Inovev forecast 100,000 units per year of the new Citroën C4
- Citroën has unveiled its new C segment sedan which will replace the C4 and C4 Cactus from January 2021. The new model called C4 therefore mixes the style of these two cars, the sedan style and the SUV style, which gives it a very personal style. According to the carmaker, the choice of the body style corresponds to a crossover choice, making it possible to attract both sedan and compact SUV customers. The new C4 will be produced at the Villaverde site (Spain) as the C4 Cactus. This site is a former Barreiros site, which became Chrysler Spain in 1970 then Talbot in 1979 and finally a PSA site in 1987.
- The new C4 is based on the CMP platformused on the Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa of B-segment, and not on the EMP2 platform of the C-segment Peugeot 308 and Citroën C5 Aircross. This is why the C4 is available in petrol version, diesel version and 100% electric version, which allows the CMP platform. The C4 receives the 1.2 liter 3-cylinder petrol (99hp, 128hp and 153hp), the 1.5-liter 4-cylinder diesel (101hp) and the electric motor already fitted to the Peugeot e-208, e-2008 and Opel e-Corsa. The batteries capacity allows a range of 300 km according to the WLTP cycle.
- The e-C4 should cost 10,000 euros more than the C4 petrol, but with the government subsidy for plug-in cars, its price should be fairly close.
- Inovev forecasts a volume of 100,000 units per year for the new Citroën C4 produced in Villaverde. The C4 competes with the VW Golf, Ford Focus, Opel Astra, Renault Mégane, Peugeot 308, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Hyundai i30 and Kia XCeed.
