The successor to the Xsara is best know as the unbeaten World Rally Championship mount for fantastically fast Frenchman Sebastian Loeb, although most C4 deliveries in Australia are nothing like his $1.2 million hand-built turbo coupe.
Now the C4 is heading for a complete re-make, although it's hard to see anything at all in these Carparazzi scoop pictures from rural France. The bodywork is completely covered in black-plastic drapery to disguise any sign of the C4's shape, even though it is expected to be an evolution of the current chic look.
The headlamps, at least, are partly visible and so is the general look. The car will continue as a four or five-door hatch, but there is a surprise in the C4's future ...Just like the latest development of the baby C3, the funky DS model, there will be a design driven DS4 sidekick for the regular C4.
The DS4 is likely to be shown as early as the Geneva Motor Show in March, giving enough space before the official preview of the C4 on the Citroen stand at the Paris auto show in September ahead of sales in 2011. Then again, Citroen could easily delay the DS4 so it does not take too much attention away from the C4.
Apart from the bodywork, Carparazzi in Europe reports the upcoming C4 could be fitted with the diesel-electric hybrid power pack which is expected to be fitted to the company's leading-edge RCZ performance coupe.
