In four years, several important players have appeared in the lower middle class , starting with the Volkswagen Golf and ending with the Peugeot 308. In this context, only the slight facelift of the Citroën C4 , which was introduced just four years ago, seems like a questionable decision at least.
If you are not a die-hard fan of the mid-size hatchback, you may not even notice the design changes. The biggest one is obviously the installation of LEDs for daytime running lights in the front lights, which also have a slightly darker background than before, or the creation of a modern 3D effect in the rear lights. The bonnet and front bumper were also slightly modified, the range of body paints now includes Platinum Gray and Spirit Grey. Miami seventeens appear in the offer of alloy wheels, but you can also have rims one inch larger.
We register slightly more changes in the interior, where there are fewer buttons thanks to the seven-inch touchscreen , which can be used to control navigation, multimedia and the phone. The range of fabric covers has been revised, now including grey-black or pure grey. For an additional fee, the C4 can be equipped with a panoramic roof with an area of 1.3 m 2 and electric blind or massage driver's seat. Electronic assistants include blind spot monitoring , hill start assistant, intelligent traction control, or keyless entry or car start.
Modern three-cylinder PureTech petrol units with turbocharging, meeting the Euro 6 emission standard, will (finally) get under the hood. will say about 4.7 l/100 km. The more powerful PureTech 130 S&S has 130 hp at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm at 1,750 rpm and, in combination with a six-speed automatic, claims 4.8 l/100 km. In addition to the new three-cylinders, the BlueHDi four-cylinder diesel will also be available, also meeting the Euro 6 emission standard. The BlueHDi 100 has 100 horses at 3750 rpm and 254 Nm at 1750 rpm, the BlueHDi 120 S&S has 120 horses at 3500 rpm. min and 300 Nm at 1750 rpm.
