Citroens have also had a measure of quirk about them, and nothing exemplifies this like the C4.
Is it a hatchback? An SUV? A wagon? Or a crossover? In reality, the latest Citroen C4 is a mix of everything with a healthy dose of style and panache to top it off.
Powertrain options in the new-generation extend to just one choice – a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine making 114kW/240Nm.
The line-up currently starts at $36,630 for the C4 Shine 1.2 THP 114 and ranges through to $47,410 for the range-topping C4 Shine 1.2 THP 96.
You can use 91-octane unleaded petrol, but to get the best performance and lowest fuel consumption it’s recommended that you use 95-octane Premium unleaded.

Were you told why the first engine failed? It’s most unusual for an engine to fail at such low kilometres, and to have it happen again is unbelievable. If the engine has failed again and needs to be replaced Citroen should do it under warranty, which should still be current. If they don’t then go to the ACCC for help, or take your claim to VCAT.

The Citroen has an automated manual gearbox, which means it is a manual gearbox with an automated shift mechanism, and what you're feeling is exactly what you describe, a smooth, slow manual change. It sounds normal.

The Citroen C4 builds on its predecessors, providing enhanced comfort through memory foam stuffing in its seats and unusually thick synthetic-leather trim. It also feature new larger screens and the small, leatherbound steering wheel it shares with its Peugeot sister brand.
The Citroen C4's boot space measures in at 380-litres (VDA) with the seats up, or 1250L with the seats down.
The C4 has five seats, stuffed with the brand's signature memory foam, and clad in unusually thick synthetic-leather trim. The front seats are semi electrically adjustable and feature a massage function.
Standard items on the single C4 launch variant in Australia include 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10-inch multiemdia touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, dual-zone climate control, synthetic leather seats and wheel trim, massage seats, semi-electrical adjust for the front seats, a 5.5-inch digital dash cluster, a holographic head-up display, keyless entry, push-start ignition, as well as ambient interior LED lighting and full LED exterior lighting.
The Citroen C4 is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in a claimed 8.5 seconds.
