LONDON: Citroën continues its electrification offensive in 2020, turning its attention from today to the compact hatchback segment – publishing the very first images of the new ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric and new C4.
Following on from its successful SUV offensive with the launch of C3 Aircross SUV and C5 Aircross SUV – 300,000 and 200,000 sales respectively – Citroën is ready for the next stage in the rollout of its product strategy, focusing firmly on the hatchback market.
Compact hatchbacks remain an important part of the European car market, accounting for nearly 28% of C-segment sales in 2019. The new ë-C4 and new C4 tick all the boxes in this competitive segment, while offering a modern and characterful new design concept as an integral part of the product offering.
Citroën’s new-generation compact hatchback is inspired by its customers and the way they experience their cars. The 100% electric ë-C4 and C4 have all the qualities needed to shake up a segment that is having to reinvent itself.
For Citroën, that means offering an all-new silhouette with a choice of 100% electric, petrol or diesel power.
The ë-C4 and C4 also represent a new design concept at the heart of the C-Hatch segment, with a unique and bold identity. The elevated and assertive stance means the body shape has all the elegance and dynamism of a hatchback, while subtly adopting certain SUV traits for added strength and character.
Aerodynamic and flowing, the exterior design echoes Citroën’s well-known aesthetics, while bringing a new expression of style to the range. Its warm and high-tech interior instantly expresses well-being, comfort and modernity.
