Citroen C4 Assessment 2025, Worth & Specs

Share


Citroën’s comfort-led positioning of this automobile makes for a medium-high driving place, one thing that sits – just like the automobile itself – between hatch and SUV. For some, that may make it too low, for others too excessive.

For the facelift, Citroën has fitted new ‘Advance Consolation’ seats within the C4, that are visually bulging with padding – 15% greater than the marginally flat however broad seats they change. Leclercq says they’re supposed to indicate consolation in addition to offering it.

We’ll describe how they really feel on the transfer shortly, however the first impressions are that they really feel largely just like the seats they change. Sure, they positively provide extra lateral assist and luxury than earlier than and, say, the equally priced and positioned Kia Stonic or Skoda Kamiq. However the further padding generally is a tad laborious within the higher again space – and it isn’t adjustable – and there’s a lack of under-thigh assist. The seat itself is adjusted manually, which signifies that discovering the best seating place is more durable than it’d in any other case be, however then that is one space that enables Citroën to maintain costs down. The seats usually are not heated at any trim stage.

Obtainable area across the driver is about common. Citroën claims class-leading rear knee room, however we suspect this should be certified by the entrance seats being slid all the best way forwards as a result of, with the driving force’s seat set for a typical grownup, second-row lodging ranges are solely common, as is rear head room.

Boot area under the parcel shelf is 380 litres, one other fairly common displaying. That is, in fact, a fairly compact automobile for the European C-segment, nevertheless it’s unlikely to be one you’ll be drawn to for its practicality.

The instrument and infotainment structure is unconventional, nevertheless it doesn’t lack readability and it isn’t made laborious to work together with. Forward of the driving force is a now up to date 7in digital instrument display that gives a quite simple digital speedometer however little else at a lot scale. In 2025, the display additionally feels previous and outdated in contrast with rivals.

Our check automobile’s head-up show, projected on a separate clear pop-up display (which was fairly massive) quite than the windscreen, provides some helpful further data, however choices to configure each shows are restricted. The flexibility to vary the place of the head-up show utilizing easy-to-reach controls subsequent to the driving force was a pleasant contact.

The cabin is centred across the similar 10in infotainment system – now with up to date software program as a part of the facelift – above two bodily controls for Residence and Automobile and a quantity knob to assist usability. There are additionally tactile and materially interesting bodily controls for heating and air flow.

The infotainment itself, whereas working up to date Stellantis software program, is a tad sluggish and faffy to make use of. Whereas it presents some massive icons at floor stage, a deeper delve into the system requires extra tuned touches, which suggests extra time wanting on the display whereas driving. It does provide wi-fi smartphone mirroring, plus wi-fi, USB-A and USB-C charging capabilities.

The manufacturing facility navigation mapping is straightforward however clear, its instructions are straightforward to observe and you’ll set locations in spoken instructions on the first time of asking.

The usual of fabric match and end is a bit combined and the cabin isn’t free from more durable, rougher mouldings in easy-to-reach locations. Our top-rung check automobile’s cabin supplied a nice aesthetic on the floor, with its plush-looking seats, however in actuality it was fairly a uninteresting affair, with all the pieces forward of the entrance occupants being black or darkish gray. The in depth use of gloss black plastic, as is the case throughout the Stellantis vary – particularly Peugeots – highlights fingerprints and makes a clear cabin look soiled in a short time and simply
