The successor to the Citroën C4 Cactus and
regular C4, rumored to adopt the C4 Aircross moniker, has been spotted once
again undergoing testing, this time in Germany. These are actually the most
revealing spy shots yet of the upcoming coupe crossover, which is expected to
go on sale in 2021. Compared to the previous sighting in northern Sweden, the
camouflage on the passenger-side front door of this C4 Aircross prototype was
peeled off for some reason.
We also get to see how big the 2021 C4 is
as we see it parked alongside an Opel Grandland X. It’s pretty obvious the C4
crossover is smaller than the Grandland X, with its Opel equivalent being the
Crossland X. We know that it is based on an extended version of PSA’s CMP
platform shared with the all-new Peugeot 2008. As a result, it’s expected to
offer similar petrol, diesel and all-electric powertrains.
Using the stretched CMP architecture also
means the C4 Aircross will have a longer wheelbase compared to the C4 Cactus,
resulting in a roomier cabin. As for the design, we can see it features a
sloping roofline, bulky wheel arches, and a higher ground clearance than the C4
Cactus. Previous spy shots also gave us a peek at the interior, which appears
inspired by the latest Peugeot 2008.
The Citroën C4 Aircross is expected to
have its official unveiling this autumn.
