Car review
Citroën C4
The Citroën C4 range comprises three diesel and three petrol engines, plus three trim levels

It's an admirable family hatchback, but there is an abundance of superior rivals that makes the C4 feel a little outclassed

Back to top

Other tech includes hands-free tailgate operation and a number of safety systems including speed limit recognition, adaptive cruise control and active lane departure warning.

Top-spec Flair models get half leather interior trim as standard or optional full Nappa leather.

Two new engines have been added to the range. A 1.2 PureTech 110 S&S petrol with a six-speed manual gearbox, already seen on the C4 Cactus, is available on the C4 Picasso, while the option of a 1.2 PureTech 130 S&S, with a six-speed automatic gearbox, has been added to both models.

Distance controls

Deputy, I think most Autocar readers are interested in new technology and willing to give it a try. Why else would they be looking at Autocar? But I do also think there are those who willing to wind a contributor up given half a chance.
I would agree that the Citroen system does seem rather compromised and not worthy of being called adaptive. It appears to be little more than standard cruise control with a distance warning. Something my cars have had for many years. They have all made a squawking sound whenever I get too close to the car in front. Although, oddly it only seems to operate when the wife is in the passenger seat!

I think a similar one is on my pillion seat - often breaks a rib or two by gripping me if lean angles get too high!

Automatic braking

Hi Deputy, I'll add to the discussion by saying the autonomous braking on my car is handy (it will slow the car to a halt), but for smoothness the driver's anticipation, judgement, and right foot is still king. My passengers can tell the difference too, so they appreciate the good qualities of humanoid control it seems. Could vary from car to car/make to make, of course.

I'm shocked!

I'd hoped the readers of Autocar would be more willing to try new technology! I love driving on twisty B roads (I also have a superbike) but on a motorway, just let the car do the boring stuff using adaptive cruise and steer (try a new Tesla!). If we didn't try new tech, we'd all still be living in caves!

Youre judging all Autocar

Youre judging all Autocar readers on just 3 replies ? ! I have tried a Tesla with autonomous driving, well form the passenger seat at least. As I said, not knocking new tech, but you really should be able to brake yourself, at least for the next min 10 years until full autonomous arrives.

.

What you're really looking for is the state of the art new tech with autonomous braking, accelerating and cornering. It's called a bus.
