Citroen DS4

Citroen DS4 - a beautiful and compact crossover

A compact car surprises with a spacious interior inside. The trunk, with a volume of 365 liters, boasts an impressive capacity. Auto offers several interior colors, as well as a possible combination of several tones.

The interior is upholstered in high quality leather. The vibration of the engine and the noise of the wheels will remain imperceptible to the driver. The car has a power under the hood of 160 horsepower.

Citroen C4 Aircross

Citroen C4 Aircross impresses with its dynamic appearance. The front of the car stands out with the Citroen logo across the entire width of the grille.

Salon Citroen C4 Aircross is made in a classic style. However, it has many options and climate control. Like the entire series, C4 Aircross is equipped with excellent soundproofing.

The salon is very spacious and can easily accommodate five people. C4 Aircross is able to move both on asphalt and off-road.

Advantages and disadvantages of Citroen crossovers

Citroen Hypnos has a stylish ex and interior, well-controlled, dynamic overclocking.

The disadvantages of the crossover include poor safety, mediocre acoustics and visibility, frequent rear suspension repairs.

Citroen C-Crosser has advantages in the form of dynamics and excellent handling at high speeds, automatic all-wheel drive, good diesel traction, minimal fuel consumption.

It is customary to attribute the suspension work, steering wheel adjustment, mediocre ergonomics, and the high cost of repairs to the disadvantages of the crossover.

Citroen C4 Aircross has a high ground clearance, a convenient control panel that is easy to remember, a stylish body design, excellent sound insulation and dynamic acceleration.

The disadvantages of the model include a weak suspension, which often requires repair, excessive sensitivity to temperature changes and the quality of gasoline, poor handling at high speeds.

Citroen DS4 has excellent sound insulation, visibility of the side mirrors, interior comfort, indestructibility, trunk volume, ground clearance.

The disadvantages of a car are the high price for a crossover, the quality of materials in the cabin, fuel consumption, low bumper overhang.

Comparison with competitors

The main competitor of the Citroen C4 Aircross is the Opel Corsa. The relaxed chassis is an Opel hallmark, but it's quite a plus. The car also has a smooth ride.

However, the Citroen has a rigid suspension that allows you to overcome obstacles without disturbing the comfort of the driver and passengers. Auto enters even the sharpest turns and maintains the selected trajectory.

According to the technical characteristics of power, dynamism and cubic capacity, the crossovers are identical. Engine power and horsepower are the same. This means that the main difference lies in the design and comfort of the cabin.

It is worth noting that the Citroen is more economical in terms of fuel consumption, which makes the car stand out.

Both cars move smoothly. Slender is reliable and predictable, while Peugeot can surprise.

The Citroen driver's seat is equipped with all the necessary settings. The control panel is also more versatile. The crossover is also compact, however, this is not an advantage for all motorists.

The design distinguishes the Citroen crossover from its competitors. He is an original model that does not look like any classmate. At the same time, the model has no ergonomic errors.

The Citroen C-Crosser is often compared to the Peugeot 4007. Both cars are based on the Mitsubishi platform. Both models are very similar to each other, both in terms of design and technical specifications.

However, the Citroen is more streamlined, with smooth lines and beautiful curves. The interior is decorated in a very original way, the center console stands out in particular. While Peugeot borrowed interior design from its Japanese counterpart.

The materials that are used for upholstery are on the same level for both crossovers. The audio system is much better in Peugeot. However, the insulation outperforms the Citroen crossover.

Outcome

Thus, each Citroen model has its advantages and disadvantages. However, more and more people are becoming owners of Citroen crossovers and are happy with their choice.

Citroen crossovers collect only positive reviews and delight their owners.

There is a wide variety of SUVs and crossovers. Some of them are distinguished by angularity and deliberate rudeness (like the “off-road” line of most American brands), some are distinguished by a luxurious interior and a large number of electronic systems that help the driver and passengers feel comfortable in any conditions (like SUVs and crossovers of German and Japanese production) . And some cars are distinguished by sophistication, elegance and their pronounced corporate identity. Citroen SUVs and crossovers belong to this category of cars. What are the most "large" representatives of this French car brand?

Citroen C4 Aircross

The flagship of the company in the off-road segment is the Citroen C4 Aircross crossover. By and large, it can even be regarded as an SUV, but the official manufacturer classifies the car as a crossover. The C4 Aircross has all the hallmarks of a compact crossover. The 2013 Citroen C4 model range has an original appearance, which is emphasized by horizontal bumper lines, sloping trunk contours, unusual air intakes, a short body kit and wide wheel arches. With this exterior, the Citroen C4 Aircross makes the best impression on car enthusiasts, as everything says that this mini SUV has excellent performance, reliability and dynamics.

It should be noted that despite its price (and it is very, very attractive, given the characteristics of this car), the crossover has a very pleasant interior design and high ergonomics. The C4 of 2013 is equipped with seat heating functions, electronic adjustment of interior elements and other options that are useful for passengers and the driver.

We should also pay attention to the various innovations that are present in the Citroen C4 Aircross. What is at least the ability to start or turn off the engine without taking the ignition key out of your pocket. However, this is not the only innovative solution - the crossover has a wide variety of functions and options that were previously not available in most SUVs and crossovers.

French crossovers and Citroen SUVs are represented by another car, regarding which there are disputes about its class. This is the luxury version of the C4 sedan - the compact Citroen DS4. On the one hand, it is considered to be a hatchback. But due to the high ground clearance, it can be conditionally considered that the car positions itself as an SUV or crossover. Agree, because there are models that are controversial in their belonging to a certain class? The same BMW X-1, by and large, is a hatchback with increased ground clearance, which does not even have all-wheel drive in many trim levels, but it is generally accepted that this is a crossover. The same is true of the 2013 Citroen DS4.

Like all French cars, DS4 is characterized by dynamism and elegance. A large number of chrome exterior elements, 19-inch alloy wheels, well-defined wheel arches and an unusual body shape allow this model to attract the attention of many motorists. The 2013 Citroen DS4 has a truly huge windshield that sets the tone for the car's exterior.

The premium model confirms the quality of the materials used in the interior trim. The front panel is framed with soft and pleasant to the touch plastic, there are five different color variations of leather seats. In general, the interior of the crossover is comfortable and cozy. Separately, it is worth noting the intelligent systems of the Citroen DS4. All premium crossovers and SUVs are equipped with such systems, which once again emphasizes that the car belongs to the class of elite cars.

As for the technical characteristics of the car, they, as is inherent in high-quality and expensive representatives of the crossover family, are at the highest level. Thanks to the wide range of 2013 DS4 engines, car enthusiasts can choose any variation that will be most suitable for them. You can choose top-end configurations that are distinguished by high dynamic performance, or you can choose minimal ones that are not as powerful, but have no less outstanding characteristics.

Citroen C-Crosser

A prominent representative of the Citroen off-road segment is the C-Crosser crossover. As you know, it is built on the same platform as Peugeot and Mitsubishi. However, it cannot be said that this car is a clone of the above brands. And if in profile you can see some resemblance to the 2013 Outlander XL or Peugeot's 4007 model, then looking into the "eyes" of the car, you can see the design and unique style that is inherent only to Citroen.

Comparing the car with its competitors, you can see that the C-Crosser looks very neat and original. Of course, it does not have such elegance as in the Citroen C6, and it also does not have the "friendliness" of the C2. But the important thing is that the crossover has a personality and does not look like cars that are made on the same platform. And if the Outlander XL SUV is predatory and aggressive, the Peugeot 4007 crossover is friendly, then the C-Crosser is stylish, due to the stroke of the double chevron and avant-garde lines throughout the body of the car.

Despite the fact that the C-Crosser has four-wheel drive, do not forget that it is still a crossover, not an SUV. Therefore, by car, you can go on a short trip out of town, but it is unlikely to conquer impassable areas on it. It should be noted that the Citroen C-Crosser has excellent technical characteristics, and a large number of various options, most of which are available even in basic trim levels, greatly “simplify life” for the owner of the crossover.

In Russia, a small crossover Citroen C3 Aircross, rather eccentric against the background of familiar bestsellers, will soon appear, official sales of which will start on March 12, 2018. The front-wheel drive SUV will be offered with 1.2-liter PureTech gasoline engines with 82 and 110 hp, as well as a 1.6 HDi turbodiesel with 92 hp. Price range - from 1,069,000 to 1,382,000 rubles .

The initial 82-horsepower engine and diesel engine have an uncontested manual gearbox, and the top-end 110-horsepower version is combined exclusively with a 6-speed automatic. Three equipment levels will be available for the new C3 Aircross.

Live comes standard with driver and passenger front and side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, ABS, ESP, power and heated mirrors, plus air conditioning, a two-level boot floor, and an entry-level audio system with USB and Bluetooth. A petrol turbo version with automatic transmission in this version costs from 1,242,000 rubles, and a diesel engine - from 1,177,000 rubles.

Inaccessible to the base engine, the average Feel trim is equipped with a Winter package with heated front seats and foglights, climate control, a media system with a 7-inch touchscreen, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and roof rails. Such an Aircross is valued at 1,307,000 rubles for the petrol version and 1,242,000 rubles for the HDi diesel.

The top version of Shine has 16-inch alloy wheels, a head unit with navigation and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto protocols, rear parking sensors, a Grip Control system with 5 driving modes (snow, mud, sand, standard and ESP OFF), a rain sensor and heated steering wheel.

Citroen makes it possible to expand the equipment of fixed configurations with additional options. For a surcharge, a Safety package is offered, which includes (an emergency braking system, an automatic high-beam headlight switching system, a driver attention and concentration monitoring system, a traffic sign recognition system for speed limits, and a lane assistant.

The Citroen C3 Aircross can be equipped with a panoramic roof, side sunblinds, wireless charging for a smartphone, a head-up display, a rearview camera, keyless entry and engine start, and four trim options in addition to the main one: Metropolitan Grey/Urban Red fabric upholstery and Hype combination Mistral/Hype Colorado.

In general, individualization is the main strong point of the new C3 Aircross. The crossover is available in eight exterior colors, four roof colors and four more Color Packs. In total, you can combine as many as 90 different color variations of the body. Citroen separately focuses on the practicality of the new SUV, which has one of the most spacious trunks: its volume varies from 410 to 520 liters with the rear seats moved forward as far as possible.

Continuing the news from the Chinese automobile exhibition, one cannot fail to note the new Citroen C4 Aircross SUV 2018 model year. This car will enter the Celestial market this summer. In fact, this model is the same, only increased in length.

New Citroen C4 Aircross

This decision was made specifically for consumers in the Chinese market. However, it is worth noting the possibility of the appearance of Citroen C4 Aircross in other markets: for example, in Europe, Russia, America and other countries. But to date, there is no exact data confirming such a decision of the French manufacturing company, therefore this information should not yet be regarded as a future reality.

The design of the new SUV body Citren C4 Aircross

Given the fact that the Citroen C4 Aircross is a modernization of the Citroen C3 Aircross, it is worth noting their genuine similarity in appearance. However, even in this state of affairs, many experts note that the C4 looks more solid than its older brother.

front view of the new crossover

In addition to the increased overall dimensions of the body, its proportions were also changed - the overhangs of the car were created more compact; stylized lining appeared on the lower parts of the side doors; the roof, like the overall length of the car, has grown in size, but at the same time it has become more straight and with less slope to the stern; doorways, obviously, also added in size.

The combination in the body design of strict and solid elements - such as the famous company badge along with straight chrome horizontal lines diverging to the sides to very narrow headlights, for example - coupled with rounded exterior features that can be traced in most of it, give brightness to the design and individual originality.

The roof rails got a more stylish look, having a sharp design ledge in front of them. In general, the appearance of the body turned out, like that of a colleague, a little exaggerated, but the increased length of the car allows you to blur the overall picture and make the Citroen C4 Aircross more serious with some rigor in the features of the model.

Salon French crossover C4 Aircross

Just like with the exterior design, inside the interior of the C4 SUV in many ways repeats the interior of its older brother. But still, it was not without innovations - the manufacturing company refreshed the interior a little. For example, among the changes inside the Citroen C4 Aircross are:

• updated four-spoke steering wheel;
• a new multimedia installation with an 8-inch touch screen, inherited from the C5-brother model;
• increased legroom for rear row passengers (due to increased body length and wheelbase);
• more spacious luggage compartment compared to C3.

saloon Citroen C4 Aircross 2018-2019

As for the equipment of the model, here the car is ready to please its future owners with the following:

• an informative dashboard with stylish small tunnel visors for the tachometer and speedometer, as well as a small display
• trip computer between them;
• multifunctional steering wheel, with a comfortable position of the buttons;
• high-quality climate control;
• the touch screen of the central panel allows you to control the advanced functionality of the car, including a rear view camera,
• navigator and LTE Internet;
• keyless start of the engine and opening/closing of door locks;
• driver's seat with electrically adjustable positions;
• projection display;
• possibility of wireless charging of smartphones;
• leather interior;
• panoramic sunroof.

It is also worth noting technical solutions to improve safety - tracking systems for road signs, position on the road and monitoring the driver's condition.

As we noted above, the Citroen C4 Aircross received an elongated body, and therefore its overall dimensions exceed those that its fellow model C3 can boast of. So, we present you the dimensions of the car with their difference, relative to the donor model:

- length: 4277 mm (+122 mm);
- width: 1755 mm;
- height: 1635 mm;
– length of the wheelbase: 2657 mm (+53 mm);
luggage compartment capacity: 480/1382 liters (rear seatbacks fold 40/60).

The French SUV is equipped with 17-inch rims.

At the presentation, the creators paid attention to describing the advantages of the maximum configuration, keeping silent about the basic and others. But it is known that they will be richly equipped and do not cause a hint of dullness or scarcity. It is also worth noting that the interest of the world public is riveted to the issue of the appearance of the Citroen C4 Aircross in the automotive markets of other countries. In view of the uncertainty in his regard, there is not even talk about trim levels for consumers in other countries.

1.2-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine with 135 horsepower;
