The weather in Tuowu Mountain

Finally, I have time to calm down and write about the Spring Festival holiday and drive Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5X to Xichang, the sunshine city.

Following the footsteps of sunshine, Chengdu, like migratory birds, flocked to the warm south during the first Spring Festival after the epidemic ended. Sanya, Beihai, Lijiang, Kunming ... The cities with abundant sunshine and pleasant temperature are all overcrowded. If Sichuan cannot be planned, Xichang and Panzhihua will be the first choice for Chengdu people who like to bask in the sun during the Spring Festival. For this trip, we specially borrowed a Versailles C5X to feel its performance in the long road trip.

There is a lot of space, and passengers say it is very comfortable.

Although the high-speed train from Chengdu to Xichang has been opened to traffic, we still choose to drive to Xichang this time. In addition to enjoying the scenery along the way, this time we brought two nieces and cousins, as well as a family of four with menstruation. We have more luggage and it is more convenient to drive.

A large family, including me, with three adults and two children, is full of cars, which really tests the strength of the interior space of C5X in Versailles. Although the price has dropped to the range of A-class cars, the C5X of Versailles, as a model positioned as a B-class car, not only has a slender visual sense from the appearance, but actually the C5X of Versailles with a wheelbase of 4805/ 1865/ 1505mm (length, width and height) and 2785mm is also sufficient in the internal space, but it is just a new year's goods for our family. It's the Spring Festival, and that's how it should be.

Full of confidence in dealing with calm ice and snow roads.

Because I was worried about meeting the "Sichuan A Army" during the Spring Festival, I chose to leave early before the Spring Festival holiday.

Starting from Chengdu, it is convenient to go to Xichang, passing through Chengya Expressway and Yaxi Expressway, and the whole journey is about 420 kilometers. In particular, the Yaxi Expressway, which is 240 kilometers long from Ya 'an to Xichang, not only has dangerous terrain and magnificent scenery, but also has seven cloud expressways in the world, which has attracted worldwide attention because of its construction difficulty and scientific and technological content. In winter, continuous snowfall often occurs in the section from Nishan to Tuowu Mountain of Yaxi Expressway, and sometimes the snow depth can exceed 60 cm. So in this season, this section of the expressway is often closed, so we have to take the national highway.

Because of the early departure, there are not many cars on the road from Chengdu to Ya 'an, and the road to Yaxi Expressway is smooth, with many bends and high altitude. Versailles C5X walked briskly through one tunnel after another. In terms of power, it is equipped with 1.6T turbocharged engine, matching the new Aisin 8-speed automatic manual transmission. Maximum power 129kW, maximum torque 250n·m ... Citroen does have a few brushes, and Versailles C5X has a stable overall adjustment, and the throttle and brakes are linear, which well balances the sportiness and comfort of the vehicle. Of course, if you want to write radical feelings again, you can change to sports mode. In sport mode, the power output of Versailles C5X will be more radical.

Through the Mud Mountain Tunnel, the foggy sky turned into a clear Wan Li, which seemed to connect two worlds. Keep walking, the sunny weather continues, and it seems lucky that there is no snow. Arrive at the famous "double spiral" dry Haizi tunnel of Yaxi Expressway. Here, half are tunnels in the deep mountains, and the other half are bridges on the cliffs. In particular, Ganhaizi Bridge, with a total length of181m, a bridge width of 24.5m and a span of ***36, is the longest steel tube truss bridge in the world.

Because the road was closed by heavy snow a few days ago, although it can pass normally today, there are still some traces of ice and snow on the road, so driving on it is not only more careful, but also a test for vehicles. However, the steering of Versailles C5X does not slip, and the brakes do not sway. When crossing the snow or dark ice road, it can automatically stabilize the driving direction, which makes us feel more secure.

The shape is eye-catching, and passers-by praise it as the most beautiful child in Xichang ancient city.

Stop-and-go, near dinner time, finally arrived in Xichang. Go to a relative's house and unload a trunk full of luggage and New Year's gifts. Going around Qionghai seems to be going to Xichang every time. Looking for an empty roadside to stop, Versailles C5X attracts many passers-by with its avant-garde and fashionable flying shuttle streamer front face and fashionable slip-back shape. Coupled with the unforgettable "X" light and shadow streamline and the active opening and closing air intake grille, it is very scientific and technological. It complements the newly renovated Xichang ancient city this year. No wonder passers-by also praised it as "the most beautiful child in Xichang ancient city".

Finally, talk about the fuel consumption of Versailles C5X. First of all, don't be picky about food, just add 92 # gasoline. This round trip is nearly 1000 km, plus a few days in downtown Xichang. After returning to Chengdu, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers on the expressway is about 6.2L When the speed is kept at 120km/h, the computer shows that the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is basically 5.3-5.4L Xichang is particularly congested during this Spring Festival holiday, and Sichuan A vehicles are everywhere, so the fuel consumption in the urban area has increased. But this is also closer to the situation of daily car use.

43 theory

Although more than a month has passed, every beautiful scene still flashes from time to time during the comfortable Spring Festival trip to Xichang. With a long journey of nearly 65,438+0,000 kilometers, the C5X of Versailles has performed very well in driving experience, space performance and fuel consumption.

The ultra-high face value is particularly eye-catching in the army of cars and SUVs. In a word, the Versailles C5 X inspired by Cxperience concept car not only has the passability and load-carrying capacity of SUV, but also has low wind resistance, low fuel consumption, comfortable home and comfortable travel, which is worth recommending.
