New Citroen C4, the renewal of a bestseller
The Citroen C4 was launched today with the aspiration to be a different car, with a bold design and interior details such as the fixed wheel in the center. His courage will be served for years in senior sales rankings. Right? No. The reality of the car market is that anyone who dares to be different is never going to be number one, and the sales volume is achieved with adjusted prices and bold solutions.

With the new Citroën C4 strategy changes, a more conservative design, especially if we are talking about Citroën, intending to fight with their rivals on their own merits and not be “original.” Outside we find a collage of C5 (front) and C3 (back). Possibly time to change our perspective, when we evaluate on its own merits and not compared with other models in the range, but the feeling is now front and utility cochazo behind.
As usual the new version outperforms the previous one in size. It grows 5 cm long (4.33 m), 2 wide (1.79 m) and three high (1.49 m). Its trunk is 408 liters and promises a cubic shape and a low load mouth to make it more convenient and flexible.
Interior
The new C4 almost nailed into the Citroën DS High Rider . It is somewhat overloaded, with many buttons, but much nicer than its predecessor , with aggressive but well-drawn lines in which it emphasizes the sense of quality and technology, feeling that must be checked once uploaded to it.
Leather seats, which of course are not standard, are also complex design and prototype feeling. The gap between interior and exterior of the new C4 is quite pronounced, and the seats are a representative point of the complexity of its design.
Technological equipment of the new Citroën C4
One of the selling points for Citroën in general and in particular the C4. What does the new model in this regard? Some already known, either in the C4 or other models are the electric parking brake, the alert involuntary change lanes (the C4 was one of the first to take and now adopted by many) or bi-xenon adaptive lights .
Among the new features we can highlight a surveillance system, blind spot , possibly indicating the presence in the rearview mirror of a car in the blind spot (that area not seen in either the interior or exterior rear-view mirror).
The new Citroën C4 will also incorporate a variable speed controller , capable of storing multiple speeds, a system which does not clearly see its usefulness.
Finally, the service eTouch Citroën will provide basic connectivity to the car, via a card SIM installed. Allow the emergency call in case of accidents or calls to technical support. It also integrates a maintenance card and a service called Eco Driving possibly record the data from our driving mode and allow us to consult them on the computer.
Engines, price and the marketing of the new Citroën C4
Not yet know the range of engines, but advance two key points will e-HDi hybrid versions that next to Stop & Start system CO get 2less than 100 g / km (announces a 99 and a 109). Michelin Energy Saver tires mounted to 15% of the car will be “green” materials. Citroën Although not explain what you mean with this (in the pictures it seems that the color can be chosen), we assume that there is an increase of recyclable materials used in their manufacture and that not only is in good words.
The Citroën C4 will be released in late 2010, at prices yet to be determined. Perhaps what we see in the Paris Salon in October, just months before it reaches dealers.
