process of rising, this pure electric vehicles and many kind of rude rapid acceleration somatosensory very different.
However, after the motor is operating at full capacity less than 1 second, the engine really began to intervene. This is it related to the front axle drive system, because before the motor and engine power have to go through the gearbox, it accelerates the whole process, you can clearly feel the shifting action. Fortunately, the rear axle has been in continuous output motor, so there is no obvious power interruption.
In general, this powertrain in the face of high power demand, quick response is not a pure electric vehicle. In fact, if not Bigfoot throttle acceleration, the daily driving dynamic response is also good, I mixed in line with expectations for a motor car.
summary
In recent years, French cars in the Chinese market encountered unprecedented challenges, and at this critical moment, Dongfeng Citroen comprehensive reform strategy still be electrified, and I hope along with Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS market for new energy vehicles, and the subsequent introduction of electrification products, Citroen able to embark on the road to recovery.
