Real-world fuel consumption
16,489 Citroen C4 cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 6.6 l/100 km on the road, against 5.6 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 18% more.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 8,520 | 6.6 | 5.6 | +18% |
| Diesel | 7,969 | 5.5 | 4.8 | +15% |

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the petrol Citroen C4 uses 6.6 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 990 litres: €2,217 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.
