Here is the new Citroen C4 - so we'll see a car fall on his official debut at the Paris Motor Show.
Changes sitroenovskogo style transformed C4: he became more solid and elegant, but personality diminished. Instead of steering with a fixed "hub" - a traditional bagel, instead of the front panel with a central location device - a massive "cockpit" around the driver, detailed to the left and center console devices like the Citroen C5 (the driver can choose the color of their lights).
In pursuit of new competitors C4 was obliged to become more practical and richer - it has grown to 50 mm in length (up to 4329 mm) to 20 mm in width and 30 mm in height. Trunk volume has increased to 408 liters - more than the Golf (350 hp) and the current Focus (395 hp). Curb weight rose slightly - new C4 depending on the version weighs from 1200 to 1395 kg.
Chassis old, as well as wheelbase 2608 mm. Engine lineup too familiar - a Franco-Bavarian gasoline Quartet 1.4 (95 hp), 1.6 (120 bhp) and turbo 1.6 THP (156 hp) and diesel 1.6 HDi (90 and 110 hp) and 2.0 HDi (150 bhp). And provided and microhybrid "version of e-HDi - with" start-stop ". Among the available transmissions - a five-and six-speed manual gearbox, six-step "robot" and a four-step "automatic". It is curious that the selector robotic transmissions from the new C4 has turned into a miniature joystick on the edge of the central tunnel. For an extra charge - automatic parking brake, an assistant start uphill, tracking systems for marking lines or blind zones when you rebuild, "home" socket for 230 in the central tunnel, and even armchairs with built-in massager for the front riders.
Things Citroen go uphill - last year in the world was sold 1.346 million vehicles, while in France "crisis" was a record year for the past 40 years (sold more than 400,000 cars), while in Germany sales for the first time exceeded one hundred thousandth abroad. The key to success - model C5 and the C3 Picasso, for which demand has exceeded expectations (86 thousand and 83 thousand vehicles, respectively). "The Shot" should, C4, because the present generation in Europe has long been a middle peasant.
In European dealers new Citroen C4 will be available by year's end, but in Russia at this time ... just will establish a "screwdriver" assembly pyatidverok present generation! So it is possible that the new "quartet" with us or for a long time will not be at all, or it will coexist with the old car assembly in Kaluga. According to our data, the new C4 can be put on production at Russian plant PSA-Mitsubishi simultaneously with the launch of welding and paint finishes in 2012, and most likely these are four-door body.
