2008 and New C3 earlier this year, the New Citroen C4 once again demonstrates the expertise of the brand in creating stylish and innovative vehicles with relevant technological advances.
With its sculpted lines and high quality finish, New 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.
Promising 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 current model. The 408-litre boot is the biggest in its class, with practical square dimensions and a lower sill that makes loading even easier.
In addition to optimised accessibility and practicality, the New C4 offers a genuine feeling of well-being on-board
- with spacious, comfortable seating and impressive occupant 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.End of Citroen C4 reviewThe C4's driving experience is very good. The soft suspension delivers a cushioned ride which doesn't deteriorate on rough roads and although there's a delay between turning the steering wheel and anything happening, once into corners, the C4 is well behaved and quite enjoyable. Lazy steering aside, it's a competent car to drive. Some of the petrol engines can disappoint though. The 2.0-litre petrol unit is ageing and the sporty 180bhp VTS version never really offers true hot hatch go. Diesels, in contrast, are very good. Both 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre HDi units provide plenty of punch, strong torque and very smooth, refined manners. Elsewhere though, both the gearbox and brakes come in for criticism. The former has a mushy shift, while the latter's soft pedal has too much travel and no bite, with modest stopping power.
Marketplace:
Arguably the most handsome car in its sector, the C4 is elegant, well detailed and oozes French style. It comes either as a smart five-door hatch or more radical three-door, which Citroen near-viably calls a 'coupe'. But to confuse matters, while engines are shared across both variants, trim levels are unique to bodystyle, making for a muddled line-up. It's hard to compare three- and five-door models for standard equipment, and makes comparisons with rivals tricky too. Vauxhall's Astra is the C4's most obvious rival, as it comes in practical five-door and more sporty three-door format. Renault takes a similar approach to a lesser degree with the Megane, while the five-door Honda Civic is probably the most radical family hatchback there's ever been. More conventional competitors include sister company Peugeot's 307, the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf.
Owning:
If only the Citroen's exterior style were matched by its interior. On first inspection, the unusual layout and static-hub steering wheel bode well, but the ergonomics are flawed. It's as if Citroen's designers got so bogged down with the hi-tech layout, the forgot to make it user-friendly. The stereo and heating controls are mounted too low, you need long thumbs to reach the tiny buttons on the wheel hub, and there are four different digital displays. What's more, storage is limited and at the rear, only Seat's Leon is more cramped for occupants, while the 320-litre boot is among the smallest in the family hatchback sector. Furthermore, while diesel engines are economical, those ageing petrol engines return unimpressive mpg figures, while Citroen's willingness to offer cashback deals on new vehicles hurts retained values. Surprisingly, the C4 also proves expensive to service - but as those intervals are stretched to 20,000 miles, costs should be comparable with rivals.

Good Afternoon

[@mrmogish]

I've got a hdi 90 version. Love it. Soft ride but confident handling. It's not as sharp as a focus(I've owned a few of them too) but you can still carry just as much speed through the bends. The hdi has bags of torque and only really feels strained when pushed over 4000 rpm but there's no need to do that. Between 1750 and 3500 rpm is it's sweet spot and can be surprisingly brisk if kept around it's power band. Chasing the red line is a waste of time.

The new one has much nicer interior and much nicer seats. It looks boring on the outside, but inside it feels like 1 class above the old one.
