The first spy shots of the upcoming second generation Citroen C4 has been revealed.
The spy shots doesn’t tell us Not much, because the camouflage is still pretty distracting and quite effective at disguising any changes to the design. However, we do get that the new Citroen C4, will be lighter and more efficient than the current model, the company’s product boss Mr Vincent Besson has told media recently. It will be produced in three-and five-door body and will be completed with the new 3-cylinder engines and, possibly, hybrid setup consisting of gasoline and electric motors.
According to Mr Besson, petrol-electric power is not necessary or economically viable in small city cars, and only for high-end versions of the next C4. However, he expects that “a large part of a future C5 range” will have hybrid power.
The C4 will be coming with a DS4 sibling too, just as the C3 has its more flashy counterpart in the DS3. Citroen will be using the DS designation for more lively, design-happy iterations of its model lineup. Citroen's strategy is to take the entire brand upmarket and set it up as an alternative consumer choice to the more established premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
The new Citroen C4 is scheduled to make its public debut at the Paris auto show in September of next year.
