The sculpted horizontal lines and aerodynamic vents of the front end accentuate the model’s compact appearance. The contours of the bonnet, the wide wheel arches and the reduced front and rear overhangs all combine to enhance the overall impression of robustness. The distinctive light signature at the front – illuminated both day and night – is created by LEDs integrated into the vertical vents. The shape of the large 18-inch wheels and the rear lights are directly inspired by the Hypnos concept car, revealed in 2008 in Paris, as well as the inverted shark fin at the rear. The fin is decorated at the tip with a chrome compass motif to denote the model’s inclusion in Citroën’s SUV family.
The C4 AIRCROSS fulfils Citroën’s ecological commitments with its HDi 110 and 150 engines mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox with maximum power of 82kW and 110kW.

The model’s compact dimensions – 4.34m long, 1.80m wide, 1.63m high – and 10.6m turning circle ensure outstanding manoeuvrability in the urban environment. The comfort of this 5-seater is worthy of the saloon segment above, while the 442-litre boot comfortably meets the demands of modern life. All occupants can enjoy the large
The New Citroën C4 AIRCROSS’ design is also focused on ease of use in everyday driving. A high level of specification includes GPS navigation with touch-screen, a reversing camera and USB/Bluetooth connectivity for portable audio players.
