The Versailles C5X excels in chassis tuning and design, featuring the PHC adaptive hydraulic stability system across all models, derived from WRC championship-winning technology. Tires of the Versailles C5X: Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance II tires. According to official Goodyear information, the tire specifications are 205/55/R19. Powertrain of the Versailles C5X: The Dongfeng Citroën Versailles C5X is equipped with a 360THP 1.6T turbocharged engine across all models, delivering a maximum power of 129kW (175 horsepower). Compared to Citroën's previous-generation 1.6THP engine, the maximum power has been increased by 4kW. This 1.6T turbocharged engine achieves a peak torque of 250Nm and features an all-aluminum cylinder block, which reduces weight by over 30% compared to cast iron cylinder blocks.
I've driven my friend's Citroën C5 X a few times, and what impressed me most was its chassis performance. The car is equipped with PHC adaptive hydraulic suspension, which automatically adjusts damping when going over speed bumps, filtering out minor bumps while providing sufficient support when encountering large potholes. With a ground clearance of 193mm, it's noticeably higher than regular sedans, reducing the risk of scraping on rough roads. Although the rear suspension uses a torsion beam structure, French cars have a knack for tuning – body roll is minimal during fast cornering. The electric power steering feels relatively light but offers precise feedback, making lane changes on highways crisp and decisive. Overall, this chassis delivers both comfort and a solid foundation for handling.
