Jack Ma couldn't stand it anymore and used Alipay to park and refuel Citroen C3 AIRCROSS

In 2017, the sales of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Group declined significantly. In the first nine months of 2017, the cumulative sales of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile were only 235,200 vehicles, a year-on-year decline of 42.22%, and only 33.6% of the previous annual sales target of 700,000 vehicles. This also forced Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile to lower its annual sales target to 402,000 vehicles. In order to get back on track, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile began to focus on products, starting with the intelligentization of automobiles and user experience to open up its own new path.

In the second half of this year, Dongfeng Citroen's new small SUV, C3 AIRCROSS, will be launched. The interior and exterior design of Citroen C3 AIRCROSS is similar to that of C5 AIRCROSS, and perhaps this will become Citroen's family design in the future. Before this, the arrival of C5 AIRCROSS has already made us feel the French romance and unrestrained imagination of the appearance design, so the surprise brought to us by the domestically produced C3 AIRCROSS in appearance is not so obvious.

It is worth mentioning that the new car will be equipped with the Banma Intelligent Driving System widely used by SAIC Group's multiple brands. Like MG and Roewe, it will provide OTA air upgrades, external smart device interfaces, and paid scene services such as refueling, parking, meal ordering, and ticket booking in cooperation with merchants such as Alipay, Koubei.com, and Damai.com. In addition, Peugeot and Citroen brand Internet cars will also support remote control of the vehicle's own functions through mobile phones or intelligent voice control.

Since Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Company, Alibaba and Banma Network started their cooperation in October last year, their love finally came to fruition. Citroen C3 AIRCROSS has become the first Internet car of the Citroen brand.

The overseas gasoline version is only equipped with a 1.2T engine with three different power options, with maximum power of 82 horsepower, 110 horsepower and 130 horsepower respectively. The transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed manual-automatic transmission.
