More than 100,000 new Citroën C4 vehicles have
rolled of the assembly line since the model was
launched one year ago. Following on from this
commercial success, the Marque is now extending
its C4 range with an original model: the Citroën
C4 Aircross. This new vehicle reviews the
conventional cues of compact SUV design. By
combining style and technological innovation in
a single car, the Citroën C4 Aircross is ideally
suited to modern lifestyles that introduce a
sense of escape into everyday activities. This
new body style draws upon the Marque’s
technological excellence, combining the grip of
an off-roader with the ride and driveability of
a saloon. Available in 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive
versions, depending on the engine, the Citroën
C4 Aircross will be launched in the first half
of 2012 and will be one of the front-runners in
its segment in terms of CO2 emissions.
The styling of the Citroën C4 Aircross draws
upon the Marque’s DNA, combining the vitality of
the other models in the range with the powerful
styling of an off-roader.
The distinctive styling includes a front end of
horizontal lines with aerodynamic vents at the
extremities, accentuating the vehicle's compact
appearance. The contours of the bonnet, which is
visible from the driver's seat, the wide wheel
arches and the reduced overhang all enhance the
impression of robustness produced by this unique
silhouette.
Close attention went into every detail and each
part is designed to combine style and
performance. The Citroën C4 Aircross' light
signature, visible by day and at night, is
formed by the LEDs at the front, which are
vertically aligned in the aerodynamic vents. The
shape of the large 18-inch wheels and the rear
lights, directly inspired by the Hypnos
concept car, has been reworked for optimal air
flow and reduced CO2 emissions.
