Шины на Citroen C4L (Ситроен)

The Citroën C4L made its debut in 2012, when the French automaker introduced a compact sedan created specifically for markets with high demand for classic 4-door cars. The car became one of the modifications of the C4 family, but received a significantly redesigned body and an extended wheelbase. The main market for this model was China, where such sedans are consistently popular, but the model was also supplied to a number of other countries. Unlike the European C4 with the C41 index (a hatchback of the second generation), the C4L version was focused on a higher level of comfort for rear passengers and an increased trunk. As a result, the car occupied a niche between the compact and mid-size classes, offering spaciousness and equipment characteristic of larger models.

Design Features

The car is built on a modernized version of the PF2 platform from the PSA concern, which was used in the C4 models of the second generation. However, engineers increased the wheelbase to 2710 mm, which allowed for a significant expansion of the space in the rear part of the cabin. The body received a classic 3-volume layout with a long rear overhang and a large trunk lid. The exterior design is executed in the corporate style of Citroen of the early 2010s: a massive chrome-plated radiator grille, stretched headlights, and smooth side lines.

One of the features of the design was additional sound insulation and reinforced body elements. The manufacturer sought to provide a high level of comfort comparable to cars of a higher segment.

Differences from the standard model

The main difference between the C4L and the European hatchback is the body type and orientation to different markets. The 5-door version was created for Europe and differed in more compact proportions, while the C4L received an extended wheelbase and a significantly more spacious rear row. The sedan also differs in the design of the rear part of the body and an increased trunk volume, which exceeds 440 liters. The C4L's suspension was tuned softer to provide smoothness on roads with varying surface quality. There are also differences in equipment. For the sedan, additional comfort options were offered for rear passengers, including separate air ducts for the ventilation system and improved trim materials.

Technical components

The engine range consisted of several gasoline engines. The base was the "atmospheric" engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, developing around 117 horsepower. This engine was distinguished by a reliable design and relatively low fuel consumption. More powerful versions were equipped with a turbocharged 1.6 THP engine, developed in conjunction with BMW. The power of this unit reached 163 horsepower, which allowed the sedan to demonstrate good dynamics for its class. 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions were used. This combination provided a balance between economy and comfort.

The suspension design corresponds to the traditional scheme. In the front, an independent McPherson suspension is used, and a semi-independent beam is installed at the rear. Engineers paid great attention to the adjustment of shock absorbers and springs, thanks to which the car demonstrates the characteristic softness of the Citroen ride. On uneven roads, the sedan behaves confidently and comfortably, which is especially appreciated in countries with variable road surface quality. The steering is equipped with an electric power steering, and the braking system includes disc mechanisms on all wheels and modern electronic stabilization systems.

Equipment and Technology

The sedan received a wide range of equipment focused on comfort and safety. Even in the basic versions, the car was equipped with a stabilization system, air conditioning, an audio system, and a multifunctional steering wheel.

In more expensive trim levels, there were a leather salon, 2-zone climate control, a multimedia system with a touch screen, and a rearview camera. Additionally, there were sensors for light and rain, a keyless access system, and electric seat adjustments.

Among the features of the interior, one can note the good sound insulation and the spacious rear row. Thanks to the extended wheelbase, passengers in the second row get noticeably more legroom than in the original hatchback.

For this sedan, "factory" are wheel disks with a mounting diameter of 16 and 17 inches, tires 205/55 R16 and 215/50 R17. Such parameters provide a balance between the comfort of the suspension and stability at high speeds.
