The Citroen C4 is a French compact car that was first introduced to the public in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show. Its series production began in the same year and continued until 2017. It took place in several cities around the world, for example, in Mulhouse, France, or Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The C4 was designed and launched to replace the Citroen Xsara. Its chief designer was Donato Coco. Compared to its predecessor, it is quite clearly distinguished by its body style and very clearly by its equipment and interior design. It also offers a narrower range of petrol and diesel engines compared to the Xsara, which, however, are more modern and economical. The new model also improves the overall reliability of the design and pays great attention to safety issues, which led to its maximum rating in the Euro NCAP tests. The Citroen C4 was offered in three body styles: a 3- and 5-door hatchback and a 4-door sedan. During production, two generations of the car and the C4 Picasso model appeared, offering a more spacious interior and slightly different equipment and power units. The Citroen C4 WRC version also participated in numerous motor races. The C4 model was replaced in the company's offer by the Citroen C4 Cactus and DS4.
