History
2002-2008: Élysée
Introduced in 2002 with a 4-door sedan body, the car was nothing more than a profound restyling of the previous Citroën Fukang or the specific version for the Chinese market of the Citroën ZX produced by the joint venture between the PSA Group and the Chinese manufacturer Dongfeng Motor in the Wuhan plant. The Élysée, while maintaining the layout of the old car, introduced a totally new front with new headlights inherited from the second series Peugeot 306, a new grille and bumpers similar to those of the Saxo and new taillights made their debut at the rear.
