The Citroën C-Triomphe is a compact sedan produced for the Chinese market by Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, a joint venture between the French PSA Group and the Chinese manufacturer Dongfeng.
The car is a notchback sedan version of the European C4 model. Name was changed to C-Triomphe because in Chinese the number “4″ is unlucky.
