In the current A+ class car segment, almost all of them are the world of Japanese and German cars, but once upon a time, French cars also occupied their own acres and three points in this field, and the more representative models are Citroën C4L and Peugeot 408, etc., but later for various reasons, French cars were fully cold in China. But just recently, we got the news of the new C4L from foreign media, following the "Versailles" C5X, Citroen, a French car company, is about to release a new car. According to foreign media reports, Citroën officially announced that the car is the successor of C-Elysée (Elysée), and the new car is scheduled to be officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2022.
In terms of appearance, the new C4L adopts a design style similar to that of versailles C5X, and the overall use of sedan + crossover elements. However, probably because of the body size, the new C4L does look like it lacks some sense of coordination. Front face part, the new car uses a split headlight design, this design is also Citroën's favorite use in recent years, many new cars can be seen, the future may be the front face of this design will become a Citroën family face.
On the side of the body, the new car is more like a car with a raised chassis, but the author personally believes that in terms of visual effects, it is indeed difficult to accept this design. The rear is expected to be the same as the current model and will not change much.

The interior part, referring to the Versailles C5X, is expected that the new car will also use a full LCD digital instrument and a 10-inch suspension central control screen, and equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, the overall visual effect is still more in line with the current trend.

In the power part, according to foreign media reports, the new C4L is expected to be equipped with a 1.2T three-cylinder turbo engine and a 1.5L diesel engine, and the transmission system is expected to match the AT transmission and manual transmission.
Write at the end:
From the perspective of Citroen's strategic layout in recent years, it is very likely that new cars will enter the country to supplement their product sequences, but from the perspective of product strength, whether the new car can gain a foothold in the domestic automotive market, there must be a big question mark here.
