2 Answers
The Citroen C-Quatre is equipped with either a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine or a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power output of 78 kW at 5,750 rpm and a peak torque of 142 Nm. This vehicle is a 5-seater, 4-door compact sedan under Dongfeng Citroen, with exterior dimensions measuring 4,556 mm in length, 1,773 mm in width, and 1,486 mm in height. It features a wheelbase of 2,610 mm and a trunk capacity of 481 liters. The car comes with MacPherson strut front independent suspension, a deformable crossbeam rear suspension with stabilizer bar, brake assist system, aluminum alloy wheels, and cruise control.
I've driven a Citroen C-Quatre for several years, and its common engine is the 1.6L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, like the TU5JP4 model. It doesn't feel particularly powerful but runs smoothly, which is sufficient for city commuting, though acceleration on the highway is a bit slow. In terms of fuel consumption, I usually get around 8L per 100km, and it burns a bit more fuel when using the AC in summer. This engine is designed to be simple and reliable, with cheap maintenance—an oil change only costs a few hundred yuan. However, you need to watch out for valve issues, as carbon buildup can cause noise. I've heard the newer version has switched to a 1.2L three-cylinder turbocharged engine called the PureTech series, which is more fuel-efficient, offers better power, and makes city driving more agile. Overall, the older engine is durable and cost-effective, but when choosing a car, pay attention to the model year and regional differences to avoid unexpected maintenance.
