Citroen introduces new C4 diesel

Previously the C4 relied on a 1.6-litre diesel to motivate it, but the new C4 uses the same drivetrain as seen in the C4 Picasso, meaning a 100kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel, mated to an Aisin six-speed auto. The torque can be further lifted by 20Nm through a unique overboost function on full acceleration.

The C4 HDi 2.0 automatic. runs from 0-100km/h in 10.4 seconds - respectable enough - but still gives you a fuel consumption average of just 5.1-litres/100km.

On top of the standard features of the C4 HDi, the 2.0-litre receives:

· Alloy wheels
· Body coloured door handles and mirrors
· Rear lip wing
· Leather Steering Wheel
· 5 stack CD changer in the front armrest
· Automatic light sensing interior rearview mirror
· Velour upholstery
· Dual Zone Climate Control Air Conditioning
· Rear seat centre armrest with hidden locker
· Automatic headlights
· Door sill and footwell lights
· Chrome interior trim features

Leather is an option, as well as parking sensors, electric seats, and seat heaters.

The new Citroën C4 HDi 2.0 six speed automatic has a recommended retail price of $35,990, plus on road costs.
