The Citroen C4 first appeared in 2004 as an affordable hatchback model. Since its introduction, Citroen has released three generations and several facelifts, along with C4-inspired models, such as the C4 Cactus, C4 Picasso and C4 SpaceTourer. Each new generation and update has brought more efficient engines, refreshed styling and a new look, with the C4 gradually turning from a standard hatchback model into a crossover.

Second Generation (2011 to 2019)
The second-generation C4 was unveiled in 2010, sharing a platform with the Peugeot 307. This compact hatchback model had a more conservative design than the original, showcasing a rounded shape. Its front grille featured the double-chevron Citroen logo, and it was extended out to the sides complete with chrome lines. The headlight design was more angular, while the turn signals were situated slightly lower.
The new designs continued in the cabin with a new conventional instrument cluster and some upgraded kit options. Citroen also expanded the powertrain selection, giving drivers more choices.
