Enjoy the ‘flying carpet’ effect with Citroën’s award-winning C4, on view at the PTSB Ideal Home Show

The Citroën ë-C4 is a worthy heir to the brand’s heritage and expertise. The award-winning hatchback stands out for its unique on-board experience, featuring a spacious and welcoming interior that includes Citroën’s Advanced Comfort Seats with 15mm of extra memory foam. The ride quality of the ë-C4 is compared to a ‘flying carpet’ effect, thanks to Citroën’s patented Progressive Hydraulic Cushion Suspension which smooths out bumps and dips in the road, offering the ultimate comfort experience.

There is plenty of boot space on offer with 380 litres and a split floor with charging cables stored beneath. True to the brand’s innovation, the Citroën Smart Pad Support™ allows passengers to mount the tablet of their choice to securely to the dashboard for long road trips.

There is plenty of choice when it comes to drivetrain, with petrol, diesel or electric available. The electric version offers 357km of range (WLTP) and can charge from 0-80% in just 30 minutes at a 100kW charger or 6 hours on a home charger. A 100kW motor delivers 136hp while the vehicle is equipped with 3 drive modes – Eco, Normal and Sport.
