The Citroen C4 has been given a subtle but effective update that brings it in swinging at the best in the family hatch class. Andy Enright reports.
The Citroen C4 works smarter rather than harder this time round, with a styling refresh, some super-economical engines slotted into the range and an interior that nudges its way quite markedly upmarket. If you’re not afraid of thinking outside the box a little, this is a car that earns an easy recommendation.
The C4’s silhouette hasn’t changed at all with this update but some of the details certainly have. The most obvious changes are the headlight units that now comprise two 3D chrome-finish modules on a gloss black background with LEDs adding a distinct light signature.
Citroen has introduced some innovative three-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engines that wear a PureTech badge. And there are also a trio of BlueHDi diesels that are well worth considering, with 100, 120 or 150PS.
