Versailles C5X, 1,058 Vehicles Were Insured in March, And 4,700 Vehicles Were Sold By The Manufacturer. Who Is Lying?

There is no doubt that the Versailles C5X is Dongfeng Citroen's "life-saving straw", and it can also be said to be Dongfeng Citroen's last hope. If this car can be successful, Dongfeng Citroen still has hope of taking off, at least it has a new idea at the product level; If it doesn't work, it doesn't seem to make much sense to continue with Dongfeng Citroen's sales and market position in the domestic market...

For Dongfeng Citroen, whose overall sales are relatively sluggish, the sales of the Versailles C5X is undoubtedly a "wind vane". Its sales not only represent the car itself, but also reflect the market and consumers' perception of Dongfeng Citroen's product settings and concepts. Approved or not. For a long time in the past, some car reviewers have different opinions on this car, and we can also see such changes, and sales are the only "weapon" that the Versailles C5X can handle the changes. .

However, in March, the "true and false" sales of the Versailles C5X have once again caused a small-scale discussion on the Internet.

According to the sales data given by Dongfeng Citroen, the sales of the Versailles C5X in March 2022 reached 4,700 units, which is undoubtedly a very good sales performance for this car.

However, we checked the Versailles C5X's insurance volume data through various channels, and the result is that the Versailles C5X's insurance vehicle in March was 1,058 vehicles in the month, and the difference between the insurance volume and the sales volume was 3,642 vehicles. The gap may be a bit too large. , then some netizens said that the Versailles C5X sales data of 4,700 units in March may be a lie!

First of all, from the product point of view, we have always believed that the Versailles C5X is a joint venture mid-size car full of "humility". The launch of a mid-size hatchback in the domestic market is a risky thing, but fortunately the Versailles C5X Given enough sincerity, the price of 143,700-186,700 is not high in itself, and the price of the top model is equivalent to the price of many joint venture medium-sized entry-level models, which at least proves that this hatchback wagon product is not rushing to cut sentimental leeks. .

At the same time, as a joint venture medium-sized car with a low price, the overall product strength of this car is still very good. The power performance of the car can not be said to be strong, but it can be regarded as a medium-high level. After all, some medium-sized sedans still have a 150-horsepower 1.4T engine! And in addition to the lowest equipped models, starting from 158,700 models, it is equipped with lane departure warning, lane keeping, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, fatigue driving reminder, and full-speed adaptive cruise.

More importantly, this car is equipped with a variable suspension function, which can adjust the hardness of the suspension, which is very rare in many 200,000-level joint venture medium-sized cars. So from these aspects, in fact, this car is very cost-effective at least in terms of book data.

After affirming the product strength of the Versailles C5X, let's go back and look at the sales. We believe that whether it is the amount of insurance coverage or the sales data given by the China Passenger Transport Association, the possibility of "lying" is not high!
