With an innovative new look and a unique identity, New Citroën C4 and ë-C4 – 100% electric are set to shake up the compact hatchback segment.

Orders books are open from today and first customer deliveries are set to commence early 2021.

Designed to stand out in the C-segment, New C4 and ë-C4 combine the dynamism of a hatchback while adopting certain SUV styling details for a bold new look. New C4 and ë-C4 incorporate Citroën’s latest design language, with the brand’s new V-shaped LED lighting signature front and rear, and a sleek silhouette for optimised aerodynamics. True to Citroën’s “Inspired By You” philosophy, customers have the option of choosing up to 31 combinations of body colours and Colour Packs.

Inside, drivers and passengers benefit from the latest developments in the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme. One of the key features is the suspension system with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® that is standard specification across the range. The suspension integrates hydraulic bump stops to better control compression and rebound on uneven surfaces. This ensures that the suspension travel is much more progressive than on many competitors’ cars, allowing New Citroën C4 and ë-C4 to offer unrivalled ride comfort.

Another cornerstone of Citroën Advanced Comfort® on New C4 and ë-C4 is the availability of sumptuous Advanced Comfort seats. With broad cushions and seat backs, they combine high-density foam at the heart of each seat, to keep you comfortable and relaxed on longer drives, and a thick 15mm layer of extra textured foam on the surface. As standard on all versions in the range, they ensure optimum comfort on any journey.

Comfort is enhanced still further in a number of other ways, including the provision of generous interior space – including “Best in Class” rear knee room – clever storage compartments, the fitment of physical climate control switchgear on the dashboard and Smart Pad Support Citroën™, which allows the front passenger to securely attach their tablet computer to a dedicated dashboard mounted support.

New C4 is available in four levels of trim: ‘Sense’, ‘Sense Plus’, ‘Shine’ and ‘Shine Plus’.

New ë-C4 is available in three trim levels: ‘Sense Plus’, ‘Shine’ and ‘Shine Plus’.

All New ë-C4 models feature a 50kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a 100kW (136hp) electric motor. With a WLTP-approved range of up to 217 miles on a single charge, New ë-C4 will exceed the daily range requirements of most private and fleet drivers. Supporting CCS rapid charging as standard on all models, an 80% charge will take just 30 minutes on a 100 kW rapid charger. For regular home charging a Type 2 charging cable is included as standard, allowing a regular 7.4kW charger to reach a 100% charge in seven hours and 30 minutes.

‘Sense’ models come as standard with: LED headlights, ‘V’ signature daytime running lights, fog lights, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Also standard is a 10-inch high-resolution touchscreen with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto, alongside DAB radio. ‘Sense’ models also feature Citroën’s Standard Safety Pack with video assisted Active Safety Brake, Speed Limit Information, Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Attention Alert and Forward Collision Warning.
