Citroën’s new C4, which goes on sale early next year, will be one of the safest cars in its class following a 5-star safety rating by independent assessors.

The C4 has been awarded the maximum safety rating from Euro NCAP, including a score of 97 per cent in the ‘Safety assist’ category – the highest score for any vehicle of its type.

The new C4’s safety-enhancing technology includes ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), EBA (Emergency Braking Assistance) and ESP (Electronic Stability Programme).  In addition, occupants are cocooned in a safe and secure environment, with protection from six airbags across the range (driver, front passenger, front lateral and curtain).

New safety features include a new blind-spot monitoring system that alerts drivers to the presence of vehicles in the car’s blind spots, a cornering light function for improved visibility in bends, cruise control and speed-limiter with five programmable road speed memory settings and the new Citroën eTouch Assistance System, which offers on-board functionality for a swift response to incidents.
