CITROEN C4
Mondial de l'Automobile 2004

A SALOON, A COUPE
CITROEN`S NEW MID-RANGE OFFERING




Citroen is premiering the C4 - its new mid-range offering - at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. The C4 is available in saloon and coupe form: two vehicles of innovative styling and features.



A COUPE AND A SALOON: DIFFERENT STYLES, SAME INTERIOR SPACE

The C4 Saloon and the C4 Coupe each have their own distinctive style. However, they share the same generous interior space, contributing to the comfort of the passenger compartment.

The saloon has rounded forms, while the coupe favours a sharper line. Both vehicles share smooth, fluid lines for outstanding aerodynamics, one of Citroen`s traditional strengths (Cd of 0.28 for the coupe and 0.29 for the saloon). The two vehicles also share the same interior space. Passengers at the rear enjoy a generous level of knee room, which is among the best in the segment (17 cm when the front seat is pushed back to the maximum).


INNOVATIONS FOR ONBOARD COMFORT AND RELAXED DRIVING

The on-board comfort of the C4 is enhanced by innovative functions designed for easy, relaxed driving.

For example, the multifunctional fixed-centred controls steering wheel brings the main comfort functions and driving aids within easy reach. This ergonomic feature, which places the emphasis on easy-to-use controls, promotes driving pleasure.

The steering wheel is associated with a translucent instrument cluster of new design, which displays driving information (vehicle speed, speed limiter and cruise control settings, etc.) on a translucent strip in the centre of the dashboard. The display contrast adjusts instantly to ambient light conditions to ensure a clear read-out at all times. 

The C4 also features a wide array of modern and efficient driving aids. The lane departure warning system is a major step forward in driving safety. At speeds of over 80 kph, this system warns the driver if the car crosses a continuous or broken lane marking, if the indicator has not been activated.

The C4 introduces a range of equipment usually found only further up the market, including Xenon dual-function directional headlamps and front parking assistance. A speed limiter and low tyre-pressure detection - two features rarely seen in this segment - are also available.

All these advanced functions create a relaxed atmosphere in the passenger compartment, further enhanced by the scented air freshener styled to match the interior, and the laminated side windows for acoustic comfort. In terms of practical features, the C4 features a host of stowage compartments including a boot foldaway partition to hold objects firmly in place. 

On-board comfort also means relaxed driving in all circumstances. With its advanced equipment and features, the C4 offers high-level active and passive safety, along with polished road manners.
