Citroen’s new C4 range is due to enjoy its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in September, prior to its arrival in the UK at the end of the year. As these official pictures show, the model will be available in two forms: as a radical three-door coupe with a glass tailgate and as a more conservative five-door hatchback.

“From the point of view of our dealers this is a positive step with the C4 in that we have two very different body styles that will go on sale,” says a Citroen spokes-man. “We’re confident that a car that looks this great will obviously attract many more people into the showrooms.”
