The next generation Citroen C4 has been spied winter testing in Scandinavia (Europe has certainly provided for sub-zero tests this winter). The new C4 is still under heavy camouflage, meaning we don’t get much of an idea at all about its new style.
The Citroen C4 should be presented at the 2010 Paris motor show in autumn this year, while its commercial debut will arrive in 2011. That makes seven years after the C4 first came on the scene. The big news is that the next C4 could see the debut of a diesel-hybrid engine set-up, which will appear on the Peugeot 3008 and Citroen DS5 in the course of 2011 in the form of the Hybrid4.
The PSA engine places the fuel based engine at the front of the vehicle and the electric motor at the rear. The two work independently so that over a short course the car can be used in just an electric mode if desired. The C4 should also appear with the current 1.6-litre THP engine, although no further technical data is available yet.
