2021 Citroen C4 launched with petrol, diesel, and electric options

The new generation 2021 Citroen C4 has been launched globally, with an electric powertrain at the forefront of the car maker’s expansion plans – however its Australian plans are yet to be confirmed.


The fully-electric version, called the Citroen e-C4, uses a 50kWh battery powering a 100kW/260Nm electric motor, and has a claimed range of 350 kilometres on the new real-world (WLTP) test cycle.

According to Citroen, the e-C4 can be recharged to 80 per cent capacity within 30 minutes using a 100kW fast charger.

Petrol options come from a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine, offering outputs of 74kW, 96kW, and 114kW.

Two diesel options are also available from a 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder, producing 82kW and 96kW.

All engines are Euro 6 compliant, and a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission will be available.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available via the 10-inch infotainment screen, but heating and air conditioning controls are still accessed using traditional knobs and buttons. A high-definition camera is built into the rear-view camera and can take photos onto a memory card.

Passenger comfort – a feature of Citroen cars for decades – is provided with Advanced Comfort Seats and Progressive Hydraulic Cushion suspension.

As reported in June, the all-new C4 has grown to become a small SUV, taking the place of the DS4 – but Citroen insists it's still a hatch.

A spokesperson for Citroen Australia has told Drive that the new C4 is under consideration for local release, but would not speculate on which models.
