Citroen extends C4 line-up

What say you on the issue below?
PARIS: Citroen has unveiled the C4 Aircross crossover.

The 5-seater is said to combine the grip of an off-roader with the ride and driveability of a sedan.

Available in 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive versions, depending on engine, the Citroen C4 Aircross will be launched in the first half of 2012 and will be one of the front-runners in its segment in terms of CO2 emissions.

Engine options are HDi 110 (1.6-litre), HDi 150 (1.8-litre) and 1.6i petrol engine. The 1.6i variant is only available in a 2WD version with a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the other two will come with 2WD and 4WD and a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The C4 Aircross will be offered outside Europe with the 150bhp 2.0-litre 2.0i petrol engine, in 2WD and 4WD versions, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox or continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The four-wheel transmission is a part-time system that can switch between 4WD, 2WD and lock mode, which increases the torque transmitted to the rear wheels for more grip under severe conditions.

The C4 Aircross' compact dimensions (4.34m long, 1.79m wide, 1.63m high) gives it a 10.6m turning circle.

The distinctive styling includes a front end of horizontal lines with aerodynamic vents at the extremities, accentuating the vehicle’s compact appearance.

The contours of the bonnet, visible from the driver’s seat, the wide wheel arches and the reduced overhang all enhance the impression of robustness produced by this silhouette.

The C4 Aircross’ light signature, visible by day and at night, is formed by the LEDs at the front, which are vertically aligned in the aerodynamic vents.

The shape of the large 18-inch wheels and the rear lights, directly inspired by the Hypnos concept car, has been reworked for optimal air flow and reduced CO2 emissions.

The C4 Aircross is an extension of the C4 model, which Citroen has produced over 100,000 examples since it was launched a year ago.
