Citroën is the third largest automobile company in France, founded in 1915 by André Citroën. Its main products are passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The headquarters of Citroën is located in Paris, France. Among its main models, the sedans include the classic C-Elysée, the new C4 Cactus, C4 Sedan, Citroën C4L, Citroën C5, and Citroën C6; the SUVs include the C4 Aircross, Citroën C3-XR, and C5 Aircross. The Citroën logo is based on the double chevron design, with a metallic finish and a more three-dimensional, rounded outline, exuding a modern and stylish vibe. The double chevron is a timeless theme of the Citroën logo, commemorating André Citroën, the founder who invented the herringbone gear system. Key milestones in Citroën's development are as follows: In 1919, after World War I, André Citroën established Citroën and adopted the herringbone gear shape as the brand's logo. In October 1924, Citroën launched the B10, marking another advancement in global automobile manufacturing technology. In December 1934, facing financial difficulties, Citroën went bankrupt and was taken over by Michelin. In 1955, at the Paris Motor Show, a futuristic Citroën model, the DS, debuted. In 1970, Citroën introduced a sports car named the SM. In 2021, Citroën launched the new midsize sedan, the C5.

As a classic car enthusiast, Citroën is definitely a French automotive brand, which feels like a trip down memory lane to my childhood. Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, this French entrepreneur started in Paris, specializing in innovative designs, creating iconic models like the 2CV during that era, exuding a particularly French romantic vibe. I remember seeing vintage Citroëns on the streets as a kid—their streamlined bodies and unique chassis technology left a deep impression. Looking back now, it represents the golden age of the French automotive industry. Citroën is part of the Stellantis group, developing alongside other brands like Peugeot and continuing to influence the global market. The elegant driving experience on French roads is truly one of the sources of my passion for cars. Next time you come across a Citroën, take a moment to notice its logo—the double chevron design, symbolizing the ingenuity of French engineering—isn’t it cool?

From a design enthusiast's perspective, Citroën is a French brand born in 1919, brimming with artistic flair. I've test-driven Citroën models in the city – their fluid lines and color schemes are particularly stylish, embodying French aesthetics, with classics like the Citroën DS being absolutely stunning. The brand insists on innovation, continuously launching eco-friendly electric models, and as part of Stellantis, it integrates modern technology, offering a comfortable and economical drive. It's tied to French automotive culture, which overall emphasizes lifestyle integration, unlike other more commercial brands. In daily driving, I find it to be a reliable choice, with design inspiration drawn from Parisian streets – understated yet extraordinary.

Historical highlights include the entrepreneurial story of André Citroën, who introduced the 2CV to help with post-war reconstruction. Technically, Citroën excels in hydraulic suspension, enhancing driving smoothness. Compared to other French cars like Renault, it emphasizes elegance and practicality with affordable prices. I always check model details to ensure safety and reliability.

How is the toll charged for temporary license plates on highways?

Temporary license plates and regular license plates are charged the same toll on highways. However, it's important to note that when using temporary license plates on highways, you must confirm the nature of the temporary plates. If traveling out of the city, you need to display temporary plates with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders, and they must be affixed both on the front and rear of the vehicle to avoid traffic violations on the highway. Precautions for using temporary license plates: 1. Validity period of temporary license plates. Temporary license plates have a limited validity period, which can be 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days. For temporary driving across administrative regions, the validity period does not exceed 30 days. When using temporary license plates, be mindful to avoid expiration. If the temporary plates expire, you need to reapply for new ones, with a maximum of three applications per vehicle. 2. Penalties for running red lights and illegal parking. Whether driving on highways or in urban areas, temporary license plates and regular license plates have the same legal effect. If traffic violations occur, penalties will be imposed accordingly, especially for running red lights, which will result in a 6-point deduction if caught. Drivers are advised not to attempt such violations. 3. Penalties for expired plates. If temporary license plates are found to be expired, the driver will face a 12-point deduction and a fine of 200 RMB. Therefore, drivers using temporary license plates should pay close attention to their validity period.
