2 Answers
Dongfeng Citroen C-Quatre is equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2016 C-Quatre as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4588mm, width 1773mm, height 1486mm, wheelbase 2610mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and curb weight 1390kg. The 2016 C-Quatre has a MacPherson independent front suspension and a solid axle non-independent rear suspension, with a maximum horsepower of 106ps, maximum power of 78kw, and maximum torque of 142nm.
The common engine in the Dongfeng Citroen C-Quatre is a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of approximately 110 horsepower and 142 Nm of torque. Its performance is moderate, making it suitable for urban commuting and daily driving, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. I find its acceleration on city roads not particularly fast but very smooth, with decent fuel consumption control—averaging around 8 liters per 100 km, making it economical and practical. Engine noise is low at low speeds but slightly higher at high speeds, yet overall, the driving experience is relaxed. For frequent long-distance driving, extra attention to the cooling system may be needed, and regular oil changes can extend its lifespan. This engine is simple, reliable, and has low maintenance costs, easily serviced at regular repair shops, making it ideal for average family use.
