The electronicization of Dongfeng Citroen C2 has also reached a high level, with a new generation of electrified structure-Che Ling network, which has obvious advantages in the same class. Multiplex network connects all electronic components and is managed by intelligent control box (BSI), which centralizes all electrical functions. Multiplex transmission system can also provide many additional functions, such as forgetting to pull out the key alarm, forgetting to turn off the light alarm and other practical functions.
C2 is another brand-new innovation masterpiece of Dongfeng Citroen, and it is the crystallization of Citroen's technical advantages and rich management experience in small car production for more than 80 years. C2 combines the contemporary advanced technology in Europe, represents the latest styling style in Europe, creates a brand-new safe and comfortable driving experience, and brings consumers multiple benefits such as strong power performance, brand-new high-tech equipment, dynamic modeling and safe driving pleasure.
Specifically, C2 has the following ten advantages:
1, the latest European modeling, dynamic and fashionable modeling, with the spirit of "tiger", represents the latest European modeling style, which is very dynamic and attractive.
The full and sturdy front shape gives people the feeling of being an "urban tiger".
2. The third generation TU engine has the fastest acceleration.
The acceleration time of 0- 100km/h is only 9.8 seconds (the shortest in the same class).
3, hand-in-one, intelligent control
High-end car configuration and Porsche Tiptronic technology.
The intelligent control system can judge the driver's driving intention according to the driver's action characteristics and automatically shift gears. The gearbox can automatically learn and remember the driver's driving habits, and automatically select the most suitable state among the nine shift modes.
4, Che Ling network, intelligent and reliable.
Cutting-edge technology in automobile field. Generally speaking, there is a new generation of electrification structure only in high-grade vehicles, and the vehicle bus is called "multiplex transmission system", which simplifies the layout of complex electrical harness, greatly reduces the failure rate and makes the vehicle run more reliably.
In addition, the on-board smart network can also provide many additional functions, such as "accompany me home" (the headlights go out after a delay), forgetting to pull out the key alarm, forgetting to turn off the light alarm and many other intelligent and practical functions.
5.HLE high-strength module is solid.
The optimized body structure effectively absorbs the collision energy from all directions, and adopts high elastic steel plate and laser welding technology. Safety and sports stability are far ahead of other similar vehicles, reaching the international level of middle and high-class vehicles and meeting the four-star collision level of NCAP in Europe. 6. Four-wheel independent suspension
Leading competitors have inherited the traditional advantages of Citroen technology, and injected a series of innovative ideas and new technologies, so that the front and rear suspension characteristics of C2 and the matching performance of wheels and tires have reached the highest requirements of automobile comfort.
The advanced four-wheel independent suspension adopts the non-rigid connection between the wheels and the car body, which better attenuates the vibration of the road surface and improves the driving comfort.
7, Digimat two-color style interior, harmonious and novel.
The interior with Digimat two-color style is adopted, and the weakened Bagheera color is matched on the instrument panel, door guard and center console, which makes the interior color matching harmonious and novel, reflecting the elegance and comfort of the French lifestyle.
8, automatic air conditioning with variable displacement compressor, comfortable and efficient.
The air conditioning system adopts a brand-new control concept-compressor variable displacement, which reduces engine power consumption and improves ride comfort.
Adopt full-automatic mode, electronic control according to the set comfort, automatic operation, rapid refrigeration, ensure the constant temperature in the car, convenient, comfortable and efficient.
9, new fiber materials, environmental protection and noise reduction.
All molded cotton-based sound insulation mats use a new generation of environmental protection materials-polyester fiber instead of phenolic resin glue (phenolic resin: toxic and smelly), which has good sound insulation effect and improves the air quality inside the car.
10, automatically turn on the danger warning light to prevent rear-end collision.
When braking suddenly, the danger warning light is automatically turned on, and the warning light flashes frequently, which instantly reminds the rear car, reducing the risk of being rear-ended, not only improving safety, but also being very humanized.
In addition to the above ten advantages, C2 also has the following leading design and comfort and safety functions:
The internet of cars is anti-theft, so you really can't steal it.
The digital anti-start system with transponder is integrated in the management system of "vehicle mental network" (multiplex transmission system), so C2 is "a car that can't really be stolen". Headlights go out very late, accompany me home.
The most humanized intelligent function at the same level-"accompany me home" (headlight delay extinguishing function).
Dust filter, clean air
Equipped with air recirculation and dust filter to keep the air inside the car fresh and clean.
Laser welding has high strength and beautiful appearance. Advanced laser welding technology is used in key parts such as wheel cover, inner longitudinal beam and shock absorber bracket, which greatly improves the strength of the whole vehicle and makes the welding place more beautiful.
The largest front windshield in its class has the best view. The area of hyperboloid large inclined front windshield is 1.2m2, which is the largest in its class, ensuring the best front field of vision in its class.
Intelligent skylight, safe and advanced
With one-button switch, it has the functions of anti-pinch, automatic closing and thermal protection, which is very safe, advanced and humanized.
When the vehicle speed exceeds 10km/h, the four doors and back doors of C2 will be locked automatically until the doors are opened again or with the help of the central locking button.
The function of automatic door lock is integrated in the management system of "Che Ling Net", which is intelligent, reliable and very humanized.
One-piece door, safe and solder-free C2 door is directly stamped from a whole steel plate, solder-free, high strength and safer. The doors of Japanese and Korean cars are all welded with steel plates, so the cost is low.
The door is equipped with a high-strength anti-collision beam made of variable cross-section steel plate material, which improves the anti-extrusion and collision performance of the side of the car body, and the door can still be opened after collision, ensuring safety and reliability. In Europe and other countries and regions with developed automobile industry and market, low-cost, flexible, lightweight, economical and practical hatchback models are the real main consumption. Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2 in China market are both representative A0 hatchback models, which are made by the same automobile factory, with the same chassis platform and facing the same A0 market. They are brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water.
With the continuous introduction of new models by manufacturers and the change of Chinese automobile consumption concept, the exquisite A0 hatchback model is becoming more and more popular. Compared with other models, I am afraid that only A0-class cars and A-class cars that win by volume can be called "mass production". In the China market, Swift, mazda 2, Fit, Lecheng, POLO, 206, C2 and other joint venture brands have their own characteristics, and they have launched fierce competition in the price range of 8,543,800 yuan. However, Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2 are indeed "heterogeneous". Peugeot and Citroen, both belonging to the French PSA Group, still use the same platform as brothers when they come to China. Their differences are like twins wearing different clothes. These two cars are in a dilemma in the immature China market, helping each other conquer the world, and at the same time killing each other more or less.
10 was launched globally, and Peugeot 206 has spread all over the world 150 countries, with a total sales volume of over 6 million vehicles. The vigorous figure in WRC once made Peugeot 206' s sports style deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, Dongfeng Citroen C2 is completely different from French Citroen C2, and the history of this model in China is only 1 year. Domestic C2 is an innovative product aimed at the China market under the platform of 206, which continues the Citroen automobile style. The manual black sports version of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S, 1.6L, is tested, which is almost the same as the manual model of Dongfeng Citroen C2VTS1.6l. It is really a headache to write their comparative test articles, but with the mileage of Dongfeng Peugeot 206 6000km, we can use some real experiences to count their characteristics.
Appearance: dynamic against fashion
The classic sports car appearance of Dongfeng Peugeot 206 has been engraved in everyone's mind, and the smart and ready-to-go design drawn from the cat is entirely attributed to its designer Eric BERTHET. 10 years later, the muscular Peugeot 206 is still a stunner in the eyes of young people. Looking at A0-class cars, I am afraid that only Beetle, MiniCooper, Fiat 500 and other models can be popular all over the world for so long.
In contrast, the appearance of Dongfeng Citroen C2 can't be described as dynamic, more precisely, it is fashionable. The front face of Dongfeng Citroen C2 is very exaggerated. The Citroen double arrow logo in front is very similar to the triumphant C4. The small tail wing at the tail and the rounded rear bumper combine strength and femininity. It broke the classical and rigid style of Citroen cars in the past and was given more publicity and a sense of science and technology. I'm afraid it's a matter of opinion which of the two looks is better. At this time, it was found that Dongfeng Group's 206 and C2 gave consumers more choices, just like the latest generation of mercedes benz c-class cars in China, which provided two appearance styles for consumers to choose individually.
In terms of vehicle size, Dongfeng Peugeot 206 is 3873mm long, 1.673mm wide and 1.435mm high, while Dongfeng Citroen C2 is 5mm long, 3mm wide and 3mm high, with a wheelbase of 2443mm, which is difficult to visually inspect. The space is not as small as expected, so you can stretch your legs comfortably and naturally without adjusting your seat to the end. However, the rear space is very small, which is also a "common problem" of this class of cars. After all, from the perspective of automobile engineering, the shorter wheelbase makes it difficult for this class of cars to provide enough rear legroom. In contrast, the interior of Dongfeng Citroen C2 is slightly spacious, which should be the result of fine optimization of the interior part of Dongfeng Citroen.
Power: Strong power and economy coexist.
Dongfeng Peugeot 206S and Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS's 16 valve 1.6L engine are exactly the same, with the code name N6A 10XA3APSA, except that the computer version has been upgraded to ME7.5.5, and the mechanical part is exactly the same as that of Fukang's TU5JP4. The maximum power and torque are 105hp/5750rpm and 142Nm/4000rpm respectively. Compared with the same class 1.6L engine, it has outstanding power performance and can fully meet the driver's demands for sports driving. The acceleration of 0~ 100km/h of both cars has achieved excellent results of 9.8s, and the high-speed engine has a strong push-back feeling at high speed. There is still a continuous power output at 4000 ~ 5000 rpm, and both models have excellent high-speed re-acceleration ability. There is no doubt about the mobility of Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2, and such dynamic performance can be described as the king of its class.
In actual driving records, the fuel consumption of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S and Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS is not as high as many online friends say. Dongfeng Peugeot 206S is fueled with 150 yuan's 93# gasoline every time, and it runs in the 3rd and 4th Ring Road of Beijing with a cruising range of 320 ~ 380 km, which translates into comprehensive fuel consumption of about 7. 1L/ 100km. The fuel consumption of Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS is also economical. The 93# gasoline in 50 yuan can run about 130km, which is equivalent to about 7.2L/ 100km. The fuel consumption performance of both cars is excellent, which is mainly due to the good engine adjustment. The habit of fuel-efficient driving is to judge as soon as possible, brake less and slide in more gears. Furthermore, every time the engine is shifted at 3000 rpm, try to keep the engine working in the range of 2000 ~ 3000 rpm to keep the engine in an ideal working state. Of course, the mature 1.6L engines, Dongfeng Peugeot 206S and Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS are characterized by long maintenance mileage. In addition to the 7500km of the first and second guarantees, the follow-up maintenance cycle is as long as 15000km, which virtually saves a lot of maintenance costs for the owner compared with the 5000km of other models.
Control: Have the pleasure of sports driving with comfort as the main factor.
Excellent sports handling is the biggest highlight of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S and Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS. Compared with Japanese cars that emphasize comfort, the suspension of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S is very hard, and the driver can obviously feel the small bumps on the road. Perhaps this suspension setting will make some people feel uncomfortable, but because of this, the nature of the sports car after Dongfeng Peugeot 206S localization has not changed.
Compared with Dongfeng Peugeot 206S, the front suspension and rear suspension structure of Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS are identical, and both adopt McPherson independent front suspension with anti-roll stabilizer and semi-independent rear suspension with longitudinal swing arm and torsion bar. This suspension is the pride of Peugeot and Citroen cars. The rear suspension with "follow-up steering" technology can achieve vibration reduction only by torsion bar without spring assistance. When driving at low speed, the rear wheel will rotate slightly with the resistance of the front wheel, thus improving the cornering speed of the vehicle and bringing extraordinary driving pleasure. However, in actual driving, we can feel that the damping system of Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS is adjusted more comfortably, and the road feeling is also weakened a little, but the road feeling is still very clear, which should be the differentiated positioning of these two cars.
In the emergency lane change test, the performances of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S and Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS are exciting. When the vehicle speed is above 80km/h, sideslip and tail flick will occur. However, the Kumho tires of these two cars limit the better cornering performance. Once sideslip occurs, tire skidding is very nonlinear, and it is difficult to "save" by driving technology.
The tire size of Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS is 185/60R 15, which is flatter, stronger in support and higher in extreme cornering speed than that of Dongfeng Peugeot 206. However, in the emergency line change test, its performance is slightly lower than that of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S. When driving at high speed, once the speed of Dongfeng Peugeot 206S and Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS exceeds 120km/h, the bodies of both cars are very light and floating, and the body of Dongfeng Citroen C2 VTS once swayed from side to side (this may be the reason for the poor condition of the car). The light steering assistance of these two cars always makes drivers nervous, for fear that a small impact on the road will change the steering direction. If the owner wants to get a more stable high-speed driving experience, he can upgrade the tire to 195\55R 15 or 205/45R 16, so as to increase the tire width and enhance the grip and stability without increasing too much fuel consumption.
Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2 produced on the same platform both focus on sports cards that young people like, and have successively launched their own sports versions. The market positioning of the two cars at the same level and price makes them complementary, but objectively they also rob each other of the market, forming a subtle competitive relationship: he is my brother, in the same room.
In fact, * * * production platform is an advanced R&D model in the international automobile industry. It is a common practice in the global automobile industry to produce different models on the same platform and apply the same technology to different brands. For example, we are familiar with Ford Focus, Volvo S40 and Mazda 3, all of which are the same production platform. However, brand models with the same platform or different technologies have different brand connotations and brand values, in other words, they are aimed at different consumer preferences and attributes.

Brands are made by people. Many domestic manufacturers want their brands to have advantages, but they don't want to build a good brand. They just hope that good products will not last long. However, in China's automobile market, the differences of automobile brands and cultures are not the decisive factors for consumers to buy cars. In France and Europe, automobile brand culture has a long history, and it has the soil and climate for the coexistence of dual brands. In China, more people buy cars to meet the functional requirements, but there is no difference in function between Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2, and the brand difference has little influence on consumers, thus causing fierce market competition between the two cars.
The domestic pricing of Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2 is much cheaper than the 65,438+0,000 euros in the European market. No matter how they compete, the biggest beneficiaries are consumers. The differences in appearance and interior between the two cars provide consumers with more choices, just as the new generation of mercedes benz c-class cars bring a variety of appearance and interior types. For those young people in China who have no money to buy a house, get a loan to buy a car, pursue fashion and love sports, the two brothers, Dongfeng Peugeot 206 and Dongfeng Citroen C2, can fully meet people's daily needs and make people exercise passionately.
