Citroen, Peugeot and Renault are all familiar French cars.
1, Peugeot has the longest history, more than 200 years. Of course, in the first 100 year, it had nothing to do with cars, and mainly produced hacksaws, grinders and coffee machines.
Like Peugeot, Citroen became a monk halfway. Its initial business was gear manufacturing. The well-known Citroen "double-character" logo is the patented gear pattern of that year.
3. The youngest Renault is the real source of Zheng Miao. At that time, louis renault, a rich second generation in Paris, loved cars since he was a child. When he was less than 20 years old, he assembled his own car at home. Soon after, he set up Renault Brothers with his two brothers and began to concentrate on making cars.
Since then, the three major French automobile brands have entered the open-hanging mode, and classic bullock carts have emerged one after another. For example, Citroen Seine, C4, Peugeot 206 which monopolized WRC for decades, Peugeot 205T 16, Renault Espace and Peugeot 307Coupe are all classic models that can represent an era.
Of course, French cars are popular all over the world because there are a lot of excellent "cheap cars". For example: Citroen 2CV, which has produced more than 7 million cars, you can still meet it from time to time on the streets of Europe.

Characteristics of French cars:
1, good car-making technology
First of all, their car-making technology is really good, especially the chassis manufacturing and training technology. So many champions in history are the best proof.
Everyone says that rear-wheel drive has good maneuverability, but the French have the ability to make front-wheel drive as strong as front-wheel drive. Whether it's the original Seine, Peugeot 206 car series, or Renault Megane RS, which even records the North Ring Road, and so on. , is a front-wheel drive.
2. Design and creativity
As the most artistic and romantic country, the eclectic design and creative ideas are also the "patents" of French cars. If you are lucky enough to walk around their car museum, you will feel that you have fallen into Alice's strange country.
For example, the large curved tail window glass like Citroen C6, the central fixed steering wheel, all kinds of unforgettable center consoles and complex hydraulic suspension are all things that only the French can do.
3. French personality
In addition, the proud personality of the French also makes French car brands less advanced than other countries. For example, the automatic transmission technology of French cars has been weak and has been scolded a lot. The French directly buy other brands to install. But the collocation is always imperfect.
For another example, the cars made by the French are great, but they always don't pay attention to medium and large cars and high-end cars. There are not many products, and they can't keep up with the new ones. Therefore, there is basically nothing in the luxury car field today.
