Citroen 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 a high
level 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 demonstrates the expertise
of the brand in designing stylish and innovative vehicles with relevant technological advances.
With its sculpted lines and high quality finish, new Citroen 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.
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 existing model. The 408 litre boot is the biggest in its class, with practical
dimensions and a lower sill that makes loading even easier.
In addition to optimised accessibility and practicality, the new C4 offers a feeling of well-being
on-board - with spacious, comfortable seating and impressive 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
air-conditioning 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.
Alongside existing range technologies, such as EGS (Electronic Gearbox System), hill start assist,
automatic electric parking brake, Lane Departure Warning System and Xenon dual-function directional
headlamps, new C4 will be available with convenient and useful new technologies - some of which are
unique to the segment. These include a new blind-spot monitoring system, a cornering light function,
cruise control and speed-limiter with road speed memory settings, and an innovative new service called
eTouch.

As well as offering on-board emergency assistance, Citroën’s eTouch system enables drivers to
monitor their driving patterns and fuel consumption, and receive advice on how to improve their fuel
economy. The system also allows drivers to consult their vehicle’s technical status and monitor any
necessary maintenance or servicing requirements.
Designed to be an environmentally respectful family car, the new C4 uses the latest Citroën
technology to reduce its environmental impact. New C4 will be available with Citroën’s new micro-hybrid
e-HDi powertrains, which feature the latest generation Stop & Start system that helps deliver CO2
emissions as low as 109 g/km at launch - and 99 g/km on future models. Michelin Energy™ Saver tyres
are also specified to help achieve these low emissions and to boost fuel economy. The control of the
car’s overall weight - in spite of the increased dimensions and added equipment - has been achieved
using new technologies, such as laser welding, in the model’s construction. The use of 15% ‘green’
materials - for example, re-cycled polyamide components - also enhances new Citroen C4’s environmental
credentials.
The new Citroen C4 will be manufactured at the Mulhouse PSA Peugeot Citroën plant in France. The
new model is expected to premiere at the Paris Motor Show in September. An Australian launch in
mid-2011 is scheduled.
