Citroën C4 Hatchback 1.6 e-HDi 110 EGS Exclusive 5dr Review

For This is the most economical model in the range, averaging 67mpg. Exclusive trim is as lavish as C4s get, with part-leather trim, climate control, and automatic lights and wipers.

Against The EGS semi-automatic gearbox can take some getting used to, while the high costs of this model may mean a cheaper model makes more sense in the long run.

The economy is appealing, but make sure the sums add up - and that you can live with the EGS gearbox - before you sign up.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

This latest Citroen C4 is actually a comprehensive rework of the previous one. It is based on the same platform, for instance, and there's no increase in wheelbase, so it continues to be merely average for rear legroom, although it is taller and wider, so there's a bit more rear headroom and access is easier.

The three-door model, or coupe as Citroen called it, has been dropped. However, there are some innovative and unique-to-the-class safety and information technologies on offer, and the emphasis is very much on comfort in the way the C4 drives – although that means it probably won't win over any enthusiast drivers.

The engine range has been expanded, though, and there's a version called e-HDi with CO2 emissions of 109g/km that might entice business users. This will fall to 99g/km in 2012.

Even so, the Citroen C4 is quite pricey alongside other compact hatches, so Citroen will need to work hard to improve the previously woeful resale values.
