Citroën Revises C4


Citroën has facelifted its popular C4 model by adding a handsome new C5-like front end, while the interior boasts better quality materials and a re-located rev-counter. New satellite navigations systems, USB connectivity and a new audio system with a built-in 10GB hard drive are now optional. Available safety features now include adaptive Xenon headlamps, lane departure warning system; cruise control and hill start assist. The 1.6-litre engine now gets variable valve timing, boosting output to 120hp and 160Nm of torque, while reducing fuel economy to 6.7L/100 km and CO2 output to 159g/km (VRT Band D). The 143hp, 2.0-litre petrol engine is replaced by PSA's 1.6-litre turbo engine, which produces more power and torque (150hp and 240Nm) but with improved economy (6.9 l/100 km) and Band D emissions (164g/km CO2). A new twin-clutch transmission will also be offered. The 1.6-litre HDi turbo-diesels (92hp and 110hp) both fall into VRT Band A thanks to their ultra-low CO2 emissions while the 138hp 2.0-litre HDi is now Band B clean.
