Sleek lines and great aerodynamics

The shape of the C4 coupe has a very strong sense of structure: its height is just right, making it aerodynamic , road performance and fuel consumption are optimized. Sleek lines and dynamism are the first quality impressions of the C4 coupe.

However, the real distinguishing feature of the C4 coupe is its unique and wonderful styling.

These features are particularly evident at the front of the vehicle: the rich chrome double emblem extends to the sides and merges with the cooling grille. The headlights in the shape of a "flyer" are raised upwards and reach the front fenders, which are crystal clear and piercing.

In terms of styling, the flag-shaped mirrors located on the front doors are also worth commenting, which makes the C4 coupe's lines more lively.

The C4 coupe's slender body, long wheelbase and front overhangs, and short rear overhangs give it a sleek, dynamic appearance.

This look reflects the relentless pursuit of optimal aerodynamic performance. The lines that extend gracefully to the rear are dynamic and smooth, the waist line is slightly curved at the rear, and the outwardly convex curve of the fenders gives a strong sense of stability and grip.

The C4 coupe has a slender profile, and the contra-angled rear window creates a spacious interior. These styling features combine sportiness and ride comfort to amaze me.

The perfect combination of low wind resistance and large space

The body design of the C4 coupe takes strict aerodynamic requirements into account, while at the same time, it can ensure its front and rear driving space It is the most spacious in its class.

For the C4 coupe, Citroën has done a lot of aerodynamic work, achieving an excellent coefficient of drag (Cd). The factor can be as low as 0.30, a record low for a model in this class. Good aerodynamics greatly improve comfort in wind noise, and reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.

Achieving such a low coefficient of drag is mainly due to the sleek body shape, which features: ?

Proper height (1.46 m), ?

Forward windshield, and hood One-piece, ?

The roof is long and abruptly angled downwards, ?

The sidewalls taper towards the rear.

Exterior equipment also participates in improving air flow: ?

Flag-shaped reflectors, ?

Air deflectors added to the lower body to enhance the vehicle's aerodynamics, ?

Rear wing extensions ?

The bumper that surrounds the wheels can better guide the airflow, ?

The front wiper is built into the lower part of the windshield of the front cowl, thus avoiding the turbulence of the air.

The C4 coupe combines styling, aerodynamics and interior space with the most spacious interior in its class.

Despite its sporty styling, it still has the interior space of a family 5-door sedan, so 5 adults won't feel cramped in the car.

With a wheelbase of 2.61 meters and a height of 1.46 meters, the C4 coupe is one of the most spacious compact hatchbacks on the market.

The interior space fully meets the user's requirements for ride comfort. Legroom for rear passengers is a benchmark for the C4 coupe in its class (with the front seats fully retracted, there is still 17 cm of room).

And its front elbow width (1,44 meters) and rear elbow width (1,43 meters) are also in the middle level in the same class.

Performing engine

The 1.6-liter 16V engine produces 80 kW (110 hp) at 5,800 rpm and a maximum torque of 147 Nm at 4,000 rpm. This engine delivers strong power at low revs, with a torque of 132 Nm (90% of maximum torque) at 2,000 rpm.

This engine provides the ideal power/fuel balance for mixed driving on urban and country roads.

There are also some dedicated storage spaces, such as a bag hook on the passenger side of the center console, and a glasses case.

Some storage boxes are designed to be closed, which makes the interior of the cockpit look more compact. For example, the front adjustable center armrest has storage compartments for CDs or CD players. The center console is also equipped with a 12V socket and cigarette lighter.
