Edit - snap, 12 seconds too slow
No hate, you do you. But have you thought that through?
There is a plug in hybrid for the C5X for a leisurely $80k if that's your thing.
So, how many EV's do you have ?
Look at you saving the world. Well thinking you are anyway.
Yep, a car at those prices and having to put petrol in every week, doesn't stack up. People are weird.
Just remove the engine, and sell it. Reduces the cost and there you go….
Fred Flintstone, is that you ?
Take my angry upvote.
I understand where you're coming from, but we also have a nearly 2 tonne 2024 Santa Fe running off a 1.6T petrol (and an extra 48kw electric motor, but still…)
Sign of the times… Cars designed to be waste after 200k+ kms
Touch grass dude. Cars have been economical write offs after 200kk or about 15-20 years since ever.
It's a great engine! And Peugeot/Citroen are very lightweight cars. I have this engine in my 308 and it is not lacking in power at all. Good fuel economy too. Gets down as low as 5L/100km on the highway and around town about 7.5-8L/100km.
This Stellantis trash isn't a Citroën. No hydraulic suspension. Awful waste of space SUV. No diesel economy and power. Not made in France or even Spain, to mention where only brings hate from the bootleggers. Sad times.
The Citroen C4 is only made in Madrid, Spain as far as I can see
What? They still have MY22 stock?
"On selected MY22 Citroen CX5 models in stock"
Not unusual for Peugeot/Renault/Citroen in AU
If no one buys then I guess the price is wrong. No surprise here. And is it really a bargain or just indicative that the price was too high for what it offered. (These are 2022/3 models being cleared)
From Cars Guide
Anyone who read my piece on the worst-performing individual models will not be shocked to see Citroen 'top' this list. The French brand has a small range in Australia, just four models - C3, C4, C5 Aircross and C5 X - and none managed to sell more than 69 examples in 2023.
The Stellantis amalgamation has ruined everything they touch. They even managed to kill off Jeep in America. They're a lost cause, too many mindless heads internally fighting to do nothing.
69 examples
Definite USP…
@nubzy - this is your moment to shine.
Omg more petrol cars heavily discounted. The end of them is here.
Umm nope. This is just a crap car that no one wants and they have stock they want to hey rid of. Not many people want EVs. Good luck losing thousands on yours when you sell it. Resale value on EVs is terrible.
Toyota petrol cars and utes have increased in price year on year because people want them.
Has nothing to do with EVs sorry.
I so wish you were right, still looking for a cheap second hand EV for my partner. Nothing to be found unfortunately.
I want one of these non existent dirt cheap EVs too
Dream on.
I've nothing against electric but reality is going to crash head on with expectation in the not too distant future.
the c6 was about $25,000 in Chinese last year
Mandarin or Cantonese?
That C5X is nice. Good for that price
I sat in one and it is a lovely car. Very comfortable and would be great for travelling long distance. Just a shame it is made in China. Wouldn't mind picking up a used one in the future though.
Friends don't let friends buy Citreons
Aww c'mon. What could possibly go wrong with a French car made by Stellantis that features the engine BMW uses in the new Mini's?
Do not buy a Citroen.
Citron *
Citron is a citrus fruit that resembles a lumpy lemon. Unlike lemons and oranges, however, citron is used primarily for its zest, since its pulp is dry and contains little juice.
In other words, it's a lemon without juice, but you get the scent.
I would buy a BYD for better quality.
I will 'LOL' at this comment so others do not feel the need to reply to this.
Sweet, I will add LY, so we gett BYD Seagull, sweet as Lolly - best value car when it comes to Australia ;)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sad that Aus has become the dumping ground for ice cars. We're still decades behind in our combined mentality regarding them thanks to 10 years of the Libs/Murdoch appeasing their fossil fuel mates and holding us back with constant anti green and ev rehtoric.
What are smoking? Can i have some?
City folk.
Driving from Perth to Broome in an EV in 2 days - discuss.
Done that much?
If yes, then EVs aren't for you. Cool. 🤣
And half of the population, aka those who live in the real Australia that doesn't include Sydney and Melbourne.
Cool
All the whilst they keep on signing into those Paris / Kyoto accords that we cannot achieve.
Like we have that much influence lol, we are a tiny market. Citroen sold 228 TOTAL cars in 2023 and no more than 69 C4's lol. That isn't even worth the effort, they will probably just leave the country soon and write it off.

USA/EU putting heavy tariffs on Chinese EVs might mean we get Chinese EVs dumped here and real competition and affordable prices. I dont want my taxes going to subsidize companies that are ripping people off, like when they put extra $15k towards home owner grant and houses go up by $15k, it is just funneling money to private companies that we have no real control over anyways with out policy.
Euro depreciation has entered the chat.
Just looking at them the chinese cars are
Better designed
Better equipped
Worst case scenario same reliability (euro reliability is woefully low)
20-30% cheaper
Apart from the ChINa bad crowd why would anyone by a Citroën.
US is putting tariffs on Chinese brands for pricing too many cars under $30,000. The pricing is just too low. Australia will pretty soon follow with those tariffs like we follow with everything else. So pretty soon you'll probably have to buy these Euros.
I'm actually surprised that the US and Aus havent put sanctions on BYD for "national security" reasons.
Yep
Luckily we dont have a car industry to protect anymore so the lobbyists are MIA. But 100% if we did still have an industry they'd ruin the party immediately.
As it is we're getting shafted on chinesemobiles.
American companies cannot compete so they are raising taxes on Chinese cars. Poor people cannot have nice things. We have no manufacturing here, we DON'T need to add tariffs or tax the Chinese cars more. If it weren't for Chinese cars incoming, we would have reached a point when $50k would buy you a cloth seat Corolla. 2023 is still fresh in my mind when people were listing 3 year old Toyota Camry Hybrids with 100,000km for $60k.
Why would anyone want a GW4C20 when they decide to make the weak point of the entire design the most expensive part
EVs has no resale value
A decade old turd on wheels with the Captiva badge has resale value, I'm sure a very new EV has resale value.
Proof?
Please tell me where i can pick up a tesla for free?
Let me know champ, ready to pick up another one after saving 3k not paying petrol last year.
Show me any cheap second hand one (other than a Nissan Lead with almost zero remaining range), please. I'm in the market for one for my partner…
I shudder at the thought of buying a French car…
Hmm I don’t see any details of the offer on the C4, is there a direct link on this?
yeha the whole layout of their website sucks
to get a pdf spec sheet you need to submit your email lol
i had to surf redbook to work out what they are selling
the C4 is an fwd subcompact like a CHR - also with a crummy 1.2 turbo three = how they ever expected to sell this shit for $47k boggles my mind
the C5X is a quasi lux full size compact fwd SUV with a turbo 1.6 - ok i guess but what a risk for $45k let alone almost $65k!!!
who is buying this shit?
full on well 'regarded' transport
Got 2 Citroen before. Moved to Kia this year. The French design is always interesting and exciting. Then the reliability of the car is just not there… The sensors are sensitive, parts are expensive, sometime have to wait for months to get it from France. My relationship with French car is not gonna happen anytime soon.
How low can you go… how low can you go….
