Appearance crossover style Small Versailles
As a sister model of the previously released new generation Peugeot 408 X, Citroën C4 span>Similar design concept, using a crossover shape, integrating coupe and SUV design elements.
The front face still adopts the latest family-style design style. The split light group and Citroën’s classic car logo form an X shape, making the entire front of the car highly recognizable. The raised ribs on the cabin cover The lines look very powerful like a coupe.
The irregular headlights have a tough shape, and the built-in matrix light source adopts Citroën LED Vision lighting technology, which has a good lighting effect.

Macro V shaped ” pattern. The hexagonal lower grille is flanked by unique fog lamp bezels on either side, the inserts of which are color-coordinated with the Airbump panels on the doors.
Looking from the side, the Citroën C4 The elements are very individual, but personally I think the too-long tail is a bit uncoordinated. Maybe the hatchback C4 looks better.
The larger 690 mm diameter wheels combined with the short front overhang make the carThe driving visibility is better, giving the driver peace of mind. Matt black protective wheel arches and lower body skirts with Airbump panels and recessed chrome trim add to the feeling of solidity and protection.
Due to the fastback shape, the panoramic sunroof at the top is not large, but it can still provide good natural lighting in the car. The sunroof can be opened backwards, and the opening area is also small.

The irregularly shaped LED taillight set is very unique. A white line is added in the middle of the red lampshade, extending radially towards the side of the car body, complementing the unique headlights and further amplifying the vitality of the tail silhouette.
Unfortunately, although it adopts a coupe design, it does not have a hatchback tailgate design similar to C4, but an ordinary car-style tailgate opening method, and the luggage compartment space has reached 510L, only the obvious steps can be seen when the rear seat backrests are folded down, which will affect the practicality.
In terms of size, the Citroen C4 andC5 between C4 is the same, both are 2670mm, and the estimated minimum ground clearance is also 156mm.

Editor's comment: In the past, the design of many French cars made people feel "weird", which is why even if almost no one hacked the three major features of French cars, But this is one of the reasons why French cars are still not popular in China. But now it seems to be the other way around. The exterior design of the new Citroen C4 the reader’s attention. However, judging from the current information, if we want to replicate the successful experience of Versailles in the country, it is estimated thatIt’s a bit difficult. The fuel version C4 360 kilometers, if imported into the country, it will not be able to beat many competitors.
