New C4 and ë-C4 are available to order now via the online Citroën Store, and at all Citroën Retailers (where local restrictions allow*^). First customer deliveries are scheduled for early 2021.

    With a bold new look and a unique identity, New C4 and ë-C4 are ready to shake up the compact hatchback segment. Both New C4 and ë-C4 exceed C- Hatch customer expectations with the same energetic and assertive design, whether opting for the new 100% battery electric powertrain or the combustion powered petrol or Diesel versions.

    In addition to the strong residual values enjoyed across the entire New C4 range, Citroën UK is offering retail PCP finance customers^^ the opportunity to upgrade to the next trim level – free of charge. Available on selected models**, retail customers are able to enjoy a wealth of additional specification at no additional cost.

    This means a customer opting for a New C4 ‘Sense Plus’, would receive a free upgrade to ‘Shine’ trim, worth up to £1,000 – with the addition of dark tinted rear windows, Active Safety Brake, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Blind Spot Detection, Keyless Entry & Start, and front and rear parking sensors. New ë-C4 customers taking advantage of this offer also benefit from a heated steering wheel.

    In turn, retail customers who opt for the well-appointed ‘Shine’ trim level will be automatically upgraded to the range-topping ‘Shine Plus’ trim. ‘Shine Plus’ models enjoy a wealth of additional specification including Citroën’s premium HiFi system featuring uprated speakers and the addition of a subwoofer, black ‘Siena’ leather and textile upholstery, driver’s seat electric adjustment, heated front seats, four USB sockets and a wireless smartphone charging pad. An impressive upgrade leaving customers wanting for nothing in terms of specification – worth an impressive £1,200.

    In addition to the already compelling free trim level upgrade offer, retail ë-C4 customers will also receive a Pod Point Solo Smart Charger – also free of charge. Retailing at £509 (after the application of an existing £350 Government Grant) customers will be able to enjoy this incredibly useful home-charging solution free of charge. Plugged in at home to the Pod Point Solo Smart Charger 7kW, ë-C4 can charge fully in 7.5 hours. New ë-C4 offers a WLTP-approved range of up to 217 miles on a single charge.

    Citroën Store, which launched earlier this year in partnership with PSA Finance, offers retail customers the opportunity to complete the entire purchase of their New Citroën C4 or ë-C4, exclusively and simply, from the comfort of their own home. Customers are able to browse the website, use the car configurator, visit the Virtual Showroom, personalise their finance options, value their part exchange, select their preferred Retailer, place an order online and arranging either ‘click and collect’ or home delivery for early 2021 – when first deliveries are anticipated..

    Making the purchase experience totally seamless from launch, Citroën UK has created a pre-recorded ‘Preview Show’ with New C4 and ë-C4 in the brand’s Virtual Showroom, with the aim of answering key questions potential customers may have about the new models. Hosted by experienced motoring journalist and racing driver Rebecca Jackson, the 15-minute video details the key points on each vehicle and provides an essential overview of the two models, concluding with a Q&A session.

  • 2015 Citroen C4 Saloon Will Conquer the Chinese Roads

    2015 Citroen C4 SaloonCitroën is ready to present the latest C4 saloon model to the Chinese public and will make it at the    2015 Chengdu Motor Show, held from 4 to 13 September. The model is set for launch at the end of this year and it is planned to replace the C-Quatre in the “three-box” C-segment. Furthermore, the new C4 saloon is a further asset in Citroën’s sales following the successful launch of the C3-XR SUV.

    To be precise, Citroën team will unveil an interesting vehicle, especially restyled to fit the needs of the Chinese market. The vehicle is 4.55m long and is positioned in the core three-box saloon C-segment, placed between the C-C-Elysée and the C4 L. The launch of the model will ensure optimal coverage in the Chinese market and it is expected that it will gain vast popularity due to the popularity of the C-middle segment saloon models accounted for 60%  of passenger car sales in 2014. In fact,  the C-segment in general represents more than one out of two passenger vehicles sold.

    2015 Citroen C4 Saloon

    Beautiful, spacious and cozy, the C4 saloon has a lot to offer in terms of performance, technology and safety. The fresh vehicle now comes with a 130 hp (95 kW) 3-cylinder petrol engine, paired to either manual or automatic transmission. There are also numerous hi-tech technologies incorporated as a standard equipment: touch screen, hands free access and start and blind sport monitoring system.

    So, it looks sweet, promises comfortable ride and has numerous interesting features. Now we wonder what would the Chinese customers say about it.

  • Citroen Roll Out The C4 Cactus

    Citroen-C4-Cactus-shadowCitroen-C4-Cactus-mediumThis is the completely real (as in “production”) Citroen C4 Cactus here to rock your world.  Now, we know you might be thinking, “Production you say? Then what are those designy thingies on it?”

    Ah, you see, that’s the Cactus’ thermoplastic polyurethane shell (TPU). Well, here’s a more rustic name for it: Airbump® – it’s supposed to do away with dents and scratches in real life. Found on the front and rear bumpers and the sides, the Airbump® provides a type of buffer zone which protects the actual body. We guess “bubble wrap” was already taken, huh?

    So we have cushions on the outside, a mind-bending array of driving aids – park assist, a reversing camera, hill-start assist, to name a few – have they lost all confidence in the human proneness to accidents…oh.

    Yes, “clever” is the word of the day. The C4 is sleek and slippery, it’s spacious, comfortable and very high-tech….for a cactus. Who needs dials and needles nowadays when there’s an app for that? A 7-inch touchscreen conjures up any cluster you might fancy – from the air conditioning controls to the yellow pages index. Face it, we’ve all felt the need to order Chinese whilst behind the wheel. Feel free to order as much as you want too. See, despite being arguably small (4.16 m long; 1.73 m wide) the Cactus is till a C-class vehicle. Ergo, you still get a 358 liter boot. A UV-protective panoramic roof amplifies the sense of space even more.

    If you go for the optional Efficient Tronic Gearbox (ETG) you also lose the stick. Instead, there’s this selection system that Citroen is trying to push on us called the Easy Push. Yeah, we made the lamest pun ever.

    And no, the Cactus doesn’t have an iPhone for an engine, but there is no fusion reactor to be found either? More like a 110bhp turbo three-cylinder petrol at best. But that’s ok because the whole thing weighs no more than a 1000 kg thanks to a heavy aluminum diet. It shouldn’t be too sluggish is what we mean. And with the Stop/Start system as standard, the Cacti (plural) fuel economy and emission values are rated at around 91.1 mpg and less than 100 g/km of CO2 – cleanliness truly is next to godliness.

  • 2012 Citroen C4 AIRCROSS SUV

    2012 Citroen C4 Aircross ThumbCitroën is expanding its range with a new vehicle named 2012 Citroën C4 AIRCROSS, which is a fresh take on conventional compact SUV design. The new Citroën C4 AIRCROSS will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year. The new vehicle speaks loudly about its new styling – the Citroën C4 AIRCROSS combines the elegance of brand saloons with the more muscular lines of an off-roader. When one looks it from the front, one sees the wide chrome grille displaying the chevron badge, giving the vehicle a strong identity. Viewed from the side one sees a chrome compass, identifying this car as a member of the Marque’s SUV family. This SUV sits on wide 18-inch alloy wheels and has rear lights, inspired by the Citroën C4 hatchback and Hypnos concept car. This was made in order to optimize air flow and cut CO2 emissions. Of course, the designers of Citroen have put a lot of attention on the details, thus making it delivering even more style and efficiency. At the front, for example, the daytime running LED lights are integrated vertically into the aerodynamic vents. In addition, the door mirrors have built-in indicator repeater lights, while the rear light clusters feature light guides. Another interesting instance is that a rearview camera is concealed in the chrome trim of the tailgate.

    The 2012 Citroën C4 AIRCROSS has a brand new new-generation four-wheel drive transmission, which will make the drive even more enjoyable. This is an innovational technology, which takes in account the driver input, road conditions and vehicle speed, and thus distributing torque optimally between the front and rear wheels at all times. This system also minimizes fuel consumption by using low-viscosity oil in the transfer box. Depending on the driving conditions, customers can select one of three possible transmission modes using a control behind the gear lever: a 4-wheel drive (4WD) mode, which automatically distributes torque between the front and rear axles; a “Lock” mode, which maximizes traction in extreme conditions, increasing the torque transmitted to the rear wheels by 50% compared with 4WD mode; and a 2-wheel drive (2WD) mode, which minimizes fuel consumption by reducing the number of moving parts (only the front axle is engaged).

    The new Citroën C4 AIRCROSS ranks among the best in its segment for low CO2 emissions. We are speaking here about the model with HDi 115 engine, which is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. In a 2-wheel drive version it emits just 119 g of CO2/km and in 4 wheel drive version emitting just 129 g of CO2/km. This 1.6 litre engine delivers 115 hp (85 kW) for maximum torque of 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) from 1,750 rpm, and up to 280 Nm (207 lb-ft) with the temporary overboost function. There is also a 1.8 litre engine included in the lineup, which is the only diesel on the market to feature variable valve timing, which gives it a lower compression ratio (14:1) than any other diesel engine. The 1.6 litre engine features a double overhead camshaft, 16 valves and variable valve timing. It combines high standards of performance with low emissions, developing 115 hp (85 kW) for CO2 emissions of just 135 g/km.

    2012 Citroen C4 Aircross
    2012 Citroen C4 Aircross

    There is also a 150 hp (110 kW) 2.0i petrol engine included in the lineup. It has a five-speed manual gearbox or continuously variable transmission (CVT). It also includes 16 valves, an aluminium cylinder block and variable valve timing. All these engines feature technologies designed to cut CO2 emissions: Stop&Start technology; an electronically controlled alternator that recovers energy during braking and deceleration; electric power steering that consumes energy only when the steering wheel is turning.

    The new Citroen model offers compact dimensions. It is 4.34 m long, 1.80 m wide, 1.63 m tall. Moreover the Citroën C4 AIRCROSS is surprisingly spacious, with a cabin worthy of the next class up. With five seats and a boot volume of 442 litres, it is very convenient for everyday use. Furthermore, to enhance the joy from driving, the Citroën C4 AIRCROSS is fitted with MacPherson type front suspension and a multi-link set-up at the rear. It also offers an great safety level by combining driving aids such as ESP with skid control ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution, hill-start assist.

    What about the new design of the exterior? First of all the new 2012 Citroën C4 AIRCROSS features a large glazed panoramic sunroof with UV protection and a one-touch electric blind. It also has LED light guides built into the roof turn it amber. The steering wheel is leather-covered and adjustable for height and reach, with controls for the audio system, cruise control and hands-free kit. The front seats provide excellent support and multi-way adjustment. They are available in two versions: electric and heated. The driving comfort is further improved by the automatic headlights, automatic wipers and an electrochrome interior door mirror. The cabin includes a host of storage compartments and the large glovebox is lit and chilled. The front and rear central armrests feature two ergonomic beaker-holders and a compartment equipped with a 12V socket, a USB port and auxiliary audio jack.

    The Citroën C4 AIRCROSS is all about technological innovation, and includes a top-level hi-fi system worthy of a saloon. It delivers total power of 710 watts and comprises of eight loudspeakers placed around the cabin, a 25-centimetre woofer with a dual voicecoil, and a20-litre cabinet installed on the left-hand side of the boot. There is also included a high-performance GPS navigation system with a 7-inch touch screen. For even more safety the navigation system is associated with a color rearview camera and rear parking sensors. The all-new Citroën C4 AIRCROSS also includes a Bluetooth hands-free telephone function.

    The SUV offers as well a high level of passive safety, thank to its extremely stiff body structure. A high level of passive safety keeps the survival cell intact and sets high standards in vibration comfort for all the occupants. Moreover, the Citroën C4 AIRCROSS is equipped with a safety system on the brake pedal, which prevents protrusion of the brake pedal in the event of high-speed impact. The vehicle includes as well seven airbags as standard.
