New 48V Hybrid technology on C4 and C4 X
Simple and smooth in its operation, without the need for
recharging, the new compact and lightweight 48V Hybrid technology on C4 and C4
X models offers comfort and versatility while reducing its emissions and
consumption by nearly 20% compared to an equivalent petrol version. Capable of
completing up to 50% of urban journeys in electric mode, emission-free, it presents
all the benefits of electric driving, from ease of use to the ability to drive
in low-emission zones.
Drive electric in the city: the C4 and C4 X Hybrid
136 can drive in electric mode in urban areas, on gentle roads, or during
manoeuvres. In urban areas, this hybrid version can complete up to 50% of
journeys entirely electrically, emission-free, and vibration-free.
Reduced fuel consumption: The hybrid 48V technology
optimizes the performance and fuel consumption of the C4 and C4 X, enabling an
average fuel economy of 1 liter/100 km (20%) compared to the PureTech 130 EAT8
petrol engine. The powertrain has very interesting efficiency in urban driving
conditions with an average fuel economy saving reaching almost 30%.
Reduced CO2 emissions: It also has a positive impact
on CO2 emissions, which are reduced by up to -20% (more than 25g) compared to
the PureTech 130 S&S EAT8 petrol engine.
Simplicity and pleasure: The hybrid driving of this
new version on the C4 and C4 X provides great ease of use with its two engines,
electric and thermal, which work together or separately, automatically,
smoothly, and without driver intervention. And in case of strong acceleration,
the electric motor delivers additional power, ensuring permanent ease of use by
guaranteeing dynamic performance.
With a battery that recharges automatically when the car
decelerates, this new powertrain enhances everyday ease of use and will appeal
to customers who want to access electric driving while bypassing the constraint
of recharging.
