Citroen C4

The Citroen C4 is no longer on sale as a new car in Australia, but it remains one of the brand's more distinctive modern local offerings. It blurred the line between hatchback, fastback and small SUV, using a raised stance and coupe-like roofline to stand apart from conventional small cars. The C4 focused heavily on ride comfort, seat softness and relaxed everyday driving, which made it feel very different from sharper European rivals. It was offered locally with a small turbocharged petrol engine and front-wheel drive, prioritising refinement and efficiency over performance. For buyers considering an existing example, its appeal is comfort, design and rarity in equal measure.
