The future Citroën C4 sedan will be produced at Villaverde
- The current Citroën C4 sedan dates from 2010 and should not be replaced until 2021, which is extremely long for a car. Indeed, the average cycle of a European car today is six or seven years. The reason for this very long life of the C4 is that over the past two years the PSA product development plan has focused on :
1. The widening of the group's SUV range (Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 5008, Citroën C3 Aircross, Citroën C5 Aircross, DS 7 Crossback), a growing category on the world market, in particular in Europe and China.
2. The reconstruction and enlargement of the DS brand (DS Crossback, the new DS 3 and DS 3 Crossback, DS 4 and DS 4 Crossback, new DS 6).
3. The replacement of the Citroën C3, crucial to PSA in terms of volumes (150,000 to 200,000 units per year).
- The replacement of the Citroën C4 sedan had to be postponed several times, in particular because the PSA group is also redefining the positioning of the Citroën brand within the group. The future C4 will replace both the current C4 and C4 Cactus and will be manufactured from 2021 to 2029 on the Spanish site of Villaverde where the current C4 Cactus is produced. The site of Mulhouse where the current C4 is manufactured should gradually become a site dedicated to the manufacture of the sedans of upper D and E segments (508, C5, DS).
