The CITROEN C4 HATCH (2014-18) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 BLUEHDI DPFR SS 120 EU6 PLATINUM EAT AUTO6 is a five-door family hatchback, sitting among practical mainstream choices such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Its smart, comfortable character makes it a useful alternative to sportier rivals, with room for everyday passengers and shopping. The 1.6-litre BlueHDi diesel and automatic gearbox suit regular commuting and longer journeys, while stop-start technology is intended to help reduce fuel use in traffic. Platinum trim adds a more well-equipped feel. It should appeal to small families, commuters and buyers wanting a comfortable, economical used car rather than a tiny city runabout. mycarcheck.com has only one recorded check for this version, so its figures are a snapshot, not a market-wide average: £3,500 average private-sale valuation, 92,000 miles, 5,000 miles a year and three previous keepers.
