Inovev forecasts 50,000 units per year of the new Citroen C4 X
- Citroen (one of the fourteen brands of the Stellantis group) has unveiled the new C4 X (code C43) which succeeds the C-Elysee. Indeed, while the C4 is a C-segment hatchback, the C4 X is a C-segment sedan like the Citroen C-Elysée. This type of body is particularly popular in Southern (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece) and Eastern (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania) European countries. It is also appreciated in South American and Chinese markets which could welcome this model next year. As it stands, the Citroen C4 X could compete with the Renault Arkana in the same category.
- In terms of dimensions, the Citroen C4 X is positioned in the carmakers’ range between the C4 (4.36 m) and the C5 X (4.81 m). Also in price, the C4 X will be between the C4 and the C5 X while the C-Elysée was cheaper than the C4. Like many other manufacturers, Citroen is taking advantage of the launch of a new model to substantially increase its prices.
- The C4 X is based on the same CMP platform as the C4, and like the C4, it will be available in a thermal version (1.2 petrol, 1.5 diesel) and in a battery electric version which has a range of 350 kilometers.
- The C4 X will be produced in the Spanish plant of Villaverde, alongside the C4, at the rate of 50,000 units per year according to Inovev. In China, the C4 X could be produced at 25,000 units per year at the Wuhan site. It would thus succeed C-Elysée and Fukang. Citroen on its side, is aiming for a production of 120,000 cars produced per year in Villaverde, including 80,000 C4 and 40,000 C4 X.
