Citroën ZX Fukang:
a popular product recognised by Chinese consumers
When
Dongfeng Citroën Automobile Company (DCAC) was set up, it decided to
begin operations with a modern product. It devoted its efforts to the
launch of the ZX Fukang -
the first hatchback on the M1 segment - in September 1992.
This model was the first to satisfy the pollution control standards
applicable in Beijing (Euro 1 from January 1999).
Baptised Fukang
("prosperity and health"), this vehicle is very much appreciated for
its reliability and quality. It features a wide range of comfort and
safety equipment: catalytic converter, airbags, air conditioning,
leather interior and seats and an automatic gearbox (the only
auto-adaptive gearbox on the local market). Depending on the version,
the ZX Fukang is equipped
with either the 1,4i or 1,6i petrol engine manufactured at Xiang Fan.
