Citroen C4

摘要

French firm's new, comfort-first family hatchback has echoes of a 1970s great. After a short hiatus, the Citroen C4 is back. The third modern midsized family hatchback with that particular model identity, this car is claimed to pick up on the long tradition of innovation in the hatchback segment by the French marque. So is it really that innovative? You'll need a pretty long memory to recall a genuinely groundbreaking Citroen family hatchback. It's 50 years since the critically acclaimed GS won European Car of the Year in 1971, a gong that Citroen has won only twice since. The BX, ZX and Xsara that came later had plenty of fans throughout the following decades, but it's definitely the aura of the GS that Citroen is now referencing with a new C4 that puts comfort and efficiency first.
