Citroen C4 AirCross: French SUV here this month

CITROEN C4

The Citroen C4 AirCross SUV will become the French marque’s first four-wheel-drive sold in Australia when it launches at the end of this month.

Sharing its platform and powertrain with the Mitsubishi ASX and co-developed alongside the Peugeot 4008, the C4 AirCross joins the Citroen C4, Citroen C4 Picasso and Citroen DS4 in Citroen’s small-car-based line-up.

The C4 AirCross will be powered exclusively by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 110kW of power and 197Nm of torque to both front- and four-wheel-drive variants via a manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Four-wheel-drive variants will feature a ‘shift on the fly’ system allowing users to switch between two-wheel-drive, four-wheel drive and ’4WD Lock’ as required from the driver’s seat.

The AirCross’ styling follows in line with current family DNA, showcasing stylised headlights, chrome grille with in-built badge, vertical LED driving lights in the front bumper, floating D-pillar and appropriately Citroen-designed wheels.

While based on the $25,990 ASX, prices for the C4 AirCross should mirror the mechanically identical, and equally French, 4008, which is priced from $28,990.

CarAdvice will bring you more details when final specifications are released.

    Ewwwww, an ASX in disguise! I hope there is no fusebox in the glovebox this time.

    • Smart US

       id wonder who would by this over ASX while knowing its a same car – more expensive with less warranty?

      • Typeinmynamehere

        the same people who buy the 4007 over the outlander

        • Force-15

           I thought people who bought the 4007 wanted an Outlander with a diesel engine (and, in my opinion, don’t value good aesthetics).

      What were they thinking with the Rear lights? it’s like Vampire Thangs!

  • Rightindicators

    Looking forward to the review to see how this French masterpiece is performs over in the bush and tarmac.

    • Douglas9305

      Let me guess – ‘As well as the ASX but at higher cost!’…

  • Phunken

    Its a Citroen with good built quality cos its coming from the same Mitsu factory…
    Love the floating D pillar. Not sure about the interior design consider it look early 00s.
    I can see this as a good solution to driveway snobbery. ASX is to cheap looking so this is a better solution.

  • Nmrenwick

    Gorgeous. Better looking that the ASX and the Peugeot. 

  • Mick Dunn

    It’s a great looker!  Although I agree with the comment above so says the interior is out of date.  Hopefully this isn’t the range topper (although you’d assume the marketing stuff would show that).

    I’d take one over an ASX if you could get the price down on par.

  • Blair Waldorf

    The interior is nicer than it’s Peugeot and Mitsubishi sisters, as is that D Pillar. The Citroens D Pillar and interior with the Peugeots front/rear styling plus the Mitsubishis diesel and manual gearbox = win!

  • 42 = The Answer

    The interior looks like a slightly more upmarket version of what’s in the ASX! This is what Mitsubishi should be offering in the ASX as standard and Citroen should be offering something completely different.

  • Tell It As It Is

    French chic with Japanese reliability and price. Viola :)

  • Silver Streak

    It looks fantastic!

  • Danielsydney

    I like the look of it and will wait to see pricing before I purchase.
