Some people are fond of cars that are good to drive and ready to satisfy the keen driver in them. But this is not preferred by all. For some comfort of a ride counts more than how much quicker it is.
These are the moderate people who are happy if they are not tired whether they are driving on a long or a short route, it has simple controls, practicality and economy side is up to mark. For all such people, the Citroen C4 is a lovely choice.
It has a good styling sense, the inner is cosy, the suspension is soft and it cruises well on the motorway especially easy on the driver due to its simplicity. The interior is made from premium looking materials which give an elegant look which is loved by the majority.
In fact, it is a sweet family car in which everyone can enjoy. The only thing which keeps this car from getting to the level of leading ones is that there is nothing striking about it. But it is very popular among those who love this type and especially it has a lesser price than many of the rivals.
There is petrol as well as diesel engines which you can select from according to your need. To start with petrol engines there is a 1.4-litre VTi giving away 95 bhp. Up next is the 1.6-litre VTi to provide 120bhp which covers 0-62 mph in 10.8 sec.
There is a THP version of 1.6-litre having 155 bhp; it is a range topper covering up to 62 mph in 8.7 sec. Next is the diesel engine that starts from 1.6-litre with 90 bhp. Then there is an HDi version of the same engine which improves the power to 110 bhp.
There is also a hybrid version called e-HDi with 110 bhp. The 2.0-litre HDi engine which is called the range topper produces 150 bhp. It has plenty of pulling power and smooth performance reaching 62 mph in 8.6 sec.
Two more petrol engines also entered with 2015 facelift having 108 bhp and 128 bhp Euro 6. There are Citroen C4 reconditioned engines for sale if replacement is needed.
The steering wheel has been improved a lot when it comes to the updates. It is multifunctional with all the audio and cruise controls. The start-stop button is very helpful especially when you are going to do a night time journey.
However, the steering itself is not very impressive due to the lack of grip. This is because of the slippery material it is made of, but it can be improved by putting on another cover.
The 7.0-inch touch screen is easy to use but more helpful is the buttons under the screen which give an easy access to many functions as an alternative. The blind spot monitoring is very helpful to move around in traffic and it makes the task safer.
For me, Citroen is a stylish car with lots of cuts and a fashionable grille with lights not only on the upper side but fog lights on the lower end. And it is not the exterior that makes you look at it and admire the interior scores equally well.
You love your purchase when it stands out in styling among the lot parked next to it. It is not pretty only from the front, the rear shows same classic styling, you can recognize a Citroen C4 even looking at it from the back.
Those modish inclined lights at the rear situated on a round-edged body give an astonishing look enough to impress and turn the head of a passer-by.
