2009 Citroen C4

Citroen has facelifted its Citroen C4 for the 2009 model year and has added two new engines to the line-up – the Prince engine co-developed by PSA Peugeot Citroen with BMW, also used in Peugeot and BMW MINI cars.

The VTi 120 and THP 150 variants are powered by the normally aspirated and turbocharged variants of the Prince engine respectively. The VTi 120 engine replaces the old 1.6i 16V engine and features variable valve timing as well as intake control without a throttle butterfly. The THP 150 is powered by a 150 horsepower variants of the turbocharged direct injection 1.6 liter Prince engine and replaces the normally aspirated 2.0i 16V engine in the pre-facelift car.

To promote the new C4, Citroen has produced a “facelift” of the Transformers TV commercial that was used to promote the original pre-facelift Citroen C4. This time the robot is dancing to Bee Gee’s Stayin’ Alive.
