Positive Power = Efficiency

10L58.jpge-HDi technology.

The e-HDi micro-hybrid technology combines an HDi engine with a new generation Stop&Start system and a system to recover brake energy during deceleration. In this way, the new Citroën C4 HDi helps limit your fuel consumption, with consumption reduced by about 15% in city driving. This advanced technology is easy to use. Whenever you stop, the engine just simply cuts out. As soon as you release the brake pedal, the new Citroën C4's engine starts up instantly and automatically, without any further action by the driver and without 10L60WEB.jpginterfering with your driving style.

Efficient engines.

 The new Citroën C4 is available with a highly efficient HDi direct injection at 110hp. This common rail engine benefits from 15 years' experience in engineering state-of-the-art efficient technology. Thanks to high precision direct injection, it allows for CO2 emissions of 114g/km. Two petrol engines, the VTI 120 and THP 155 are available. They both benefit from variable valve lift and timing, which guarantees outstanding efficiency and allows for immediate response even on lower gear ratios. 

Emissions 10L61.jpgand fuel consumptions for the new Citroën C4 engines are among the best in the segment with 143 for the VTi 120 and 148 for the THP 155 EGS.

Green materials.

Citroën strive to minimise the new Citroën C4 productions environmental footprint. Conscious that most components that make up a car like steel, glass or fluids are already widely recyclable and recycled, Citroën has insured that an increasing share of plastics comes from sustainable sources.

The result is 15% of New Citroën C4's 200kg of polyamide components is made using 'green' materials - recycled plastics, 10L56.jpgnatural materials (plant fibers, wood), and bio-materials polyamide stemming from non-fossil renewable sources. Thirty parts of the car, amongst which the rear bumper, door panels, carpets and wheel arches - are made using green materials. The new Citroën C4 is produced at Citroën's Mulhouse factory. The factory, situated at the crossroads between France, Germany and Switzerland boasts excellent environmental credentials thanks to years of effort.

In 30 years, it has divided its water consumption per vehicle by a factor of 14 and currently reuses 99.5% of the waste material it generates. With the new Citroën C4, Citroën have created a vehicle that is 85% 10L62_high res_blau.jpgrecyclable and contains many green material parts  - this positively contributes to sustainable manufacturing and to the bolstering of a stronger recycling industry.  

Lightweight engineering.

All new Citroën C4's exemplify the art of achieving unparalleled levels of quality and safety. No effort or industrial investments have been spared to optimise the weight and quality.

 The innovative roofs laser welding has allowed a saving of 2kg; a thinner rear hatch window cuts weight by 1kg. Even the steering wheel and 10PUB40.jpgalloy wheels have been optimised to save a total of 4.5kg versus the previous generation of C4. This demanding engineering philosophy allows the new Citroën C4 to be slightly roomier than the previous generation C4 yet lighter and better equipped.
