Where is the petrol gauge in a 2025 Citroen C4?

Hi Neil,
It's on the digital instrument display on the bottom corner. Take a look at this image of the Citroen C4's dashboard and you'll see it.
Any cars with USB and cameras in the rear-view mirror?
Thanks for your great advice.
May I enquire if any car manufacturers have considered a most desirable feature, fitting a USB port at the rear-view mirror location? Also using built in camera at the mirror location as a 'dashcam'?

Thanks for the kind words, Parick.
Actually, Skoda already offers an optional USB port in the rear-view mirrors of some of its models.
A few brands have a camera system integrated as well, with footage that can be used afterwards. Tesla is particularly strong on this, but Mercedes, BMW and MINI also have the functionality available, while the previous-generation Citroen C3 also came with something similar.

How different will the Bigster feel to my old Citroen?
I am presently driving a 2011 Citroen C4 Picasso seven-seater. What obvious difference will I experience/notice driving the Dacia Bigster Expression 1.2 140? E.g steering, road handling, suspension and noise.
Thank you

Expert answer
Hi Stephen,
To be honest, there'll be a huge gulf between the cars because they're 14 years apart. Your Citroen's suspension and bushings etc will be quite worn, no matter how much work it has had done, while the Dacia will feel tight, rattle-free and sharp to drive (in a good way). The Bigster will have far superior road holding where the Citroen feels 'loose', though the latter could mean more comfort in some circumstances.
The Bigster's steering will feel more responsive, as will the brakes and the engine. The Bigster should have superior wind and road noise suppression and with brand-new tyres it should be better in wet weather as well.
Finally, the Bigster has all the latest driver assistance technology that is vastly superior to that of your Citroen, in theory making it a safer car.
Skoda Kodiaq or Toyota RAV4 for reliability?
Hi,
Currently driving a 212 Citroen C5 Aircross and looking to change to a 2023 or 2024 car. Have narrowed the search to the Toyota RAV4 or Skoda Kodiaq. Long term reliability over the next five years is important.
Which would you recommend please?
Niamh Neville (Dublin)Jun 2025 Filed under: reliability
Expert answer
Hi Niamh,
We'd never consider those cars to be rivals as the Kodiaq is so much larger inside, but if that's your shortlist, we can work with that.
The Kodiaq is a lovely car, but the RAV4 has the edge in terms of reliability. The Skoda isn't inherently unreliable, but Toyota has an exceptional reputation in that regard.
Nonetheless, I highly recommend you go and test drive both cars for as long as possible, as they drive in a hugely different manner. No point a car lasting forever if you don't actually like how it drives.
Do let us know how you get on.

Price of the new Citroen e-C4 without grants?
What is the Irish price for the new (2025) electric Citroen C4 Max when all grants are taken away?
Pat (Maynooth)Mar 2025 Filed under: electric cars
Expert answer
Hi Pat,
The price after incentives is €32,987 and the applied incentives include the full €3,500 SEAI grant and a VRT rebate. Adding back on the SEAI grant the price becomes €36,487, which is the price after the VRT rebate has been applied.
VRT is seven per cent of the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP). Working back from €36,487, therefore, the OMSP in this case would be €39,233.33, i.e. the price of the 2025 e-C4 Max with no grants.
