Citroen C4 2021 - "German" Hatchover (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- The 2021 Citroen C4 is a compact hatchback, which looks like a crossover. The C4 is Citroen’s tenth compact car starting with the original 1928 Type C4, through Ami 6 and Ami 8, GS, BX, ZX, Xsara, C4 again, and C4 Cactus. But the Citroen C4 is not a direct replacement of the C4 Cactus. In terms of size it’s somewhere between the C4 Cactus and the C5 Aircross. Citroen no longer offers regular hatchbacks, liftbacks or estates. Everything has higher ground clearance, everything looks bold, and everything is focused on comfort.
↔ Citroen C4 dimensions:
✔ length: 4360 mm
✔ width: 1834 mm
✔ height: 1525 mm
✔ wheelbase: 2670 mm
✔ boot/trunk: 380/1250 L
💲 Citroen C4 starting price: 24 000 euro
💲 Citroen C4 price as tested: 31 000 euro

Bought mine in March,identical to the test car,this is my 8th new Citroen and By far the best,have to be careful on motorway as it is so smooth and quiet you are going a lot faster than you think.
I saw the comment and thought to myself, 'I can't remember those' and then noticed that your photo is somewhat different from mine. I will say though, that I shall be getting my wallet out in the New Year for this.
I have been driving the old c4 for 12 years and have just bought a new one and it's great well done citroen.
Good choice!
Really 🤔
im kinda surprised its cheaper than the competition,hell even compared to the kia/hyundai budget brands.interior and exterior look surprisingly good, discounting the black plastics that draw dust.im actually impressed that citroen managed to pull it off.
Marek deserves at least 1 million subscribers
Marek, you must like this car as it provokes at least 75% less French jokes than with a average French products, anyway again a nice review, keep the good work up.
This car has soul.
Citroen's (cute) reply to Arkana. 👍
Great car for sure. After owning several other brands i just love the Citroën. 👍
Good looking car. Entertaining review. Car reviewers complain that all cars in same categories look the same....car manufacturer makes something different...car reviewers say buyers won’t like something that is different....no luck car manufacturers.
If I were in a market for a compact car these days, I'd totally buy one. But I know people like their cars more conservative (or boring).
Probably one the best reviewer in Europe 👍🙂
. I’m considering to buy c4 ev or DS 3 e tense . what I dont like about them that no electric seats option( on c4 e only electric up and down adjustment) and not the best multimedia system from PSA. Overall I think it’s reasonable prices for the cars
You can use Apple CarPlay, works perfect
Marek, presentation style is your personality ! Very relaxed tone, and very professional. Instead of your previous videos where sarcasms and bashings were a part of your undertones. Now you sound classy. I'm finally subscribing. More success to you.
I test drove a new C4 and showed my kids the tablet holder in front and they went nuts. I'm not a big fan however, what happens in the case of a collision in the front? I really like the car, including the design of the back of the car, the seats are far better than those in my C3 (2017), physical A/C controls, no more million levers behind the wheel indeed, the screen displays are wonderfully crisp and the 130bhp feels snappy enough - I can see why you say the car has German influences. Everything's where you expect it is.
French journalists wanted to know what could happen with the tablet and the airbag in case of frontal impact. Citroen replied that the system was designed so that the tablet would not hit the passenger. The support breaks off making the tablet falling down before the airbag deploys.
I found the car gaudy overall but that tablet holder is exactly what I need on longer journeys and not everyone wants or has kids. And they all use their own devices anyway.
Excellent review. Citroen have done good, I like, I like it a lot 👍
I still prefer separate audio controls behind the steering wheel, because they are so easy to use and you can keep your eyes on the road.
This is my 1st Citroën, I've had mine 3 weeks, the shine plus diesel automatic, tremendous car and so well-equipped,.delighted
Great to hear!
How's the car going 6 months down the line? I'm looking at getting the automatic diesel shine.
@Marek Drives in English Hi Mark, it was a great choice thanks, I have driven nearly 19000 miles as Its my day to day company car. Its great on fuel economy and very comfortable, I have been used to more loading boot space but that's not so important, I'd highly recommend it for sure.
I got the shine plus which is quite well equipped, I'd definitely be interested in another Citroën after this. Let me know what you choose, best regards
I ended up with a Countryman. Great to hear you're pleased with your car.
Okay I got the shine diesel auto also.... yesterday in fact....so far so good enjoying it 😊
Citroen was a pioneer of buttons on the steering wheel
My daily driver is a Jaguar and my girlfriend has a C4 2015. We drove this 2018 generation with the 130 hp version in Mallorca as a rental and I was really impressed by the comfort and lack of NVH. Jaguar is definitely more sporty but the new C4 had similar rolling comfortness. I wouldn’t hesitate buying one if these parameters were what I was looking for. Image wise it’s no match for a Jag but for a reasonably priced family car it’s comfortable and typical french. We got about 4.5 l/100km on Mallorca mixed driving. Definitely has more character than the germans.
I've owned an AX - Saxo and Xsara. This is good enough to tempt me back to Citroen
Marek, you missed the first C4 (Typ L), sold from 2004 to 2010, in your Citroën compact cars history :)
It's a different generation of the same car. Similarly I missed GSA.
@@MarekDrives How they use the GS (A) in the advert for this car. That, for me, only emphasizes, just how ugly this car is. I feel there are too many angles in the bodywork. look at those back lights which are in two pieces. Why? At least no fake exhausts or air intakes (maybe)???
The double exhaust is real.
@@MarekDrives not really a different generation of the same car as it was not built on the same platform...
Great video as always. Still thinking about if to like the C4 more or the new 2008.
Very good interior. Screen is like from the BMW.
Marek, in my opinion this car differs from the competition primarily in terms of suspension, and that's what puts this car on my shortest shopping list, besides all unnecessary smaller imperfections and weird solutions. You only mentioned some comfort, but not a word about what the suspension is really like and how it acts on an average bumpy and patchy road. I am already sick of sporty, hard-suspended and robust cars “which customers want”, and looking for a decent "family" car in which I wouldn't feel like a potato in a tractor trailer. How comfortable the PHC suspension is, especially when compared to the VW's DCC. Which of these two systems is softer and more comfortable?
By the way, I like your reviews primary because of the honest and simple comments and information that don't look like they were copied from the catalog (which the other 95% of reviewers do), so I'm surprised that a more detailed description of the suspension and comfort was missing. Thank you in advance!!
I've talked about it in 2 other reviews (C4 Cactus, and C5 Aircross, so maybe I'm less excited about it now).
I love the C4 for it's smooth ride ..I am sick of bumpy cars designed on the Nurburgring
The buttons on the steering wheel you are so happy about is actually really bad thing. Previous "joysticks" behind the steering wheel was miles better, they were hugely intuitive and easy to use. So it is a step back or rather step in a wrong direction.
Agreed.
Good one Marek:-), citroen adding up sales for the past 90 years part was funny.
Nice car with tech and comfort for a competitive price! Like!
I like your presentation style man, keep it going 🙂
Previously I thought that Germans are in trouble because of new good cars from Korea. Now it looks, that they are getting beaten also by French. Interesting times.
German cars are overpriced full stop. In real terms car manufacturing has got cheaper due to automation and sourcing of components from the far East as well as making cars outside of Germany, yet they have not passed these savings on to the consumer, preferring to ratchet up the prices of subsequent new models. Their reliability has also dropped off, my friend has recently had a new A class Mercedes and already he is having reliability issues with the electronics and Air Con.
@@mariojager43 his A class might have a Renault engine
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 He mentioned electronics and Air Con which have absolutely nothing to do with Renault. And by the way we have SsangYong Kyron (necessary evil for towing beehive trailer) with Mercedes 2.0 diesel engine (140 BHP) 2010 and it`s nothing but trouble. So much for "German ingeneering". Prior to that we had Citroën Xsara Break 2.0 Hdi (110 BHP) 2004 - trouble free motoring (apart for regular maintenance ofcourse).
@@tyraela115 there is no German engineering, only German marketing. Check ruclips.net/video/sUIK7K_q8eY/видео.html
the tablet holder should be useful when waiting for charging during travels when using in the ev version of the c4 :-)
I always believed that Citroens, and French car brands in general do the best city cars.
Please contact your doctor or Toyota showroom :D
@@TheJirator that's why I said city cars! Small cars, I don't trust PSA cars one bit when it comes to electric cars or bigger cars!

And what about the Italians?
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod it still uses a Toyota engine, the 1KR-FE, which is also used in the Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1
@@autochampwandelen i can tell u are wrong . I own many german cars before from bmw to audi vw and all had many seriouse problems . I have citroen to c4 grand picasso diesel never had issues and is very easy to fix my self to. On german cars all is locked and u need to go to dealership for error codes. Most problematic was bmw
I saw one on the road yesterday in the same colour. Looks nice from the front but a mess at the back.
A question Marek, you mentioned the lights, is this something you could talk more about? LEDs are supposed to be powerful and safer but some do not seem so good. Thank you
LEDs seem bright, because of the white hue they produce. However brightness expressed in lumens can vary depending on the application. As you probably remember, cars 20 years ago had halogen headlamps with manual levelling adjustment. There was usually a little dial or knob somewhere around the driver's knee. Fiat put it in the menu between the dials. But you get the general idea. Then came xenon headlights, which initially were installed on higher-end cars, and were so bright (>2000 lumens) that they came with a self-levelling mechanism. Basically sensors around the rear suspension, which adjusted the beam so that the car with xenon headlights would not dazzle oncoming traffic. This later trickled down to more affordable cars. Some models even had manual levelling adjustment, because less powerful xenon bulbs were used (especially in city cars or there was some some option to get "premium" headlights - whatever is necessary to pull some more money from your pocket :) ).
And now we have the LED headlights, which come in two main forms: LED day running lights (because they can be nicely shaped to give the car a signature look) + halogen headlights, and full LED headlights. The latter can be 2000 with automatic self-levelling mechanism. From there we can go into more complex solutions, like matrix LED and laser lights, which are so smart, they will adapt to the type of road you are on (based on sat-nav information), your speed, etc., and they will "cut out" oncoming traffic. It's hard to capture on camera, but I tried for example in the "living in a 7 Series" video (ruclips.net/video/zXG6Ryb6F7M/видео.html), the A7 Sportback video (ruclips.net/video/5VBL4hqfK4o/видео.html - this one probably shows it best), and the E 53 AMG video (ruclips.net/video/SEtFKLYBFFE/видео.html). It doesn't look like much on camera, but with a naked eye there's like a darker square forming around the oncoming car. Also traffic signs are "cut out" from the beam so that you can see what's on the sign, rather than just a strong glare from the reflection. Clever stuff, and very good if you often drive at night in poorly lit areas. You can see 500-600 meters in front.
And how about this C4 led lights? They are at least average? What about cornering function or high beam function?
It's a city car, and the lights are not the brightest.
In a couple of years maybe my next quirky car.
Like the BX inspired rear.

Marek, A bit late but superb review again. I do not see anything German in the C4 but pure French design. Citroën is expanding it's design to more edgy straight lines then the more rounded playful design of C3, C3 and C5 Aircross. The C4 was the headstart of this design evolution and will continue with the new C5x. The C4 is full of French joie de vivre and imho designer Pierre Leclercq has hit the nail on the right spot. The best Citroën since years. I can't wait when you make a review of the new C5x.
Thanks. I was referring to the more user-centric design approach, which IMO is new to the French. For years whatever they designed was interesting, but mostly unusable, because we're the French, we have our savior-faire, and fuck you foreign peasants :)
@@MarekDrives great reply Marek. That is why I love the French attitude.
Thanks Marek, got home from work, looked at the computer, saw your video and said Friday! You are down to earth, always amusing, and I enjoy a little well placed sarcasm. Did I miss something or has production quality gotten even better?
Thanks! My original pre-covid idea was that around 3PM on a Friday many people are still stuck in the office, and they have an hour or two to kill, before their boss leaves early, and they can evacuate as well :)
As for the quality - I suppose we all learn, as we go along, and this goes for my video as well. I know it may sound silly, but it took me 7-8 years of doing this to start playing with manual camera settings, and probably in the last year I started paying more attention to controlling the light (if possible), etc. So if you can see the improvement, it's a sign I'm going in the right direction.
@@MarekDrives Your personality is what sells it. I don´t youtube at work, too much to do, but your videos are always enjoyable, a great wind down from the week. Thanks again.
BEAUTIFUL & FUTURISTIC
super car review like always. thank you Marek :) even if Citroen builds something good, there is something about them that stops me putting them in my wishlist of cars. they do enough differentiating themselves with other manufacturers but still price is a key point. it should be lower.
So with that suspension, which seems to me to be the standout feature, how does it ride? Not a word on the subject in this ‘review’
I really, really wanna hear a logical explanation for that tablet thing
I can’t believe you didn’t put the first c4
Unic car , the best car citroen c4.
Is a review of the facelifted C3 coming?
Eventually.
Just purchased one of these petrol manual.I can honestly say I love it!
Good choice!
I like this car a lot. It really stands out from the crowd of indifferent c-segment hatchbacks. I own a Peugeot 308, model 2019, and I have the same problem with the start/stop system. It's totally useless.
In France or Spain the start and stop works very well. I did not know it did not work when the weather is very cold but I can understand it is due to the battery power with low temperature.
@@stateless4255 its about making drivers be aware of the slippery roads. If you dont have your foot on the gas when the road gets slippery you might be late to react
little C4 knockin' on your door!
Bx was replaced by xantia, zx was replaced by xrara.
You are right, but Citroen lists them together in the C4 press release.
I like your style. I've owned a 2016 intensive level c4. My only real complaint technically is the automatic transmission. Its 'clunky' at first random shifting was so weird. Well I got over it. I suppose the 3 cylinder 1.2 affects. Anyway, No Way will I trade my c4 for a 2021. A wannabe suv isn't for me. I'll drive my c4 until Finland raises petrol car tax up where the sun don't shine. 😉
Excellent review, I like the detail regarding visibility with the A pillar and wiper clearance, which would annoy me🙂. the petrol automatic is only available in top trim afaik, otherwise manual.
Amazing car Marek. I was looking one exactly like that. It was damn beautiful! The interior was less than i thought but im a big guy anyway! Marek please do the new Kona with the 1.6 diesel mild hybrid engine! If you can!
I don't think we get Kona diesel here.
@@MarekDrives 😕😕
What about the 2004-2010 C4? The one where the middle of the steering wheel doesn’t move and split rear window similar to this one. Big fan of this channel
You are probably right. It's been ages, since I've sat in one of those. In my defence I will say it probably only had radio and simple cruise control on it.
@@MarekDrives you either are too young, which I doubt, or not too prepared on your Citroens. That car had steering buttons even on the very cheapest version. AND the split rear window (through which you really could see).
I have driven both generations of the C4. Now I recall the funny steering wheel from the first gen, which had the middle part fixed. The second gen indeed has some buttons on the steering wheel, and from my reviews of this second gen car, and the C4 Picasso I can't see any buttons behind the steering wheel. So my bad - Citroen was ahead of its time, and then decided to go down the joystick road. Good to see they are back from the dead.
Vive la France!!
Nice review
Thanks!
Great informative, with a dash of humour, video. Thank you for sharing, my son made me watch this video😂😂🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dziękuję Ci Marku za ta prezentacje 👍🚘 tak ,tak .... to jest mój nowy kolejny citroen , Thank you so much for the all info 😊
I'd love it if you went into more details about the autonomy features. Autopilot tech is why I buy a new car in the 2020s instead of just getting a second hand one.
I have an extensive comparison Tesla 3 vs. VW Arteon on my second channel, but it's in Polish only. Long story short: European (lets call them European) brands have the tech, but are not legally ready for greater autonomy. Also they want to introduce it gradually as part of normal facelifts and new generations. This is their business model. Tesla on the other hand, although it is far from being fully autonomous (Autopilot was a brilliant term from the marketing perspective, although these days it carries an asterisk on the Tesla website), has adopted a business model, which allows for frequent OTA updates, which unlock some of the features, which may not be legal here from the showroom.
Tesla vs. VW - Tesla will stop for pedestrians, which VW will not do. Tesla will try and follow the road, once it gets its bearings, VW needs to see the while lines at all times to be able to assist you in driving. AFAIK the full autonomy feature in Tesla is very limited in Europe.
@@MarekDrives I appreciate that and I'll try to watch it in polish with subs. I'm also interested in what Hyundai is offering in their 2021 cars like the new Tucson. They're apparently quite advanced. You can also put a comma two on a toyota or hyundai and have even more capabilities.
There are no subs :(
The video is almost 1h long, and was unscripted, so translating it, and adding subtitles just wasn't worth it.
I'll add a longer semi-autonomous driving segment to the next review with a decent set of self-driving functions. I wish you left this comment last week, because I was filming the BMW 5 Series, where the semi-autonomous system works brilliantly.
I'm currently test driving a Toyota, which is far behind in terms of driving autonomy (at least from the clients' perspective).
They have manual one
Really like Citroen's but after Honda and Toyota ownership experience the lack of bulletproof reliability is something I can do without.
The way you select PRND, is kinda similar to what’s found in an Audi A3.
I don't know. Audi doesn't talk to me. I haven't seen the A3 since my A3 Limousine review ages ago.
I’ve watched reviews of the new A3.
you are great!
They tried the rear wiper delete on the early UK C5's. Didn't work then, won't work now.
I like the design
I really like the physical buttons for the heating / AC
the front is like the Hyundai Tucson's (you recently test driven)
In general I like the car and I want you Marek if possible to make a comparative test drive between this one and the OPEL Mokka (knowing that they share the same power train since both are PSA products)
Mokka is smaller. It's a 2008 competitor. The C4 is Astra size.
As for interior differences, inside the Mokka looks more or less like the Corsa, so it's like that 208 vs. Corsa video.
ruclips.net/video/xFXU_-8QHPs/видео.html
@@MarekDrives ok fair but the same engine is there
@@AliHijazi The 20d engine is available from the previous generation 1 series all the way to the 5 series. Doesn't mean you should compare them.
Hi Marek, nice review! Will you also test the e-c4? Also about the semi-autonomous driving: Citroen claims the c4 has stop-go functionality. Meaning it can keep up with traffic and stop when the car in front stops, then accelerate again when traffic starts moving and so on. I would love to see someone test this, as I think it is a great feature. But it seems no reviewer ever tests this (in any car), so does it actually work? You are one of the best reviewers out there and possibly the only one brave enough to try this! You will be a legend if you do.
eC4 will be the same as the e2008 I reviewed a couple of months ago. Stop&go ACC is available on many cars. I see I will have to go more in depth next time I have a car with this feature.
Because of my work I avoid traffic, and focus mostly on assist features on motorways.
Problem is that timing belt is wet and it is costly to maintain and replace in 1.2 PureTech Petrol engine.
AFAIK it's neither costly nor difficult, but has to be done well ahead of scheduled maintenance.
my god...why so little screen in front of driver?! Because have HUD? lol
Very curious your opinion is C4 as good as C4 c4cactus? As well how those compare to ds4 and to dacia duster or Nissan qushgai? Very curious your opinion which one of those would be all round best ,fun to drive and comfortable
You forgot the 2005 C4... Just counted the second version, the 2011 c4... The one that had NO joysticks behind the steering wheel, just on it.
Actually Citroen has a history of buttons on the steering wheel, but in recent years most of them didn't.
I like this review for some of the things you point out :
EcoLED headlight (more and more manufacturer wants you to believe that they're like the high end ones...)
Electric seats not really available
But, you talked too much about the 0-100 (don't care on a C4), not enough about the suspension comfort.
Actually I use the word "comfort(able)" 7 times in this review.
Twice talking about the seats. Three times talking about this car's comfort in general. Twice specifically about the suspension, also referring to the same suspension setup in the C5 Aircross and C4 Cactus, and displaying the bloody animation to show how the flipping thing works. So don't tell me I didn't talk enough about comfort! :)
@@MarekDrives You said it has this suspension and it's comfortable, but you didn't really talked about how the suspension actually behave or compare it to other cars like you usually do if that make sense ;)
Cop screen for police car? good video 😎👍
Don't knock the ;'joystick' audio controls, i much prefer them to teh target practice steering wheel mounted controls. The tablet is apparently for when the electric version is charging, you can sit and catch up with emails, watch a movie, learn Polish, on a bigger screen than your phone.
it looks dope
I like it
It all started in 2002 when Citroen designed the C3 for myopic cat ladies. That's the only type of person who would by a blob on four wheels. Inspired by the Micra K12? Possibly, but such a shame. Maybe the light is beginning to appear at the end of the design tunnel. But still a way to go.
Hi Marek, would you say Citroen C4 is worth buying more than Peugeot 2008 or Skoda Kamiq? I had a test drive with all of them and Peugeot was the least ergonomic af all. Android Auto did not work properly, the screen was not intuitive, too much of cheap plastics. Kamiq is not very exiting to look at. But what bothers me with Citroen is it's ability to hold value. I'm afraid it will depreciate in value of all 3 the most. What do you think?
First of all, the C4 is a bigger car than the other two. It's more of a Karoq/3008 competitor. As for value, I guess it depends on how long are you planning to hold on to it. Over longer periods it doesn't really make that much of a difference. Also you should ask yourself, whether the money you're going to get back when time comes to sell is really worth your comfort and pleasure over a few years. These are not investment cars. They are people movers.
Nice car, not for race driver but extremely soft, comfy and not breaking like German cars
First a rival to cars like the Ford Focus or Renault Megane and now rivals to Ford Puma or Honda Hrv. Swapped with cactus
Have PSA fixed the timingbelt problem with the 1,2 L petrol engine?
Reasonably priced?

Depends how big a family.
@@MarekDrivesENG marek 2 childs seats and one kid with seat belt ....toyota chr ???telle your best like please ....man with a briliant speech!!!!!

For this big a family you want a VW Touran/Sharan or something of that size. Preferably something with three individual sliding seats. I would say Renault Espace, but I don't trust Renault electrical system.
If it did not have some bizarre features , it would not be French
3:03 lets not forget Toyota Prius same thing lol 😂
very nice car...
Add more comedy, but was unclear if laughing at or with C4. I like Citroen...perhaps Reliability and Crash scores relevant 👍👍
How was the maneuvering of this car while you drove it on the snow?
It was OK. Anything specific you're looking for?
@@MarekDrivesENG currently I have a Nissan Qashqai which doesn’t have stability control and driving on the snow (Chilean mountains) sometimes get difficult even with snow chains. I’m wondering if the New C4 will perform better with and without snow chains
Qashqai without ESP? Like an early 2007-2008 model?
The C4 is a FWD car, so traction control or without, there is only so much it can achieve in adverse conditions. This is by no means an offroader, and neither is the Qashqai.
There's no all wheel drive option which will kill it.
What about reliability the most important point، French cars no doubt are designed well with luxury interior but still reliability in question
Never understood why manufacturers won't make wipers that go all the way to the a-pillar
I suspect it's a case of one size fits all (or at least many) models, so not everything fits perfectly.
Remember when we got the right hand drive Peugeot 206 not only was fuse box left in place so glove box was tiny but the wipers were still left hand drive models so passengers had big wiper n driver had smaller one
Yes, that fusebox in the glovebox situation for RHD markets is hilarious and pathetic at the same time. I remember complaining about something like the Mitsubishi Space Star (the new one) having a rear wiper on the wrong side, but PSA in the UK takes the biscuit.
You seem to have gone from frost to tropical very quickly
We had a couple of weeks of snow around February. But we can't get the summer jump started just yet :,-)
I always thought Citroën BX was medium sized car like VW Passat:)
Does it really have "real" exhaust at the rear?:)
Yes, but Citroen lists it along other compacts. Maybe they needed one more to reach 10 :-)
GS/GSA and the BX were indeed the predecessors of the C5 (the so called D segment) NOT the C4. The thing is cars usualy tend to grow but puting GS/GSA and BX alongside C4 (1928), Ami 6/Ami 8, ZX, Xsara, C4 (2004 and 2010) and C4 Cactus (based on C3`s old platform 1 not 2 - so it should be called C3 Cactus really) was really beyond retarded marketing ploy nothing more.

Still waiting for fso review...
There's not much to review. It's a crap car in and out, additionally crippled by the centrally planned economy, which was forced to send less bad stuff abroad, and keep the total crap at home. Apparently it was possible to build a decent FSO Polonez, but you had to manually select non-defective parts from the parts bin, rather than install whatever arrived on the production line.
what would you pick compare to renault arcana
C4. I really like it.

I don't know much about the situation in other European markets, but maybe I'll do something about the market in Poland.
