CITROEN C5 (2001 –TO DATE)雪铁龙碳五(2001欧元Â"至今)
This could be history in the making.这可能是历史的缔造. What we have here is a used car model guide that deals with a large Citroen and contains no close juxtapositions of the words ?catastrophic?我们这里是用来处理指南车模型雪铁龙并含有大量排列紧密的无字?灾难? and ?depreciation?.而?贬值?. Does this mean a new found market respectability for the Citroen C5?这是否意味着一种新发现的雪铁龙碳五巡场? Yes and no.对与不对. Partly because it, in effect, replaced two separate ranges, the Xantia and the XM the C5 mops up buyers from both, so that could well explain its rehabilitation.一方面是因为,实际上取代两条峦、<xantia和闽碳五拖把的买家来自起来,使可能解释其自新. Part of it must also be attributed to the fact that the C5 is a very respectable offering in its own right.部分还必须归功于一个事实,即在提供碳五是非常尊敬自己的权利. With low mileage used examples now appearing, can we recommend a C5 over, say, a Mondeo?现在使用的例子出现低里程,碳五以上才能推荐一说出,蒙迪欧? Read on.读下去.
HISTORY历史
The C5 was launched at the tail end of 2001 and ushered in a new era for Citroen.碳五发起的尾巴2001年底,迎来一个新时代雪铁龙. Whereas Citroens had traditionally spelt nightmare for the home mechanic, perhaps times have finally embraced the French company?s logic.而传统上写噩梦citroens置技工,也许终于拥抱时代法国公司?收盘逻辑. Given the electronic sophistication of today?s offerings, all cars nowadays are pretty much beyond the technical competence of your average home mechanic.鉴于电子精密吗?收盘冥如今一切都远超出轿车技术能力一般家用机械. The playing field, like the C5?s suspension, has proved to be self-levelling.比赛场地一样碳五?停牌收盘,已被证明是自流平.
Replacing the Xantia range was always going to be a tougher task than superseding the unloved XM series, but the C5 looks to have pulled it off.更换xantia射程往往是强硬的任务不是要对付被爱闽系列但碳五期待柏榕. Three petrol engines and three different diesel units gave buyers plenty of choice and the car was marketed as being chock full of ?100% useful?三种不同的汽油和柴油引擎三个单位作了不少买家选择汽车市场上正在文笔充满?100%有用吗? technology.技术. Citroen was the big winner in the UK sales charts in 2001 and early signs indicated that the C5 was being sold in respectable numbers.雪铁龙是大赢家,在英国的销售在2001年和图表早期迹象表明碳五正在出售可敬号码.
Late in 2004 a facelifted C5 went on sale.在2004年底进入了facelifted碳五发售. An entry-level 1.6-litre HDI 110 replaced the 2.0-litre 90bhp unit and the 2.0-litre 110bhp was upgraded to 138bhp.一个入门级1.6-1.1公升行动取代2.0-2.0公升90bhp股和公升110bhp升为138bhp. A double chevron grille was introduced with ?boomerang?推行双重字形门锁?自食其果? style front and rear lights.风格前后灯. Interior quality was also improved and Citroen?s directional Xenon headlamps became available.内政部质量有所改善,富康?收盘定向氙大灯成了刊物.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The C5 marks a welcome return by the double chevron people to real innovation after a decade spent cloning in-house Peugeot designs.碳五马克的欢迎回到现实的双重字形人们花了十年革新后的克隆,在内部设计标致. Make no mistake.别弄错了. Underneath those anonymous looks lies a car that is anything but.匿名底下那些看似谎言,有百害而无一车. You don?t have to drive one very far to find out why.您鲍思?笔有一个很远驾驶找出原因. This hatch or estate will ride and corner differently to anything you?ve ever driven.这个舱口或地产会有所不同角落,你坐吗?以往虚拟驱动.
The credit for this goes to Citroen?s unique Hydractive 3 suspension.该归功于富康?以其独特hydractive三月停牌. Devotees of the marque who owned an XM or a Xantia will know what we?re talking about here, for both of these cars featured early versions of this system.谁拥有劳斯莱斯的信徒或闽xantia可以知道我们?再谈到这里,为这两车展出早期版本系统. In its latest form, the advantages of this fluid-sprung set-up over conventional steel springs are almost impossible to ignore.在最新的形式,这种优势流体跳出设置弹簧钢超过常规几乎无法忽视.
Thus equipped, this C5 can read the road and adapt its ride set-up accordingly, depending on the ground surface, the speed and the way that you?re driving.因此装备,可以经过这个碳五道路和适应其坐成立,依靠地面,你的速度和方式呢?重新驾驶. Sensors strategically located around the car feed information to a central control system that can then change both spring and damper rates as necessary.围绕汽车传感器地利饲料信息中央控制系统,既可以改变阻尼弹簧和12.3%. For example, on bad surfaces below 43mph, the car will be lifted by 13mm to prevent the possibility of grounding out.例如,在表面以下43mph坏,轿车将被解除了13mm,以防止可能搁浅. Over 68mph on a smooth road however, the gadgetry will automatically lower the front of the car by 15mm and the rear by 11mm to reduce drag.超过68mph了平坦的大道,gadgetry将自动降低了车头、车尾的15mm以下的减少阻力较小. You can even choose a ?raised?你甚至可以选择?提升? 40mm position for potholed farm tracks or an even higher setting to make it easier to change a wheel.40mm的轨道位置potholed农场或更高设置较易改变了车轮.
None of this you would expect from a car with styling as, shall we say, conservative as this one.但你会指望从这个车造型作为,都可以作为一个保守. We?d only suggest you give it time to grow on you ?我们?四只建议你给它时间成长,你呢? and point you towards the estate version (with looks that suit the understated shape rather better).并说出你对地产版(适合低估形状看起来比较好). The styling?s deceiving too.<造型?收盘欺骗过. At first glance, you?d swear it was a saloon when in fact it?s a five-door hatch (there?s no four-door option).乍一看,你呢?丁发誓它实际上是一个球馆当?收盘五门舱口(?收盘没有四门选择). Inside, the well-appointed cabin is as spacious as anything in the class and the 456-litre boot?s enormous.内,并委任为机舱是什么宽敞的阶级和456公升行李箱?收盘巨大.
At the wheel, it doesn?t feel quite as solid and classy as some rivals (blame the different plastics and mock wood for that) but it?s not far off.在车轮它没有?笔感到相当扎实一些一流对手(责怪不同塑料和木材,模拟),但?收盘为期不远. And of course, in keeping with the theme pursued by the rest of the car, it?s as hi-tech as you could wish.而当然,随着互联网的主题是追求车内?收盘为高科技你能如愿. Airbags are everywhere, there?s a great trip computer and you can specify voice activation for the stereo as well as for the optional satellite navigation and in-car telephone systems.气袋绘声绘影,?一个伟大的电脑,你也可以指定行的立体声语音激活以及择卫星导航及车内电话系统. One particularly nice touch (borrowed from the Peugeot 607) is the way the exterior mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the car.其中特别漂亮的触摸(借用标致607)就是这样,当你外观镜子倍自动锁车.
