The replacement of the Citroën C-Elysée will be a reality in 2022. A new model that will become part of the C4 range. The future Citroën C4 L will be manufactured in Spain and will have as its main destination those markets where compact sedans continue to have a significant demand.
Citroën has very ambitious plans for the new C4 range. The Citroën C4 is reaping really good sales figures. Such is the demand that the production of the renewed French compact, including its 100% electric variant, will be increased to meet the growing number of orders. Now, the brand is determined to go one step further and expand the family with a new member. A model that is called to be the replacement for the Citroën C-Elysée.
In certain European markets the C-Elysée passed with more pain than glory. However, there are still places where compact sedans are widely accepted. For this reason, and although the commercial name C-Elysée will not have continuity, Citroën will launch a substitute for this model on the market. The new Citroën C4 L will assault the dealerships to take the witness of the C-Elysée.
The four-door variant of the Citroën C4 will be a reality
Especially in southern European countries as well as in Turkey and the Maghreb area, models like the C-Elysée bring together a significant amount of sales. This is where the four-door body variant of the C4. A project that is known internally with the C43 code and that is currently underway if we take as a reference the latest reports that have seen the light in neighboring France.
Citroën has taken as a starting point the C4 that we can currently find in dealerships to carry out the development process of the new C4 L. Although no test specimen has been sighted, development is underway due to the proximity of its coming-out. Will be supported by the CMP platform and will be marketed with a selection of gasoline engines.
A 100% electric version cannot be ruled out. The reason? The commercial future of the C4 L will also largely depend on China. There the C-Elysée has been an important model in the Citroën range and has even had an electric version developed together with local Stellantis partners.
The new Citroën C4 L will be manufactured in Spain
Another great news for the Spanish automotive industry is that this new model will be manufactured in our territory. The production process of the C-Elysée has taken place at the Stellantis facilities in Vigo. The new C4 L will also bear the “Made in Spain” stamp.. However, production will move to Madrid, where the C4 and ë-C4 are currently manufactured.
When will it be revealed? The launch of the new C4 L is scheduled for sometime next year. It will go into production from October 2022.
