This little red pretty-face is
the Citroen C4 Aircross, a compact crossover for the Chinese car market. It
will have its public debut later this month on the 2018 Beijing Auto Show and
hit the dealers in H2. The C4 Aircross is based on the Euro-spec C3 Aircross,
but it is 12 centimeter longer and has 6 centimeter more wheelbase. The extra
space goes to the passengers in the back and to the boot.
It is made in China by the Dongfeng-PSA joint
venture. It will be positioned between the Citroen C3-XR and the Citroen C5
Aircross. The C4 Aircross will be available with two four-cylinder petrol
engines; a 1.2 turbo with 136 hp and a 1.6 turbo with 167 hp. Both engines will
be mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. There are no NEV
versions planned. Size is 4270/1770/1615 mm, and wheelbase is 2655 mm.
Buyers can choose colors of
the edge around the ‘cushions’ on the doors, of the roof and roof rack,
of the edge around the headlights, and of the top of the mirrors.

looking air vents, and a screen that seems to be fitted on as an afterthought.
It will also have a HUD.
