2011 Citroen C4 Official Details and Photos

French manufacturer Citroen had just revealed the first details and photos showing the new C4. The model has been extensively revised compared to the previous version, in both styling and performance terms. Aside from optimized aerodynamics, the visual aspect of the car is enhanced by chrome detailing, dynamic headlight styling and alloy wheels.

At just 4.33m long, 1.79m wide and 1.49m high, the New C4 is just 5cm longer, 2cm wider and 3cm taller than the current model.

Inside, the car has been tailored to suit individual requirements. Users are able to adjust the color of the driver’s instrument display, select their own ‘polyphonic’ sound alerts, customize the intensity of the air-conditioning, as well as enjoy the new audio system. The French manufacturer says that some models even come with a new massage function on the front seats.

Performance wise, the New C4 benefits from new micro-hybrid e-HDi powertrains with Stop & Start systems that help the vehicle deliver CO2 emissions of 109 g/km at launch and 99 g/km on future variants. These figures will also be achieved thanks to the Michelin Energy Saver tires.

Technologies fitted on the new C4 include the existing EGS (Electronic Gearbox System), hill start assist, automatic electric parking brake, Lane Departure Warning System and Xenon dual-function directional headlamps, as well as a new blind-spot monitoring system, a cornering light function, cruise control and speed-limiter with road speed memory settings, and eTouch.

The innovative 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,” the company explains in a statement.

According to Citroen, the New C4 will be produced at the Mulhouse PSA Peugeot Citroen plant in France and will premiere at the Paris Motor Show this September, where the manufacturer will reveal further details.
