Buying Tips for the Citroën C4 (Third Gen)

  • On petrol models, verify the use of the correct 0W-30 or 0W-20 oil and check the timing belt condition through the filler cap.
  • Ensure all software recalls (especially for the ë-C4 battery management) have been completed.
  • Test the infotainment responsiveness; 2023+ models with "My Citroën Drive Plus" are significantly more stable.
