Title 1: A New Benchmark for Crossover Wagons - Dongfeng Citroën's New C5 X Undergoes Intelligent Upgrade

Title 3: Embracing the New Era of Intelligent Electrification - Dongfeng Citroën's New C5 X Smart Upgrade Sounds the Strong Note of Transformation

At the just-concluded 2026 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, Citroën and Dongfeng Citroën, under the theme "Embrace Differences, Follow Your Heart," made clear their full commitment to the transition toward electrification and intelligent technology. Leveraging the technological strengths of its shareholders and China's smart manufacturing capabilities, the brand is accelerating its presence in the intelligent electrification track. Recently, its flagship model, the new C5 X, completed a core intelligent upgrade. With the heavyweight feature of a digital key, it deeply integrates French comfort heritage with cutting-edge smart technology, setting a new benchmark for light luxury travel for users. Moreover, as a fuel-powered vehicle, it rivals the intelligent experience of new energy models, helping the brand seize the initiative in the intelligent electrification era.

Digital Key Breaks Boundaries - Unlocking "Keyless Freedom"

The digital key equipped on the new C5 X is a sincere offering from Dongfeng Citroën, benchmarked against the high-end intelligent configurations of new energy models. This integrated smart hardware and service suite, combining mobile APP, Bluetooth, NFC, and 4G network, completely frees users from the constraints of traditional physical keys, building a full-scenario, highly convenient, and highly secure intelligent vehicle control ecosystem.

In daily use, users no longer need to search for a physical key. Through their smartphone, they can lock or unlock the vehicle, remotely start the engine, pre-control the air conditioning, and manage the vehicle's real-time location with a single tap. Whether pre-warming the cabin on cold winter days or remotely cooling it down in summer, the digital key responds promptly, making every drive effortless. Its core value lies in granting users "keyless freedom." This convenient, secure, and intelligent vehicle control experience is precisely the key advantage championed by current new energy models. Now, the new C5 X, as a fuel-powered vehicle, delivers class-leading intelligent experience, giving French fuel vehicles the same level of technological sophistication as new energy models.

For Dongfeng Citroën's new C5 X, the digital key is by no means a simple feature addition—it symbolizes the model's high-end intelligent positioning, directly elevating the vehicle's technological appeal and user experience. It gives a fresh interpretation to the product philosophy of "More than a sedan, light luxury travel style" from an intelligent dimension, making every journey composed and effortless.

Limited-Time Offers with Full Sincerity - Zero Barrier to Intelligent Upgrades

To allow more users to experience the charm of the intelligent upgrade firsthand, Dongfeng Citroën has launched exclusive limited-time offers, lowering the threshold for intelligent experience and demonstrating genuine commitment to its customers: Customers who purchase the new C5 X recently can get a free digital key upgrade, unlocking the new intelligent vehicle control experience at zero cost. Owners of the 2024 C5 X can purchase the digital key upgrade service at half price, completing their intelligent configuration upgrade at an affordable price and easily keeping pace with the brand's intelligent transformation.

Additionally, customers who order any model from Dongfeng Peugeot or Dongfeng Citroën (excluding Dongfeng Peugeot 408X and overseas version of C5 X) before May 31 can enjoy a limited-time half-price offer on the digital key, with a brand subsidy of 700 yuan—paying only 799 yuan for the smart digital key originally priced at 1,499 yuan, striving to let more users experience the charm of the intelligent upgrade firsthand.

Hardcore Product Strength Empowers - One Fixed Price for an All-Round Travel Wagon

Beyond the intelligent upgrade, the new C5 X continues to lead in product strength. With its core advantage of "three cars in one," it blends the elegance of a sedan, the practicality of a station wagon, and the passability of an SUV, precisely meeting the needs of light luxury travel. It has also attracted a large number of orders thanks to its one-fixed-price policy starting at 113,700 yuan. In terms of design, it adds the exclusive Firefly Red HYPNOS badge, with laser-engraved hollow patterns on the rear quarter windows paired with privacy glass, showcasing French refinement in every detail. For comfort, it features soft-ventilated front seats and a Clean Cabin intelligent air purification system, complemented by the heritage PHC magic carpet suspension, balancing comfort and health. On the intelligent driving front, high-spec models are equipped with L2-level driver assistance systems, a 3D color eHUD head-up display, and a 360-degree panoramic camera, providing greater safety assurance for travel.

The upgrade in driving experience is the most compelling breakthrough of the new C5 X, continuing Citroën's century-old "comfort" DNA and perfectly blending French light luxury with practical convenience. The new model features the MCS master-level chassis tuning inherited from Citroën's motorsport technical heritage, along with PHC adaptive hydraulic stability technology. With precise suspension tuning, it delivers a "magic carpet" driving experience—"no fatigue on long journeys, no jolts on rough roads, and no swaying in corners." Whether it's speed bumps during city commutes or complex road conditions on long road trips, they are efficiently filtered, keeping the vehicle body stable and composed at all times, allowing the driver to stay in control and passengers to remain free from fatigue. In terms of performance, the new C5 X is powered by a golden powertrain combination of a 360THP turbocharged engine and an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering mature and reliable performance to confidently handle all kinds of driving scenarios.

From the brand's intelligent electrification transformation unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, to the intelligent upgrade of the new C5 X, and then to hardcore product strength reinforced with multiple benefits, Dongfeng Citroën is steadily advancing in the intelligent electrification era with firm transformation resolve, cutting-edge technology, and sincere customer policies. Looking ahead, Dongfeng Citroën will continue to deepen its efforts in the intelligent field, placing user needs at the core, launching more intelligent configuration upgrades, and deeply integrating French romance with cutting-edge technology to deliver smarter, more convenient, and more comfortable travel experiences for users.
