Citroen C4 L
The "Lounge" version of the Citroën C4 is positioned at the top end of
the C-segment. Launched in late 2012 in China and in 2013 in Russia, the
Citroën C4 L extends the C4 family and is fully consistent with the
"positive energy" spirit of the line-up through its prestigious and
contemporary styling, exceptional on-board well-being and creative
in-car technologies ensuring comfort, safety and performance.
Dynamic, prestigious styling
The Citroën C4 L three-box saloon immediately gives off an impression of
vitality with its well-balanced proportions (4.62 m x 1.78 m x 1.5 m)
and road-hugging stance. It also expresses elegance and modernity
through strong styling and classic Citroën design cues, including
sculptural lines, a large chrome-finished grille, front and rear light
signatures, and a convex rear window inspired by those on the Citroën C5
and C6.
The new model's top-end status is underscored by seamless panel joints,
alloy wheels and pure and well-defined chrome detailing, all of which
also serve to boost the personality of the Citroën C4 L, an elegant and
refined car worthy of superior segments and featuring impressive levels
of in-car equipment.
Prestigious driver's station
The impression of quality continues behind the wheel, with a high-end
driver's station and a lavishly equipped console. The dashboard includes
a modern instrument cluster with a sophisticated play of transparency
and light and settings that drivers can set to suit their tastes. The
Citroën C4 L is also extremely user-friendly and puts drivers and
passengers at ease immediately. Drivers can operate the driving and
comfort controls without taking their hands off the wheel.
New standards in quality
The Citroën C4 L is strong on perceived quality at all levels, from
styling and materials to technologies, such as laser welding. For
optimal reliability and long-lasting performance, Citroën will carry out
over four million kilometres of tests worldwide before launch.
First-class travel
In line with Brand values, the Citroën C4 L was designed with the
travelling comfort of passengers in mind. It brings occupants unrivalled
well-being in the segment, with generous rear leg room, thanks to the
longest wheelbase in the segment (at 2.71 m, some 10 cm more than the
new Citroën C4), and supremely comfortable rear seats featuring
wraparound bases, 29° tilting seat backs and, depending on the country,
"comfort" head rests for first-class travel in a lounge-like atmosphere.
The Citroën C4 L also boasts a capacious boot, at 440 litres VDA, and a
host of ingenious and roomy storage compartments, such as big door bins,
a sizeable glove box and a cubbyhole under the armrest.
Top-grade thermal and acoustic comfort
The Citroën C4 L also benefits from top-grade thermal comfort and a pure
cabin atmosphere thanks to an airquality management system, an air
conditioning unit with three air-flow settings and, depending on the
country, an air ioniser. Acoustic comfort is also strong, with optimised
soundproofing (sealed-out exterior noise and filtered road noise). The
aim is simple: total calm for all passengers.
Citroën road feel
Citroën fine tuned the suspension settings on the C4 L to give it
optimal comfort, strong roadholding and inimitable Citroën road feel.
Bumps and holes are soaked up masterfully for front and rear passengers
alike. The C4 L sets a new standard in its segment on this score.
As well as comfortable, the Citroën C4 L is easy to drive, with precise
steering, controlled body roll and sharp responses for dodging obstacles
and braking in emergencies. The new model immediately inspires the
confidence of driver and passengers.
Modern equipment
For the safety and well-being of all passengers, the Citroën C4 L is,
depending on the country, available with cutting-edge technologies such
as hands-free start-up, a fully heated windscreen, a reversing camera
for easier parking, an automatic windscreen wiper/headlamp system, Xenon
dual-function headlamps and a touch-screen GPS system.
The latest-generation GPS features a number of quality features,
including a 7-inch touch screen, a DVD player, mapping with real-view 3D
intersections, and, naturally, connectivity for portable devices (USB,
streaming, etc.) plus a Bluetooth hands-free kit.
New range of petrol engines
The Citroën C4 L ships with a broad range of market-adapted petrol engines:
the THP engine, designed with the BMW group, with high-pressure
direct sequential injection and a Twin Scroll turbocharger, developing
150 bhp to 170 bhp (depending on country) and generating torque of 240
Nm from 1,400 rpm. Mated to a 6-speed automatic and sequential gearbox,
this engine guarantees an excellent at-the-wheel experience.
the new VTi 135 unit (1.8 16V with 136 bhp), equipped with a 5-speed
manual or 6-speed auto/sequential gearbox. This new "core range"
powerplant, launched with the Citroën C4 L, is available in China.
An international car
The Citroën C4 L is a 100% international car through:
its "project team". The C4 L was styled in China by a multi-cultural
team, designed in Europe, developed by project teams based in Russia
and China, and tested around the world in severe driving conditions.
Citroën rolled out a fully international project to better meet the
needs of each customer base;
its production sites. The Citroën C4 L will be produced as close as
possible to its markets, initially at Wuhan in China and at Kaluga in
Russia;
its product definition. By producing the C4 L locally, Citroën can
adapt to the specific needs of each market in terms of interior design
scheme, body colour and available features (engines, equipment,
suspension settings).
