The new C4 is fitted with Michelin Energy™ Saver tyres that have been conceived to help achieve these low emissions and to boost fuel economy. Finally The use of 15% ‘green’ materials, for example, re-cycled polyamide components, is another characteristic that makes the new C4 a green-friendly car.

The new C4 will be featuring unique technologies in its segment, including a new blind-spot monitoring system, a cornering light function, cruise control and speed-limiter with road speed memory settings, and an innovative new service called eTouch.

Besides offering on-board emergency assistance the system also allows drivers to check the vehicle’s technical status and monitor any necessary maintenance or servicing requirements.
