Citroen C4 review

It's all pretty useable in here. For a start you've lots of space, front and back, and a boot that's generous fore-aft if not that deep. Bins and storage are manifold and usefully arranged.

Having been among the first to migrate climate controls onto the touchscreen, Citroen has now seen reason. Welcome, ladiesandgentlemen, back to the stage a row of actual knobs and buttons.

The driver's screen hovers slightly away from the dash structure, with ambient LED light bleeding round its sides. The digi-display itself is pretty low key, but you can scroll through and extract the info you want. Anyway, nearly all trim levels get a flap-type HUD.

The main touch screen is more generous in size, and comes with a couple of shortcut buttons to take you to the car-related settings, and back to the homescreen.

In front of the passenger is a slim drawer that opens to reveal a pop-up frame for mounting a tablet so they can watch their own entertainment. We're assured the passenger airbag pops up and over, rather than smashing the iPad straight into their face.
