"The 2021 Citro�n C4 Hatchback 1.2 PureTech 130bhp Auto in Shine specification is a bold statement in design and comfort, offering a unique alternative in the increasingly competitive hatchback segment. With its coupe-SUV inspired silhouette, this C4 stands out from the crowd, blending curvaceous lines with sharp details that give it a modern, almost futuristic appeal. Under the bonnet is the award-winning 1.2-liter PureTech petrol engine, pushing out a healthy 130bhp, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. This combination ensures smooth and responsive performance, particularly suited to city driving while maintaining composure on longer journeys. Inside, the Shine trim delivers an impressively premium feel. Citro�n's emphasis on comfort is immediately evident with their Advanced Comfort seats, which provide a plush, supportive ride, ideal for long commutes. The cabin itself is spacious and filled with tech, including a 10-inch touchscreen, head-up display, and wireless smartphone charging. Connectivity is seamless with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard, while a suite of driver assistance systems, like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, ensures stress-free driving. On the road, the C4 focuses more on comfort than sharp handling. The ride is beautifully cushioned, thanks to Citro�n's Progressive Hydraulic Cushion suspension, which absorbs bumps and road imperfections with ease, providing a serene driving experience. The 130bhp engine delivers more than enough power for most situations, with a 0-62 mph time of just under 9 seconds, but it's the relaxed, effortless nature of this drivetrain that will appeal most to buyers. In terms of efficiency, the C4 is capable of returning over 50mpg on combined cycles, making it as economical as it is distinctive. The 2021 Citro�n C4 Hatchback in Shine specification is a stylish, comfort-oriented choice for those looking for something a little different in the hatchback world."
