Following on from yesterday's release of the first photos of Citroën's new C4 compact hatchback, we just got our hands on a short static film as well as details on the engine range that will be available at launch.
When it goes on sale across Europe after its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show, the French firm's Golf-rival will be offered with a total of three petrol (plus one LPG capable) and three diesel engines.
The gasoline range includes a 95HP 1.4-liter unit coupled to a five-speed manual, a 120HP 1.6-liter available with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, an LPG capable version of the 1.6L unit, and finally a 1.6-liter turbo with 155HP that's hooked up to a 6-speed semi-automatic gearbox.
Diesel fans can choose between a 1.6-liter HDi producing 90HP or 105HP (both linked to a manual gearbox), and a 2.0L HDi with 150HP coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission.
Furthermore, the two 1.6-liter HDi units are available in e-HDi versions that come with a semi-automatic 6-speed transmission and Citroën's new pseudo micro-hybrid system that features the latest generation Stop & Start system.
Output remains the same on the two e-HDi variants but fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are improved over the standard HDi models. To read our previous stor4y on the new Citroën C4, click here.

lol, like Seat Ibiza.
I like it.
Very Cool!
wow....impressive
it looks great!and i love the interior...
Ok what is customizable? Only the gauges and the pointers (maybe) or you can customize the panel with the NAV system too?
I think I like more the old C4 more than this one...
Very plain, it's a good design, it's just not as in-your-face as the previous C4, specially compared to the Xsara.
Let's hope the 3-door version is more exciting!
Well at least Citroen has gotten over the stupid center(re) of the dashboard(fascia) instrument cluster(binacle) thing.
Other than that, unlike the new Picasso, Citroen is unfortunately trying really hard to be really normal with this new C4, contrary to its old avant garde image. By the way, was there ever any car as amazingly innovative as the original DS21?
it looks good .., a bit conservative.., I like the interior too!!
Mitsubishi needs to import this and slap their badge on it ASAP.
@ Frederick: I don't see that happening any time soon, for the same reason that Peugeot doesn't badge engineer Citroens and visa versa ... with the exception of the C1/107 which is understandable...I don't think the relationship with Mitsubishi allows for such a thing...besides ...Mitsubishi has a hatchback in the form of the Lancer ....and I certainly doubt that we will ever see a Mitsubishi based successor to the current 4007/C-crosser ...unless it's platform sharing...
Very nice. Beautiful interior and dash layout. Pity they're not sold in the States
Never been a fan, Citroens remind me of Volvo, say no more. Its like there wanna be cool and popular, but for some reason, they just aren't!
Kid Voltron... I wasn't serious, sheesh. Get off your soapbox.
