and performance.

UNRIVALLED TRAVELLING COMFORT
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.
HIGH-LEVEL TECHNOLOGY
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.

ELEGANT SEDAN
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.

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).
