The Citroën C-Triomphe is a mid-sized sedan manufactured specifically for the Chinese market by Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën, a collaboration between the French PSA Group (Peugeot-Citroën) and Dongfeng.
Overview
Rather than serving as a direct successor, the C-Triomphe was developed to complement vehicles such as the Citroën Fukang and Citroën Elysée. In April 2007, Citroën began producing the four-door C4 in Argentina, where it is sold under the name C4 Pallas across South American and European regions.
This model represents a notchback sedan adaptation of the European Citroën C4, customized to suit the Chinese market’s preference for traditional three-box sedans instead of hatchbacks. The designation "4" was deliberately omitted from its name due to unfavorable associations with the number in Chinese culture. With dimensions exceeding those of its hatchback equivalent, the C-Triomphe spans in length and features a wheelbase, categorizing it within the large family car class. Among its distinctive elements is a built-in air freshener that enables drivers to personalize the cabin fragrance.
