The CITROEN C4 (2004-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 HDI 92 LX is a five-door family hatchback, aimed at buyers wanting everyday practicality without the size or cost of a larger car. It sits among mainstream alternatives such as the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, with distinctive French styling. The 1.6-litre diesel is suited to commuting and longer journeys, while the five-door layout makes school runs, shopping and carrying passengers easy. Its modest power favours relaxed driving over speed, and the C4’s cabin and comfortable ride help it stand apart from conventional rivals. LX trim provides a practical, uncomplicated package.
