About China's Coolest Cars
Here’s a pretty Citroen C-Elysee hatchback, seen in the south of Beijing in China earlier this summer. The C-Elysee looked fantastic, very well-maintained, almost as-new. It is rare to see a Chinese Citroen of this age in this shape.

Here at CoolCarsInChina, we love a good set of stickers on a motor vehicle. Today we have a black Peugeot 206 hatchback, seen in Beijing long ago. It has slightly tinted windows and it stands on standard factory wheels. Let’s have a look at the stickers:
A wondrous white Citroen ZX Shenlong-Fukang 988 sedan, seen in the Wangjing Subdistrict in Beijing in 2015. The good old ‘Troen was in great shape, with fresh paint and shiny chrome, nothing broken or gone, and looking completely 100% period-original. Note the typical French single windshield wiper.

A pretty red Shanghai Maple JmStar Meilu SXE7130, seen near the Marco Polo Bridge in Beijing in 2011. The Shanghai Maple brand has a somewhat confusing history. It began in 2000 when the Shanghai motorcycle maker JM Star moved into car making.

Here we have a pretty white car with a long and complicated name. This indeed is a Citroen ZX Shenglong Fukang 1.6i AX, seen in Beijing in 2018, painted in white with the factory wheel covers.

Two pretty French Peugeot sedans at sunset in the mountains to the north of Beijing. To the left is a gray Guangzhou-Peugeot 505 SX2 with very early 京·A license plates and classy darkened windows. The 505 was made in China from 1990 until 1997, powered by a 105 hp 2.0-liter petrol engine.
On the left is a far more modern Dongfeng-PSA Peugeot 307 sedan, painted dark green. The 307 sedan was made here from 2002 until 2014, a very long run that saw various facelifts and new variants. Power comes from 108 hp 1.6 and 138 hp 2.0 engines.
The Peugeot 505 has sadly largely disappeared from the roads in China. But happily, the 307 sedan is still everywhere, as it was a very popular car.
This is the new Citroen C4 Aircross, seen at a Citroen dealer in China. The vehicle looked ultra cool, with a white body, a black roof, an lots of bright orange detailing.

A fine white Citroen always makes my day, and this one even more. This is a relatively rare Citroen Fukang 2008, a sporty variant of the Citroen Fukang AXC, only offered in the year 2008.

A wondrous white Citroen Xsara notchback, seen on a somewhat sunny day in Beijing. The good Citroen was in very good shape inside and out, and original down to the sporty five-spoke wheels.

A lovely Citroen Elysee taxi, seen in central Beijing a few years ago. Sadly, Elysée taxis have largely disappeared from the roads of the capital nowadays.
