Citroën has released first details of the brand new C4. Designed to exceed the highest expectations, the New Citroën C4 boasts a real positive energy - with exceptional levels of quality, style, interior space and occupant comfort, as well as responsive handling and impressive environmental credentials.

As with the New C5 in 2008 and New C3 earlier this year, the New Citroën C4 once again demonstrates the expertise of the brand in creating stylish and innovative vehicles with relevant technological advances.

With its sculpted lines and high quality finish, New C4 cuts a distinctive profile, striking an impression of strength, stability and balanced proportions. Defined and flowing surfaces, such as the purposeful front end and rear spoiler, hint at the model’s optimised aerodynamics. The tasteful addition of chrome detailing combines with the dynamic headlight styling and sculpted alloy wheels to give the new model a premium presence.



Promising precise control and accomplished handling, New C4’s driver focused cabin environment combines with impressive acoustic comfort and soundproofing to deliver a true impression of on-road confidence.

New C4 features compact exterior dimensions and generous internal volumes that make it spacious and thoroughly versatile. At just 4.33m long, 1.79m wide and 1.49m high, New C4 is just 5cm longer, 2cm wider and 3cm taller than the current model. The 408-litre boot is the biggest in its class, with practical square dimensions and a lower sill that makes loading even easier.

In addition to optimised accessibility and practicality, the New C4 offers a genuine feeling of well-being on-board - with spacious, comfortable seating and impressive occupant headroom. Personal comfort in the New C4 can be tailored to suit individual requirements with users able to adjust the colour of the driver’s instrument display, select their own ‘polyphonic’ sound alerts, finely adjust the intensity of the airconditioning and even immerse themselves in the rich surround-sound of the new audio system. Some models even come with a new massage function on the front seats..

Since its launch in 2004 the Citroen C4 range has taken its place as one of the most distinctive in the compact family hatchback class. Its stylish, off-the-wall looks, along with Citroen’s usual excellent ride quality have meant that it’s found favour with drivers in the UK who want something a little different from the norm, without sacrificing practicality or paying over the odds. It’s a broad range too, ranging from the sporty new C4 Coupe to the family-friendly C4 Picasso and C4 Grand Picasso.

It’s even made its presence felt in the super-competitive world of the World Rally Championship, with the 315 brake horsepower C4 WRC. The range shares the same unifying traits: fun, function and affordability, with a sense of fun and individuality thrown in for good measure. They can also be quite reasonable in regards to car insurance with a range of engine sizes and trim levels to suit most budgets.
