2021 Citroen C4 First Drive | Comfiest Car In Class???
Hello guys, and welcome back to Car Obsession. Last month I was invited by Citroen to drive the new C4, a car that offers bold looks and high levels of comfort. The new Citroen C4 is the first car in its class to offer petrol, diesel, AND electric versions (my video with the ë-C4 will be coming soon).
In this first drive video I'm sampling the C4 fitted with the Purtech 130 petrol engine, which is mated to a 6 speed manual gearbox. The trim level is the Shine, which is towards the top of the range, starting from £24,005.
Standard features include 18” alloys, LED headlights, 10” touchscreen, navigation, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, Citroen smart pad support, head up display, and keyless entry,
There’s also a good amount of safety kit including speed limiter, autonomous Emergency braking, lane keep assist, driver attention alert, high beam assist, blind spot monitoring, active safety brake and in the case of automatic models, adaptive cruise control.
The PureTech 130 engine is a 1.2 litre three cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which offers 130hp along with 230Nm of torque. 0-62 is dealt with in 8.9 seconds and the top speed is 130mph. This engine can offer up to 52.3mpg on a combined run and emits 122g/km of CO2 emissions. This means for the first year of VED you’ll be required to pay £175.00.

Hello all, thank you so much for dropping in on my video on the new Citroen C4 - my video with the e-C4 will be coming soon. Apologies for the editorial error around 1:12 - I had to put this video together in a rush another video upload had to be cancelled so it's the 'CO' logo flashing up wasn't meant to be there...

@MaximilianvonPinneberg 3 года назад

Loving the GS/GSA design touches in this new C4. It looks like Citroen are gradually going back to their roots.

@Muushondje 3 года назад

You made imho the best review of the new Citroën C4 on the tube. Well done chap. What a superb car it is, a real gamechanger. Vive la France. Vive La Citroën.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Wow, high praise indeed! Thanks for watching.

@vjexxx 3 года назад

This car should be all about comfort, quietness and calmness, and this review is good because the reviewer was talking about exactly those things. Nowhere did I hear words like “bodyroll”. Bravo!

@CarObsession 3 года назад

@@vjexxx Hi vjexxx, thanks for watching. Yes, I did briefly speak about the handling but it didn't make the edit as I thought it's not really a relevant area for this car. Mind you, there was one viewer who criticised me for not talking about the handling - you can't please everyone!

@Nerven86 Год назад

Got mine 6 months ago, really really happy with the car, got the diesel 1.5 and its really economic 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers. and really nice quality ride with really nice soundproofing, only thing i regret is i didn't get the automatic, the manual gear changes is really meh.

I'm driving it here in UK absolutely fantastic work done by Citreon. I mean C4 ..fully automatic gearbox. I love to drive it. 2021 model

It’s good Citroen are making some interesting cars . If you dare not to go mainstream ( usual German suspects) then they seem a good bet .

@richardstrauss7652 3 года назад

It looks great ! It probably won’t be available in Japan before 2021. Let’s hope I ll win in the lottery and be still alive! Great video as usual. I also enjoyed the “ Ami” video. My current C3 ( 2nd génération) is not soooo comfortable or not quiet , but it has enough punch to make driving fun.

@spursman3998 3 года назад

Very informative and helpful test drive. A very attractive package on offer from Citroen. I think this will be a big hit with all kinds of buyers. Great stuff, many thanks really enjoyed this review.

What a good review. How is the response of the multiscreen on the dashboard?

@EverythingCarsandMoreECAM 3 года назад

Like the car a lot. I am glad that you said the clutch is a bit springy because when I am learning to drive in a new Corsa that has this gearbox I get told off for taking my foot of the clutch too quickly but the clutch just pushes my leg out the way too quickly

@mariojager43 3 года назад

I retract my earlier statement, this car has grown on me, a bit like music and instant hit eventually becomes tiresome to listen to, whereas some songs grow on you the more you listen to them, I think this is what Citroen has served up with improved qualify and refinement.

@mainiotaainetta 3 года назад

Citroen are really doing themselves a favour. However, I can't imagine how on earth these cars will be found rusting on the side of a road, they're just so modern.

It's a great looking car and you know its comfortable. But I still like some excitement from a car.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Yes, it lacks in dynamism, but Citroen is not the exactly the first brand you think for a dynamic drive. Thanks for driving David.

@MrSunnyBhoy 3 года назад

Really good review and I like the design and colour. Also I don't think Citroen are the unreliable brand they used to be, psa group in general is pretty decent.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Thanks buddy!

@kdri155 3 года назад

I wouldn't say Citroën have been an unreliable brand based on my experiences, I've driven many as taxis owned by myself from the BX, Xantia 1 and 2, Xsara Picasso, C4 Grand Picasso and now a Spacetourer, but as I say I am a bit biased towards the brand.

@S-Ltd1000 3 года назад

I had a Peugeot 308 GT line with that engine. The cambelt runs inside the engine and in the oil and is known to disintegrate clogging the oil galleries and pickup strainer in the sump. Mine suffered two vvt solenoid failures which was my cue to trade it in on something Japanese with a chain driven engine. Many others have suffered loss of oil pressure resulting in engine failure. PSA have a recall in place for over half a million of them from 2013 to 2017. Belts have been upgraded about 4 or 5 times but the jury is still out on whether this will solve the problem. The next gen puretechs are being re-engineered with chain driven cams.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

That's interesting info, thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.

@rob12841 3 года назад

I have a 2019 c4 Picasso (Spacetourer) with this engine, hoping they ironed out the kinks 🙏

@henryhol8538 3 года назад

I have this engine in my daily driver and can confirm its brilliant! I even like its growl. Buyers need to realise that these small turbo 3 cylinder engines are replacing the 1.6 and 1.8 ltr cars in the past. Regarding headroom, I believe this will improve for you post Covid!🤣

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Haha, I'd still think headroom would be a bit tight even without my wild hair! Thanks for watching.

@rahmann936 3 года назад

Styling okay, the rear spoiler makes the back end look too fussy. And like you said what is the point of it? It doesn't need downforce. I would have ditched the spoiler in place of a rear wash wipe. It least it would be serving a purpose. 😃

@TheMammaAiuto 3 года назад

Hi, it is not for downforce, it is for drag. This car is super aerodynamic and this spoiler was requisite, for CO2 emissions on ICE versions and for range on EV versions. I'm the designer of this car so you can trust me :)

@phil8437 3 года назад

I like the look and comfort of this car and am going to replace my car soon (using my own hard earned.) However, I want a car that is going to be reliable long term along with a manufacturer that will give me good customer service. At the moment, along with other French manufacturers Citroen are not offering the aforementioned. The same comment goes to German manufacturers as well. I will stick to Toyota/Honda/Suzuki. A very good review as always thanks.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Hi Phil, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Lovely looking car but the wet timing belt is a no no a rubber belt in oil bits break off and block the oil pump or the belt snaps and your engine is scrap nice looking but bad engine

@ninjaninja9954 2 года назад

Hi I got a question would you take this car over the DS 7 crossback? I test drove both but not sure what to choose. But in terms of the ride comfort do you think it is much better than the DS 7? I remember the ride of the C4 was super smooth because i went over some humps and didn't feel anything but I didn't go over some humps on the DS 7 so my memory of it's smoothness is vague.

@CarObsession 2 года назад

They're very similar in regard to comfort, but the DS7 is a larger car.

@ninjaninja9954 2 года назад

@@CarObsession nice thx! I might just get the ds7 because of the luxury and because ds7 is an older car, it's not much more expensive than a newer c4.

@ninjaninja9954 2 года назад

@@CarObsession also i know most people will go for a german mercedes, bmw and audi for luxury but i am scared of the reliability of those cars...i am thinking citroen/ds are cheaper to maintain

Good review. Would really like to see you cover the electric version, esp the real range available, including using the eco mode.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Hi J, that video will be coming soon, but it won't be a full blown review as I only had the car for an hour or so, if that. Thanks for watching.

@jdavison8551 3 года назад

No problem. Your confirmation of the comfort of the driving experience and difference in driving in eco v normal will be very helpful.

@scottwalker4546 3 года назад

Found the test drive boring 😴. I would have like more of a report on how the car handles. You don't get that just being on a dual carriageway motorway🛣 C4 definitely on my list though.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

That's fair enough Scott. I did want to speak about the handling, but the test route provided by Citroen did have many dynamic cornering opportunities. Also, I wouldn't have thought too many viewers would be interested in handling as the car is built more for comfort, not cornering. A lot of the route was A roads or dual carriageways with a bit of town driving. Thanks for watching.

@mariojager43 3 года назад

Front is just not right, dam ugly, side view ok and rear acceptable. It may well be great in every other respect but you generally choose a car on looks, now , the new DS4 is a real looker.
