Reviews about Citroen c4:

Appearance:

  • In a continuous flow, the car immediately attracts attention with its unique French charm! Very stylish and modern exterior, correct proportions. Respect and respect for designers.
  • I really liked external design. Of course, in its class, the C4 is the standard of a beautiful car.

In the cabin:

  • The first time sat in the car and was stunned! Interior trim prices are clearly underestimated. Soft to the touch and plastic in appearance, the rest of the finish is like a Mercedes class car!
  • Beautiful interior, high quality finishing materials. In appearance, the plastic is soft, touched - really soft.
  • With my height of 1.85 m, it is comfortable to sit even in the back seat.
  • The functionality of separate climate control at the highest level, adjusted 20 and no longer touch.
  • Excellent Mouzon, especially cool that you do not need to adjust. The list contains all stations of a particular region. You open the list, specify the region, the radio itself is updated automatically - all that remains is to enjoy.
  • The cabin is completely silent, no crickets, no extra noise.
  • I liked the sporty shape of the front seats with reliable and effective lateral support.
  • A couple of weeks later, nasty crickets started up.
  • There is not much space in the cabin. Especially from behind. It will be uncomfortable for a passenger under 180 cm to sit.
Trunk:
  • An excellent trunk - a volume of more than 400 liters, good finishes, many hooks for securing cargo, a 12-volt socket, a portable flashlight on batteries is used for illumination, you can remove it and use it on the street. There is a basement with tools and a spare wheel. Class!!!

Controllability:

  • Excellent road holding. Rides like glued, a small rut with rainwater is not noticeable at all.
  • The car is driving on rough roads. We have to catch a little more than 100 km / h. Underworked. For our roads, the car was raised, but they forgot to change the European amma.

Smooth running:

  • Very smooth move. The car does not go, but it seems to fly like an amphibian on an air cushion!
  • Who said that Opel Astra very stiff suspension Yes, you just haven’t tried to ride a Citroen C4 yet! It's no longer just tough. This is a cruel gesture!!! Beam rear suspension, ... although what kind of beam is there ... it’s not there at all !!! Probably, on a cart without springs and shock absorbers, the ride is softer.

Agility:

  • Accelerates very well, despite a decent weight of 1.3 tons.
  • Absolutely no great features in the dynamics of the Citroen were found. I press the gas pedal, and in response, the question is "what do you need." Only then begins to slowly drive in and accelerate. Flaw!

Transmission:

  • (Automatic transmission): The new automation is especially cool in sport mode, smooth switching, no jerks, the engine slows down as if on the mechanics. Super!
  • (Automatic transmission): I did not like the automatic. Tupit and thinks for a long time, regardless of the intensity of the ride. Probably because of the quick adaptation to the driving style. Switching is accompanied by jerks.
  • (manual transmission): Manual transmission deserves a separate discussion. I just don't know how to choose gear ratios! Krazovskaya first gear is impossibly short, only for pulling away. The second is not better, but the third was stretched out to chaos. True, when I'm in a hurry - it helps out, since 3rd gear works in the range of 30 - 90 km without problems. You can't switch. At 4 and 5, I did not notice any differences, they differ by 700 - 800 rpm and that's it.

Brakes:

  • It should be especially noted that ABS is the best in this class.
  • Excellent brake system, the brake is crisp and smooth. If necessary, you can brake sharply, but in rain and snow it slows down without the slightest slip.

Noise isolation:

  • Shumka at a decent level, the engine breaks through only at 4500 rpm.
  • As for this class — the insulation is just great.
  • The roof is not soundproofed at all. In heavy rain, a drum roll in my head.

Reliability:

  • After a year of operation in a car without breakdowns, nothing fell off. In general, all class.

Patency:

  • Decent clearance, it seems about 200 mm.
  • The main criterion for choosing this car was an excellent ground clearance - 175 millimeters.

Operating cost:

  • Citroen is working off its value.
  • Consumption is a song. The 92nd takes about 6 on the highway, if passengers or cargo can eat a little more - 6.2 liters. I specifically measured the city - 8.2 liters per hundred. And with the included climate / air conditioning.

Other details:

  • I note that visibility is excellent.
  • The work of the janitors pleases. Not just effective, but even perfect glass cleaning!
  • At night you drive like a clear day, the low and high beams are more than enough. Bright, even light straight ahead.
  • Plump, very comfortable steering wheel. Somewhat reminiscent of the steering wheel of a sports car with a cutout at the bottom, a tall driver is perfect.
  • It’s not a pity to give 11,000 rubles for a standard signaling. Functionality at a decent level - you can fold the mirrors, you can lower the windows. In a word, great!
  • I was pleased with the information content on-board computer- all the necessary information is displayed on the display and can be easily read without looking closely.
  • The highest level of ergonomics, all the levers in their place, everything is clear and convenient.

For four years now, I have owned a Citroen C 4 sedan. Enough information has accumulated, which I want to talk about.

In 2013, a salon "" was opened in Tomsk. The location of the salon turned out to be successful - not far from my work. Of course, such an event was not to be missed. And here I am in the salon. Yes, not alone, but with his wife. I liked everything in the cabin - a spacious room, painted in the colors of Citroen (red and white).

Appearance

Citroen brand cars are distinguished by their attractiveness. Still, beautiful cars, what can I say! One is worth it! Like in the cockpit. Very beautiful car! But dear, like a real plane! Therefore, we looked at something simpler and cheaper. Even on the street, they noticed a beautiful brown car with a golden sheen, standing near the salon for a test drive. In the salon got acquainted with this brand in more detail. This car turned out to be. I had not seen them before. We have a Citroen on the road in Tomsk - still a rarity. Although now it has become more than four years ago. I looked at the car, sat behind the wheel - everything is very worthy for this level of car! I signed up for a test drive, though for a Citroen C 4 hatchback. (the sedan has already been sold). I liked the test of the car in motion, but I expected better. Nevertheless, we decided to buy a sedan and it was brown with gilding (my wife really liked the color).

Equipment

Everything else is as usual - we decided on the equipment, the engine, made an advance payment and we are waiting. The package was chosen 1.6 Vti Exclusive Plus AT, which means the engine has a volume of 1.6, an automatic 4-speed gearbox, a decent set of options (navigator, bluetooth, heating windshield, system exchange rate stability and ABC, rear parking sensors, cruise control, etc.).

In June 2013 we become the owners of our Citroen. Before this model, we had, so there was something to compare with.

The first thing I immediately felt was the dynamics when starting off. By pressing the gas pedal, you immediately feel all 123 horsepower, and then the car starts to think, especially when switching from second to third gear. It turns out that such "thoughtfulness" is inherent in many cars with electronic control throttle valve. Some owners install additional device- a “chip” that eliminates this effect, but this affects fuel consumption. Having studied the behavior of the box, I can advise the following - when the car is “thoughtful” in 2nd gear, you need to “play” (release and press again) the gas pedal and the car immediately wakes up. And you need to do it quite calmly. The technique does not accept sudden movements.

Fuel consumption

Speaking of fuel consumption. "Eats" this car more gasoline than In winter, in traffic jams, the reading reaches 14-15 l / 100 km, in the summer, in the city, 10 l / 100 km. On the road, in winter and in summer, the consumption is approximately the same - about 7 l / 100 km. At the Corolla in the summer, 5.7 l / 100 km is consumed on the road, and about 9 l / 100 km in urban traffic.

Citroen C4 owner review: disadvantages

Now about the troubles that happened in four years. One of the serious breakdowns occurred two years after the purchase - in winter, the air cooling fan jammed with snow and ice, and all its electronics failed. The fact is that for all “normal” cars the fan is installed in front of the radiator, while for the Citroen C 4 sedan - behind the radiator. The front location of the fan is protected by a radiator grill and crankcase protection from below, but more blows from behind the radiator.

It's good that the malfunction occurred in the city. And on the highway it would be worse. The result of this malfunction is the engine overheating. I had to stop, cool down and slowly "crawl" to the service. The car had to be left for a week, because the necessary parts were not available.

Upon arrival at the service, it turned out that the control board burned out, el. motor, control relay. This happened because (so the service engineer said) that there is a very small gap between the fan blades and the place where it is installed. Any debris or snow with ice (as happened to me) wedges the fan with all the ensuing consequences.

Parts arrived a week later. Then the circus begins. A call from the service “Come, pick up. All is ready!". Arrive at 18:00 as agreed. The service engineer meets, apologizes, asks to wait five minutes. The machine is behind a glass partition in the workshop. The hood is open. Near the car are three mechanics and look under the hood. The service engineer gets behind the wheel, starts the car, looks at the instrument readings on the dashboard. I understand that something is wrong. The hood is closed, the car drives out into the yard, makes a circle and drives back. Council again. They try to regulate something, but nothing comes out. I sit, studying local literature (advertising magazines). An hour has passed. No one comes out to me, says nothing. They are all behind a glass wall in the workshop. I won't get there. After two hours of waiting, in a not very rosy state, I went home by minibus. On the bus, a call from the service - “Excuse me please! We can't find the problem." To my question, when the car will be approximately ready, they cannot say. The next day at lunch they called. Everything is fine! You can pick up. It turns out that there was another malfunction - the water pump drive was faulty. I had to change it too. Good thing they replaced it under warranty. At the same time, the DTOZH was also changed - it fails for all Citroens after about forty thousand km. They say that the factory marriage.

What other cons did you notice?

Another of the malfunctions that happened within four years of operation. A couple of times on the highway, after refueling with gasoline, a yellow “gear” lit up on the instrument panel and the inscription “Engine needs repair” was displayed. It had no effect on the car. Upon arrival at the service, the malfunction was “reset”, defined as a failure of the gearbox electronics. But I think that this alert appeared after refueling with low-quality fuel, because the car was refueled at the same gas station in both cases. And both times, after 200 meters after refueling, a malfunction alarm was triggered.

Well, the last thing that happened to the car. Winter 2016-2017 in Tomsk turned out to be very snowy. The roads were badly cleaned. Cars made their way through snowdrifts, especially between houses. The Citroen C4 has a plastic boot under the bumper. Snow clogged under it, petrified from frost and squeezed out anther from right side in the direction of the car. The anther mount is the same plastic, so it could not stand it. External manifestation - a piece of plastic dangled under the bumper on the right. I tried to fix it on a self-tapping screw - it didn’t last long. I had to order an anther in the spring (5,600 rubles), repair the bumper (it cracked from contact with snowdrifts) and install a new anther - 8,500 rubles.

Fat Pros

Now about the pleasant, than our car is good. The most important thing that you get pleasure from when driving is driving performance. The car rushes like a "tank". She is quite tall ground clearance- ground clearance (176 mm), very good, balanced suspension, so obstacles on the road are passed practically without slowing down effortlessly. On the track, very good handling, maybe because of the stability control system. The car goes like clockwork. I had a case, I was driving from Novosibirsk to Tomsk, and I heard a metallic knock on the right. I stopped, examined the wheels, saw that the right front wheel lowered and "chewed". And I didn't feel anything at all. No pulling the car to the side, no decrease in dynamics, nothing at all! Now that's sustainability!

The cabin is pretty quiet. You can safely talk, moving at a speed of more than 100 km / h.

The dynamics on the track is good, overtaking is done normally, I drowned the gas pedal - in a second the car “shoots”.

Another factor that influenced the purchase of this particular car is its equipment and price. I wanted to buy a car with a course stability system, cruise control, bluetooth, heated windshield and a navigator at an average price category, and it is a sedan. I did not find such a complete set and at such a price in other brands of class C sedans at that time.

All of the above devices and "bells and whistles" are very useful and necessary. modern car. One heated windshield is worth something! It would seem nothing special, but how pleasant in winter, with an icy windshield, not to scuff it with a brush, but by pressing the button to wait, sitting in a warm car.

In addition, a good spacing between technical services- you need to change the oil every 10,000 km, and the next maintenance at an interval of 20,000 km.

All this, and an acceptable price (at that time 781,000 rubles) determined the choice with the purchase of this car.

Summing up

Total cons, in my understanding:

  • Fuel consumption with such an engine could be less.
  • Expensive parts.
  • Factory defect - DTOZH fails after about forty thousand km. Now they are installing other sensors.
  • There are few Citroen service centers in our country.

What I like:

  • The appearance of the car.
  • Driving performance.
  • Decent equipment and price.
  • Good interior trim.
  • Good interior soundproofing.
  • Large windshield.
  • Comfortable seats. Enough space for passengers rear seats.
  • Spacious glove box and trunk.
  • Complete spare wheel.
  • Volume fuel tank 60 l.
  • There is a USB connector.

Bottom line - a good car! Taking into account all the “childhood” diseases that he had been ill with, and the undoubted pluses, which are more, I recommend this car to motorists, and I myself am not going to change it yet.

Test drive video Citroen C4 (to the owner's review)

In this topic, I would like to talk about the Citroen C4 sedan to help other motorists when choosing a car.

After analyzing a large number of reviews and articles about this car, I want to tell you only the most important.

Citroen has decided to launch an updated sedan model of the famous C4 hatchback for those who were waiting for a version of this car with a larger trunk.

The popularity of the Citroen C4 sedan has recently been gaining momentum, as buyers love this car for its original design and excellent quality.

Russian specialists also took part in the development of the novelty, who tried to adapt this car to the conditions of Russia.

The first owners of the Citroen C4 Sedan in Russia have already appreciated this car in all severity. Although the car was adapted for our roads, there were still minor flaws. In general, the car is ready to go with you on daily trips to work and please its owner. With a gasoline consumption of 9 liters per 100 km in the city, this car becomes ideal for the city.

Maintenance does not cost as much as it seems at first glance. All work is done quickly and efficiently.
When comparing the Citroen C4 with cars of other brands of the same class, a large number of motorists prefer the French.

The car is designed for both the novice and the seasoned motorist. The stabilization system will help you enter and exit the turn correctly, keeping the car on the road. A wide variety of engines has an excellent quality that everyone needs - this is unpretentiousness.

Thanks to the comments of Russian specialists, all the comments on setting up and developing the suspension were taken into account. Now, the suspension is set up so that neither the driver nor the passengers will now feel small pits and cracks. Moreover, they no longer have to jump on speed bumps, as now the car gently passes these artificial barriers at a speed of 40 km/h.

Since the car was practically created anew, the developers tried to make the interior of the car both more comfortable and more beautiful. Salon Citroen C4 Sedan is simply huge. You do not have to crowd and get comfortable, this car itself adjusts to you.

The front panel (popularly a torpedo) has placed on itself only those functions that are necessary for a comfortable trip. Air conditioning (in the best configuration climate control), audio system, navigation system.

The interior materials are not just high quality, they were selected so that they could withstand both Russian frosts and summer heat. front seat the driver is adjustable in height, and the position of the steering wheel can be adjusted in 2 positions. Thanks to this, the driver will feel comfortable.

The rear seats allow 2 adult passengers to truly enjoy the ride without being distracted by minor inconveniences.
The trunk, designed for 440 liters of cargo, has a convenient loading area. But if you need to transport bulky cargo, then you just need to expand the rear seats and the trunk volume will increase by 2 times!

In the course of numerous tests, we have developed such a climate control that can satisfy the needs of even the most capricious owner. If the Citroen C4 sedan is hot outside, then you can adjust the required temperature “for yourself”. The entire interior of the car will be cooled in a matter of minutes. The stove was designed for the harsh Russian winters. The front seats are heated and side mirrors heated automatically. The interior of the car warms up much faster than in cars of this class.

The most important plus of the car is its unique, modern design, which was developed exclusively by French designers (experts in the field of car design).

In addition to the main advantages, the Citroen C4 sedan has a lot of nice bonuses.

The gas tank hatch without a plug and with an electric drive is really convenient, and it is impossible to open it until you stop, even if you accidentally press the button.

If you want, the wipers will adjust the frequency depending on the speed (option as standard).

The on-board computer shows the fuel consumption at the time of your movement.

Locking doors at speeds over 10 km/h is nothing more than safety. If your child plays in the back seat unsupervised, then pulling the handle will not open the door and he will not fall out.
If the child is unfastened from behind while driving, then the buzzer starts to yell, although if no one was buckled in the back initially, then it is silent.

But unfortunately. Even such a beautiful car has its drawbacks.

The first, and perhaps the most serious drawback is a small ground clearance. With a distance of 15 centimeters from the ground, you are unlikely to be able to go to the country. In winter, the car threatens to sit on its belly if you drive through a courtyard uncleaned from snow. It is also possible to damage the engine by driving through a deep hole/puddle. The maximum way to solve this problem is to install crankcase protection, which will cost you 6 thousand rubles.

The next problem is the inconvenient location of the seat heating controls. But this problem is not so important, because it is enough to turn on the heating only once per trip.
Too harsh brakes that take some getting used to - that's what scares off many buyers. Although harsh, but very effective.

Paintwork C4 body is not what we would like for the price. When pebbles bounce off the car in front, small chips and cracks remain, which threatens with rapid corrosion. An excellent protection against such problems can be a special protective film. This product will definitely protect C4 from minor damage. Easy to change.

A significant problem for versions with a gun is the "slowness" of the box. With a sharp start or dynamic rebuilding, the box tupits and shifts gears with delays. Many owners contacted a car service with this problem, but this is how the checkpoint is configured.

The trunk handle is also a problem. It is not protected, and after a trip in cloudy weather, you will have to get your hands dirty to open it.

Although the rear seats are comfortable, the designers spared no effort in developing the armrest in the center. But, if you do not pay attention to this little thing, then you can do without it.

Most car owners were disappointed with the standard radio. "The quality is not better than a cheap voice recorder." This problem is solved either by buying a better radio, or by calibrating the base one.

Thus, it is not difficult to understand that no matter how hard each manufacturer tries, then create perfect car impossible. This is because each person has their own ideals and preferences.

As a result, I would like to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of the car:

Pros and cons of Citroen C4 Sedan 2013:

Great original design
Soft suspension
Agility, vehicle dynamics
Large trunk with convenient loading area
Convenient front panel
Grand saloon
Easy to manage
A large number of nice bonuses

Cons and disadvantages of Citroen C4 Sedan 2013:

Small ground clearance (15cm)
Harsh brakes
Paintwork
"Slowness" automatic box

C4 has updated its design to a more relaxed one. Presented to our public back in May, many buyers were interested in its value. And not in vain. After all, the equipment of the car, its technical characteristics are quite worthy of attention for the minimum price. And in the showrooms of Paris, it could be found since the fall of 2012. In Russia in 2012, the Citroen C4 hatchback was purchased by about 13,000 drivers. And in 2013, the Citroen C4, a sedan, was replaced.

On the part of the Russians, this model has a huge location. The car has become more attractive, more spacious and more suitable for Russian roads. In the next Citroen C4 review, you will find out why this is so.

The silhouette of the car Citroen C4 has an oblong elongated shape, with accentuated side shapes and concave rear windows. At the rear, a spoiler completes the picture, slightly soaring upwards. LED light lights flash at the back and front, brightening up. French designers made the Citroen C4, a sedan on an elongated platform, 10 cm more. Designing it for Russian market, increased ground clearance to 17 cm. The sedan looks much more elite, and stampings on the side areas add sophistication.

Became larger size trunk than previous counterparts, and wheelbase stretched, increasing the freedom of action for passengers in the rear seats. The trunk volume of the Citroen C4 is 440 liters. The back part in terms of design is not particularly distinguished by anything, it has an ordinary look. The trunk, having a good capacity, did not cope with the proper fixation of the lid.

Video about the test drive of the Citroen C4 car:

Continuing C4, let us dwell on the description of the cabin. A solid design that does not cause a sense of economy, spacious enough. A chic detail is the cabin roof, which has five different positions.

Soft plastic covers the top of the Citroen C4's dash. The windshield is fully heated. Instruments of various indicators are beautifully arranged, which change their color from white to blue. The settings can be customized to your liking.

The convenient location of the driver's seat in the car, although a little elevated, but its position can be adjusted. Performs a massage function and fixes the driver well on the road. The same can be said about the adjacent seat, however, such an elevation gives additional space in, which, in principle, is already enough.

A sofa with an increased inclination of the back, making the trip more comfortable for passengers, if you do not notice the absence of a central armrest. The company emphasizes the qualities of the rear placement in the Citroen C4 car with the luxury style, which means luxury. Winter promises to be warmer due to the air ducts in the legs, which have become larger. Despite the fact that two passengers can easily afford to accommodate two passengers in the back of the car, it is better for them not to be too tall.

The Citroen C4 car has excellent handling quality - it is a smooth ride. The engineers worked on a new one. Now it functions with softness and is designed for driving at high speed in any road surface. When checking a sedan on a bumpy Russian road it turned out that he did not care about various pits.

Engine size Citroen C4 equal to 1.6 liters, and it starts by pressing one button. Petrol, turbocharged, develops 150 hp. With. With such a power of the Citroen C4, at the start, for some reason, some heaviness is felt during acceleration. Acceleration to 100 km occurs in 10 seconds. I would like to expect more from these "horses". But the six-speed automatic works smoothly and clearly, the brakes respond perfectly. In addition to this engine, engines with the same volume, but with a power of 115 and 120 hp, flaunt in the line. With. The youngest car motor has mechanical box gears, five-speed. On the “mechanics”, sometimes when switching, you can feel vibration waves. But the electro-hydraulic booster smoothes out the difficulties in control.

The Citroen C4 has an average degree in comparison with competitive models. Not too high, but not low either. The safety of passengers and the driver in the car is taken care of ABS systems, AFU and REF, as well as the stability control system. The car passed many test tests, including in harsh conditions, and successfully coped with them.

Citroen C4 sedan, 2016, restyling. I have been eyeing this model for a long time. My relative has the same, only pre-styling. Convenient, practical, for the "Frenchman" more or less reliable. I would have taken earlier, but I wanted to diesel engine. And it was not on the Russian C4 before the restyling, but it was on the Pyzha 408, which I don’t like at all.

At first everything seemed to be normal, at 10,000 km an engine error began to appear. OD periodically removes it, but the problem itself was never found and eliminated. At 30,000 km, the front brake discs ENDED, although the pads have never been changed, and the wear on the pads is only 50%. OD said that the brake discs are a consumable item and changes with each change of pads FOR MY SOME ABSURD. Further more, for 43,000 km, the automatic transmission, torque converter oil seals flowed (the car has run 43,000 km for less than 3 years, that is, the car is still under warranty). OD declares that we did not change the oil in the internal combustion engine at their place, so they will not do automatic transmissions under warranty. ..full text of the Citroen C4 review
