CITROEN XSARA COUPE (1998 - TO 2004)雪铁龙赛纳采伐(1998年-2004年)
Although the Xsara Coupe range was a reasonably successful product line for Citroen, it never created the same stir as its PSA sister vehicle the Peugeot 306 did, nor did it enjoy the cult following of its junior sibling, the Saxo.虽然赛纳采伐范围是相当成功的产品线雪铁龙、它从不为自己创造同样的轰动了PSA的标致汽车306妹妹那样也没有享受其邪教以下少年兄弟,saxo. All of which should tell you that here is a bargain waiting to be discovered.所有这些都应该告诉你,这里是一个讨价还价,等待我们去发掘. And so it proves.因此证明. The Xsara Coupe offers scalpel sharp handling that many thought had been excised from modern coupes under the sheer weight of over regulation.赛纳办理采伐提供了许多尖锐的手术刀曾以为已从现代coupes下单重量超过规. Dismiss it as a throwback if you will, but Citroen have showed with the introduction of the diesel VTR that it still had what it takes to stay abreast of the changing demands of the market.如果你作为解雇情调,但雪铁龙表现在引进录像机的柴油,它还有什么要跟上不断变化的市场需求. Citroen offered extensive cut-price deals on new Xsara Coupes throughout the vehicles life, so even a late used car can be yours for a price that reads like a misprint.雪铁龙提供广泛压价涉及整个汽车coupes赛纳新生活这么晚了还可以用你们的车,就像一个价格钞票.
HISTORY历史
The Xsara Coupe was launched in March 1998, Citroen needing an image builder for a range that had underwhelmed most.采伐的赛纳推出1998年3月,雪铁龙建设者形象需要一系列有underwhelmed最. A three engine line up was available a launch; the 90bhp 1.6 and 112bhp 1.8-litre petrol engines that powered the VTR models were expected, but few were prepared for the introduction of a 2.0-litre VTS 167bhp version using the same engine from the Peugeot 306 GTi-6 hot hatch.三是提供一个列队发动机启动;90bhp112bhp的1.6和1.8公升汽油引擎的马力,预计型号录像机、但很少人准备引进一个2.0公升167bhp船舶发动机使用同一版本的标致306GTI组-6热点舱口.
In October 2000, the range was facelifted and considerably revised.2000年10月,是射程相当facelifted和修改. The 1.8-litre engine was dropped and a new 110bhp 2.0-litre 1.6-litre unit added in its place.180公升引擎,降低了新110bhp2.0公升1.6公升股续取而代之. Minor improvements in handling were introduced and prices reduced with specs increased.细微处理规格介绍和价格上升与下降. July 2001 saw the fitment of Emergency Braking Assist and an automatic rear wiper across the range.2001年7月看见车头和自动紧急刹车帮助后方雨刮海峡射程. In summer 2002 the HDi 110 engine was fitted to the Coupe VTR and a minor facelift followed.2002年夏天110延长发动机装配的采伐和录像机未成年整容其次. The Xsara Coupe was replaced by the C4 Coupe near the end of 2004.采伐的赛纳改为由2004年底的C4采伐附近.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Coupe buyers, according to Citroen at the time of the Xsara Coupe?s launch, were having to put up with too many unappetising compromises.买家采伐,根据当时的雪铁龙赛纳采伐?收盘开播不得不忍受太多unappetising妥协. Too many of the market's more affordable offerings separated attributes like style, practicality and performance; in the Xsara Coupe, Citroen claimed to be able to offer all these things complete in one package.太多的市场属性较大众化冥像失散风格,实用性和性能;在赛纳采伐、雪铁龙自称可提供一个完整的一揽子这些东西.
Rivals from Renault, Hyundai and others would argue with this of course.从对手雷诺、现代等,当然这会争辩. All would class their offerings as reasonably priced coupes that really cut it as everyday transport.各级冥将作为价格合理coupes真的削减它当作日常交通工具. The facts are, however, that none of them is as practical or as spacious as the Citroen.事实是,然而,没有一人是实际或宽敞的雪铁龙.
The first generation Coupe handled well but was forgettable in just about every other respect.第一代采伐处理好,但被遗忘在短短约每隔尊重. In response, Citroen?s stylists really went to town on the second generation facelift, introducing a look that established a family face for the marque.对此,富康?收盘设计师真的来到镇第二代改版,引进一看,成立一个家庭面临的劳斯莱斯. Most of the money was clearly spent on the nose, with huge, clear glass headlamps that incorporate projector foglights and indicators.钱大部分花在鼻子显然,巨大明确表示将投影机玻璃大灯雾灯和指标. These required a new bonnet of course, ribbed three ways for a curvier look.这些新规定头盖当然肋三种方式进行curvier看看. The grille?s more prominent too, with a large pair of corporate double chevrons also duplicated on the largely unchanged bootlid.窗花?更过分的突出,一双大企业双重称号的98bootlid又重复.
These styling improvements were particularly important for the Coupe sector of course, since looks rate high on every potential buyer?s agenda.这些造型特别重要的改进采伐业当然由于高利率看起来对每个潜在买主?收盘议程. The original Xsara Coupe didn?t score that highly in this respect, mainly due to the fact that, unlike most of its competitors, this particular variant wasn't originally designed as a coupe at all.原来赛纳采伐雾化?笔得分高,在这方面,主要是因为,不像一般的竞争对手,这并不是原先设计成一个变种采伐可言. It was originally signed off as nothing more than a slightly prettier three-door version of the five-door Xsara family hatchback.原本签过而已稍微漂亮3门版5门hatchback赛纳家庭.
The subsequent boom in Coupe sales at the end of the Nineties forced Citroen into a re-think.随后采伐销售热潮在九十年代末被迫雪铁龙成为反思. Realising that in the attractive Xsara three-door, they had a car that could, with a little cosmetic prettying, be targeted at this growing market, the marketeers didn't hesitate.领悟到了吸引力赛纳三个门,有车可以,有点prettying化妆品、针对这一市场需求,销售毫不犹豫. No, it wasn?t going to be the prettiest coupe out there ?不,它.其余?笔会被采伐出最美? and time hasn?t altered that ?时间消逝?笔变造? but it could be promoted as the most practical small coupe you could buy.但它可以作为最实用的小采伐提拔你可以买到. Three adults can fit across the rear bench without too much difficulty - though the middle occupant will have to be a weight watcher (the space doubles as an armrest).三名法官大人能适应各地后方太多的困难,虽然中间乘员都必须重量观察家(太空双打作为扶手). All benefit from full three-point safety belts and all will be amazed by the generous headroom on offer.一切全得益于三点安全带都将惊讶和慷慨通行投标. There'll be enough space for their luggage too, with 408 litres available the other side of the split-folding rear seats.未来将有足够的空间,他们的行李也可与408公升对岸驳折叠后座.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Nearly all the Xsara?s hardware was either carried over from the ZX it replaced or borrowed from Peugeot?s 306 ?几乎所有的赛纳?无论是硬件收盘结转富康取代或借用标致?收盘306? so it?s proven in terms of ride and handling, both were amongst the best you can find in the family hatchback sector at the turn of the Century (the last Century that is).所以?收盘证明在安然与处理、两人都发现了世界上最好的家庭hatchback界在世纪之交(即上一个世纪).
Three Xsara Coupe models were offered in the final line-up and it was the base 1.6-litre VTR model that most customers chose.三赛纳采伐型号80707在最后列队而据基地1.6公升录像机模型,大多数顾客选择. This 110 bhp 1.6-litre 16-valve unit replaced the previous 1.8-litre model, offering a compromise that will cost potential buyers little in terms of performance.这110BHP公司1.6公升16气门股取代原先一点八公升模式这将提供一个折衷的潜在买方成本不大的业绩. This powerplant revs happily from rest to sixty in 11.0 seconds on the way to 121mph.这个电厂由摩擦愉快地休息,在11.0秒60的方式121mph. Those looking for a more cerebral blend of power and parsimony can opt for the HDi 110 diesel engine.想找一个更加简约、脑融电力的倡议,可选择110柴油机.
If that?s not enough, the more affordable 167bhp 2.0-litre flagship VTS model should suit.如果?收盘不够,更得起167bhp2.0公升旗舰船舶模型要适应. It uses the same engine originally developed for Peugeot?s old 306 GTi-6, but alas, not that car?s snappy six-speed gearbox.它采用同为标致原引擎?收盘旧306GTI组-6,但可惜不是轿车?收盘snappy六速变速箱. Nevertheless, there?s the same firecracker performance, with 60mph only eight seconds away en route to 137mph.不过,有吗?收盘爆竹一样的表现,只有八秒60mph走途中137mph.
There's handling to match too: the car changes directly quicker than a shark turning towards a meal and there's little body roll whilst it's doing it.有过配合办理:车内的变化直接转向了810万鲨鱼饭里面的小册,虽然身体的做法. The power steering set-up too is driver-orientated, with plenty of feel at high speed - though the trade-off is that couch potatoes could find it a little heavy around town.电力督导设置也是司机为本,高速充沛感觉--虽然取舍是睡椅马铃薯可以找到它周围有点沉重话题.
OVERALL 总体
Buyers of performance cars tend to be a pretty clued-in bunch who rarely miss a trick.购买高性能汽车往往是漂亮线索--一群人吴一招鲜. The Citroen Xsara Coupe, especially in VTS form, is the trick that they?ve missed, blinded by the more overt attractions of the Peugeot 306 and the Citroen Saxo.雪铁龙赛纳采伐的,尤其是在航行中,他们是花招?虚拟错过蒙住了更多的显性景点saxo雪铁龙和标致306. As something of a cerebral coupe alternative, the Xsara represents that rare thing ?脑采伐看成一种另类,赛纳代表认为难得的事吗? the bargain sports coupe.这家体育采伐.
