The new Citroen C4’s predecessor, the C-Quatre, has represented 30 percent of Dongfeng Citroen’s sales last year.

The new three-box compact sedan measuring 4.55 metres in length, is developed, manufactured and will be sold exclusively in China. Its assembly will be done in the facility belonging to Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroen Automobile Limited (DPCA) in Wuhan, in the Hubei Province of China.
