Citroen has given their mighty C4 hatchback a facelift for 2015. The French are known for creating some of the most popular compact cars to date and the C4 is certainly proving to be a top contender. The facelift has been a result of Citroen’s revaluation of where they stand in the market. Citroen boss John Startari recognised that “The sales mix and customer feedback tells us Citroen buyers expect luxury features … with the C4 we’ve adjusted the specification to reflect that.”
Let’s take a look at these developments…
Sleek, modern exterior
On the exterior, Citroen has updated the look of the car with sleek lines, new lights and brushing chrome features creating a more 3D-effect. The goal is to enhance the uniqueness of the C4 and preserve Citroen’s brand as instantly recognisable. Chrome finished modules shine brightly to show the finer details of the bodywork.
Comfortable ride
The interior hosts a range of features for an ultimately comfortable ride. An uncluttered dashboard is home to a new 7-inch Touch Screen with built-in satnav. Comfortable seats provide you with premium comfort and support as you travel over bumps and ruts with ease.
Practicality is a first for the Citroen C4, it drives around town effortlessly and the responsive ultra-light steering makes parking a pleasure. The versatile boot space can support 408-litres along with foldable rear seats to take care of your entire luggage stress-free.
Smooth engine performance
The major improvements are revealed in the drive-train. The Citroen C4’s predecessor hosted a thirsty 1.6-litre petrol engine with a four-speed automatic gearbox. This has been replaced by an ultra-smooth 1.3-litre three-cylinder turbo engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Engine noise is hardly noticeable unless you put your foot flat to the floor, you will find driving around urban areas enjoyable. Long journeys are no longer a concern with the C4’s perky engine and fluid gear-changes you will reach your destination.
All these luxury features compliment Citroen’s C4 package into the top-end hatchback market. To find out more information about this fantastic car, visit Howards Citroen Taunton or Weston-super-Mare.
