Citroen went back to its ideas to make cars differently than anyone else and introduced the C4 hatchback in 2004 with some unique features and design language.
While the Xsara was a suitable vehicle, it wasn't that much different than other cars on the market. Its styling war rather bland than daring, and its interior had nothing unusual for its segment.
The car's rounded design made it look bigger than it was. Its shape was unique on the market, with a rounded and extended profile that ended into a curved rear end. At the front, the C4 featured boomerang-type headlights. Its hood was adorned with a wide, chromed decoration with the "double-chevron" badge in the middle. Two chromed lines marked the bounders between the grille and the bumper, which sported a center grille at the bottom and the fog lights on the outer side. Citroen installed the taillights high on the C-pillars at the back, protecting them from small parking bumps.
Inside, the C4 was completely different than any other car on the market. The steering wheel hub was fixed and sported several buttons for the audio system and the onboard computer. On the wide and long dashboard, the carmaker installed the speedometer in the middle, in a digital instrument cluster. The tachometer was mounted in front of the driver, behind the steering wheel, in an LCD. Depending on the trim level and options, a navigation system took most part of the center stack. Another unique feature was the perfume dispenser integrated into the ventilation system, so no more trees hanging on the rear-view mirror.
Under the hood, Citroen installed a wide choice of engines, either gasoline or turbo-diesel.
