Citroen C4 (2021) review: take a chill pill
Citroen C4 reborn as a hatch-SUV mash-up
Electric, diesel or this petrol engine
Prices from £21k, in showrooms now
The new C4 is a sign of confident Citroen slotting positively into top gear. All the attributes of new Citroen - polarising design, blissful comfort, SUV machismo, electrified drivetrains - are present, and turned up to onze.
Its design melds an SUV’s ride height and plastic body protection with a coupe’s raked roofline and teardrop glasshouse, plus a five-door hatchback’s practicality - perhaps the most crossover of crossovers. There aren’t that many midsize SUV coupes from mainstream car makers (yet), so its closest rivals are the Kia Xceed and Toyota C-HR.
The C4 is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine with three power outputs (99, 129 and 153bhp), two flavours of 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel (108 and 129bhp), and a pure electric e-C4 with a lab-rated 217 miles of range which we’ve reviewed separately. Here we’re driving the 130 Puretech petrol with 129bhp and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
What are your first impressions?
It’s comfier than your favourite armchair, and quieter than a weekend when the kids are at grandma’s. The ride is terrific at higher speeds in particular, ebbing and flowing with the contours of the road, pitching slightly under braking and riding sharp bumps and crests smoothly. It's all rather remarkable on what is a mainstream car.
Thank the standard ‘progressive cushions’ - hydraulic stops at the end of the damper stroke, which absorb and release kinetic energy to prevent bouncing. Despite the soft suspension set-up, the C4’s no wobbly jelly though, with body movements controlled and quick to settle.
On the motorway, the Puretech 130 is nice and calm, with a murmur of engine and a trickle of wind. Citroën’s acoustic efforts to drive out noise have worked.
By the way, driving the petrol and electric C4 back-to-back, the combustion engine car has the edge on comfort, making the heavier EV feeling a bit more lumpen. But it’s all relative: the e-C4 is still a refined thing. The standard wheel size for both is 18-inches.
What does all this comfort bias mean for dynamics?
There’s sufficient front-end grip and the steering is accurate, but at urban speeds, it feels a bit light and slow off-the-dead. It doesn’t have the super-eager response of its Peugeot 2008 cousin, which sounds like smart portfolio management. As with the ride, the steering feels better at speed, getting more reassuring weight. Still, that slow-speed lightness makes multistorey car park navigation a doddle.
Acceleration is adequate, with 0-62mph in 9.4secs: in normal mode, the throttle has a pronounced step to avoid accidental kickdown, and the eight-speed automatic transmission races through up the gears in a bid to save fuel. Don’t be surprised to find yourself in seventh at 40mph. Official consumption for this drivetrain is 44-50mpg.
There's a six-speed manual alternative that's half a second quicker to 62mph from standstill, but the shift action's akin to wiggling a plunger on a recalictrant sink - stick with the auto for serenity.
All this may sound like we’re damning the C4 with faint dynamic praise: not so, it’s utterly in keeping with the car’s laid-back vibe. And if you want, you can press the Sport button for perkier throttle response and an engine map holding higher revs and longer shift points. Few will.
What’s it like up front?
The Hype Black interior on top spec Shine Plus cars feels more sober German premium car than charismatic Citroën - sadly, the blue and red interior ambiences won't be offered in the UK, so the alternative is...grey. Hype Black includes leather upholstery sewn in unusual patterns reminiscent of elbow patches, with grey cloth inserts featuring chevron prints in the seats and doors.

Semoga Citroen segera masuk ke Indonesia semua produk otomotifnya. Bagus & keren. Warna cat mobilnya cakep banget🙏
Cette voiture est magnifique 👌👌👌👌👏
That is a good looking car, a refreshing break from the ‘usual’ and unimaginative. Citroën getting their mojo back.
Cars for people who don’t think like sheep but for themselves. And it is, indeed, very comfortable.
You're totally right. I own this car and its totally different from anything on the road. Greetings from Spain.
Quando sair de linha e a tendência de estilo mudar, a Citroën trará aí Brasil 🇧🇷
Lindo de mais top 😍
Very nice design Citroen. Great hardwork. Come to India soon.
Bela máquina de consumo show de bola
Außen wunderschön und von innen erschreckend einfach schlicht gehalten
Perfeito! Pra melhorar , só na minha garagem!
Dying to see this car in India.....eagerly waiting for this car👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Vem para o Brasil, bebê 😍😍😍❤

Schönes Auto, wie immer komfortabel. Schöne Grüße ronactive

The car is on the market now in Europe.

Ojalá algún día los podamos ver en Argentina
what a beautiful car, what a pity it certainly doesn't come to Brazil.
Piękny ❤️❤️❤️
Обожаю французов!!!
А Ситроён....просто фэнтази!!!
Achei muito lindo! Será que vai sair o Sedan?
Qual será o preço dessa jóia rara, sou amante de Citroen.
This car is very good looking nice 🙂🙂
สีสวยโคตรๆ. วาววับ ชอบมากครับสีนี้
De los mejores diseños del 2021. Solo para mejorar el tamaño de la pantalla multimedia ya que si bien se ve grande lo que se puede ocupar no son mas de 7 pulgadas. Pero el diseño enamora.
Esse carro é uma nave.
amazing..feel like buying..but specs need to b known..
Lindo demais tomara que venha para o Brasil
Esquece, aqui só vem refugo
É maravilhoso meu marido encomendou no Chile fui no show Room da Citroen na comuna de providência esse carro é um escândalo.
Should be selling that in the U.S. It has a great design.
Awesome
superb
O interior é lindo
Lindo design externo.
___#Beautiful____Look___👌👌👌
O carro é simplismente lindo por fora!
Ja o interior ficou devendo, achei "muito simples" o interior dele.
Verdade. Achei que ficou parecendo uma cópia barata da BMW X6 ou da Mercedes GLE 63 Coupe.
Le.confort en plus
Dentro fica devendo muito.
Bom é o interior do Corsa
I am a Citroenist 😁👍 I started driving at 18 years old in 1975, my cars: Citroen Dyane Super, Citroen GS Pallas, Fiat Uno SL, Citroen AX, Citroen Saxo 1.5D, Citroen BX TGE, Citroen ZX Tonic, Citroen XSara, Renaul Megane (1 generation), Renault Megane Van, Renault Clio Cdi 1.5 100 hp, Citroen C4 Picasso, Dacia Duster 1.5 ... will I go back to the Citroen family?
Somehow, you managed to skip the best ever Citroën models. 1975 DS21 Pallas, CX 2500 Prestige & SM V6 2.7 - all 3 are still ahead of any model 2021
@@shimondauber8984 The occasion makes the reason 😁 I didn't do Citroen performances, they hurt my real cars, you certainly didn't use them all... I'm only 64 years old 😁👌📷🇵🇹
Bellísimo
Es un Citröen, con eso está dicho todo.
Carro bonito.. bonito carro.
Ê Show de bola na cor preto ou prata então!
J'aime beaucoup la couleur
Beautiful car,Like a traditional Citreon should be...
Thank god they didn't do door slabs like on the cactus a few years back and would have sold more without !
A parte externa achei lindo! Já a parte interna achei simples parecia que os bancos eram de tecido as portas de plástico duro e o painel do motorista pequeno e esquisito para um carro que custa mais de 150 mil deixa muito a desejar!
Nice Car..
Semoga mejeng di Indonesia
xe này đẹp thế mà không bán ở Việt Nam ta vậy
This car look is very unique , stylish , attractive and amazing . Nice one Autoshow
music is best for insomnia
Esta marca cuando llegara a México, me pregunto ?🤔
O que eu mais gostei no carro foi essa saída do escapamento de cano seco, sem nenhuma ponteira cromada ou de alumínio.
Poxa! Fez-me lembrar do meu gol bola que comprei em 2001.
Mexeu no meu emocional e me fez sentir saudades. Kkk
Quando apareceu a traseira saltou aos olhos a magnifica engenharia no escapamento kkkkkkk
Aí você paga 198.000 mil no carro e ainda tem q comprar uma ponteira de alumínio
Deveria ter uma saída de escapamento + ousada 🤔 mas o resto é positivo.
Keren yaa... Harga berapa nh Bang kl buat Indo ?! hehehe....
Jo der hat was . geile Farbe ,geiles Design . Mal etwas anderes .
the background music is like a funeral music
ماشاءالله تبارك الرحمن احله لون احبه ❤🌹💕🤩🥰😍💞👍😘🇮🇶🤗🤗💐❤
Carrão top gan é uma luxúria pôr dentro mais top do que uma Ferrari pôr dentro
Tanto a frente como a traseira parecem uma colcha de retalhos
Aí fica top
Future
Xe này đã có ở Việt nam chưa
Pecou muito no interior,principalmente nos bancos q são horríveis.O escapamento, também deveria ter saídas maiores com acabamento inox.Fora isso é lindo.Deveriam fazer uma caminhonete com essa plataforma.Ficaria incrível,desbancando as concorrentes.
❤❤❤❤
Quando vem pro Brasil ?
Симпатяга однако. Но видимо комплектация в видео далекая от топовой. Видимо соплатформенный Peugeot 2008. Класс! Люблю французов.
Lindo por fora ....qual valor?
Date of launching & price ?
Élégante
Premetto che ho in casa una C4 aircross ed una DS3 , questa nuova C4 SUV non lo so ,non mi convince tanto , e' una bella automobile però dovrei sapere il prezzo del diesel ,
Wann kommt die hydro federung

Xe Pháp lịch lãm
Quisiera uno con suspensión hidroneumática
Cho hỏi ae xe này ở việt nam chỗ nào bán vậy
đẹp
Vai vir ao Brasil?
Esse carro vem para o Brasil???
I wish I could drive the car in 3rd person view
Loooks like front lights are not enough maybe 20-30 more this car need
When launching in India????
As soon as I saw the rear exhaust pipe, the whole power specification failed
Vai vir no Brasil?
Quá đẹp ô tô
А столиков на заднем ряду нет??
Is this available on st maarten
Xe c4 co ban o viet nam chua nieu co cho biet gia
🇺🇦💯👍 Дуже гарний.
Will this be comfortable for 89 year old mum passenger? I've heard Citroën can be comfortable on pot hole roads
Thiết kế bên ngoài thế kia mà để cái anten dài thấy lạc hậu quá
Só vem pro Brasil as porcarias, os luxos ficam na Europa, por isso não vende nada por aqui... Esse carro é show de bola
