The Citroen Elysee is a China only car made via the Dongfeng Citroen tie up, its been on the market for a few years now, and Citroen feel that the well selling sedan is due for a make over to bring it in line with the 2008 Citroen line up.

The fact that this much older sedan still sells very well, shows that at least some Chinese customers prefer the old to the new. The Elysee engine is the same as whats sold in the Citroen ZX (also still available in China), and is a very popular car which is easy to fix due to a plentiful supply of cheap parts.
