FIVE STAR RATING FOR NEW CITROEN C4
Citroën’s new C4 has been awarded the maximum five star safety rating by independent safety assessors Euro NCAP, including a score of 97% in the ‘Safety assist’ category - the highest score for any vehicle of its type.
Euro NCAP’s findings confirm that the new Citroën C4 will meet the needs of the most safety-conscious drivers when it goes on sale mid-next year.
With a range of driving aids fitted as standard, the new Citroën C4 offers drivers exceptional on-road control.
The new C4’s safety-enhancing technology includes ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), EBA (Emergency Braking Assistance) and ESP (Electronic Stability Programme). In addition, occupants are cocooned in a safe and secure environment, with protection from six airbags across the range (driver, front passenger, front lateral and curtain).
The new C4 also offers innovative new safety features, some of which are unique to the segment. These include a new blind-spot monitoring system that alerts drivers to the presence of vehicles in the car’s blind spots, a cornering light function for improved visibility in bends, cruise control and speed-limiter with five programmable road speed memory settings and the new Citroën eTouch Assistance System, which offers on-board functionality for a swift response to incidents.
The new Citroën C4 builds on the 5-star Euro NCAP credentials of its predecessor, which at launch, was also one of the safest vehicles in its class. Specifications and prices for the new C4 will be announced when it is launched in Australia and New Zealand in mid-2011.
