You remember the old C4 It was the middlest of middle-of the road hatches and when it died two years ago, precisely no-one noticed.Wed already moved on, swayed by the cutesy, bubbly charms of the Cactus.
But now thats going too, and in its place we have something more ordinary, something for a mainstream audience. Ordinary, mainstream cars sell of course, which is why they exist, and Citroen wants to be a key player in that market, going up against the likes of the Ford Focus and new VW Golf. So its decided to rise above them. Literally. Its a crossover, because of course its a crossover. All the tropes are there: suspension lift, body cladding, slanted insecty lights front and rear, and one curious vent behind the front wheel that looks like it might be a refugee from the Cactus. The nose is pure recent Citroen, the profile could be anything - unless youre a student of Citroen history, in which case youll recognise the dropping roofline and rear quarterlight shape from the C6 saloon and way before that, the CX and GS.

Technical details arent being made public until the end of this month, but its pretty easy to speculate that the C4 is likely to use the same petrol and diesel engines. But hopefully also add some with more power at the moment the 208 is restricted to a 1.2 petrol with 75, 100 or 130bhp, or a 100bhp 1.5 diesel. The biggest news is that there will be an all -electric e-C4. Again lets assume itll use the Peugeot powertrain, which means a 50kWh battery feeding a 136bhp, 221lb ft motor. Unless a bigger battery is fitted, the larger, heavier e-C4 wont be able to match the 208s claimed 217 mile range. Expect automatic and manual gearboxes, front-wheel drive all the usual hatchback features. Citroen has even reined itself in on the interior jewellery that has afflicted it recently and the result looks simpler and better thought out. Citroen claims this is its fifth electric car, but given one is the Ami urban runaround, two more are vans and the other is the C5 Aircross hybrid, wed be putting those to one side and claiming this e-C4 as our giant leap.
