Citroen’s C4 has forged quite a reputation for itself since its launch in 2004, due in part to its the dancing Transformer TV advertising and its four (and counting) World Rally Championship titles. A ‘new look’ C4 has just been introduced which features a number of changes and improvements.
For a 130mph/150hp car, a combined mpg figure of 40.9 looks pretty good, until you compare it with the 2.0 HDI’s 53.3mpg. But then the 143hp HDI VTS costs £18,895, or £1,400 more than the £17,495 1.6 petrol VTS, so as is so often the case, the manufacturer provides the choice - all you have to do is estimate your annual mileage, fuel costs and likely period of ownership… Other relevant ownership figures are group 10 insurance, 164g/km of CO2, a 3yr/60,000m warranty and 20,000m service intervals. On a more subjective level, the C4 VTS is very easy on the eye, it’s refined, comfortable and also great to drive, and you can’t ask for much more than that.
There is nothing to compare the new Citroën C4 Coupe to - it stands alone in its class when it comes to style, and it’s ahead of the pack when it comes to technology. And it’s roomy, comfortable and packed with great features to keep you safe, relaxed and fully equipped for today’s driving conditions.
