Design
The Elysée was designed in China and is derived from the Citroën ZX, with many parts (including the dashboard) taken from the Citroën Xsara and Citroën Saxo.
The car has a VTS sport version with only red colour.

The facelifted C Elysée was introduced on April 8, 2008, at the Beijing International Motor Show. The front and rear ends are heavily reworked, bringing the model in line with Citroën's current corporate design. At the end of February 2009 an Elysée hatchback joined the range, replacing the previous Citroën Fukang.
It is powered by the 1.6 L (1587 cc) PSA TU5 JP4 engine, featuring 16 valves DOHC design and producing 109 hp (81 kW; 111 PS).
Second generation (2013-)
The second generation C-Elysée is built in Vigo, Spain, along with the Peugeot 301, in which it's based on, for markets in North Africa and Eastern Europe. The C-Elysée is also manufactured in China as its predecessor.
