Separated at birth

Fancy Citroën’s new C4 or Vauxhall’s new Mokka?

MY EYES!

Citroën C4

New C4 attempts to merge family hatch and crossover. There are bits of CXperience concept in there but the Cactus’s Airbumps have vanished. The overwrought rear end is meant to be assertive and muscular – looks Pontiac Aztek.

Vauxhall Mokka

Outgoing Mokka was duller than watching paint dry. New car is the first production model with the Vizor face, and Vauxhall’s recent fascination with two-tone colours means brave options like this Manta-inspired combo.

REVOLUTIONARY?

Citroën C4

Notably less funky than the C3 inside, but Citroën’s squircle steering wheel remains and fresh digital instruments debut. PSA also sacked the person who used to put the air-con controls onto a laggy touchscreen. Progress.

Vauxhall Mokka

There are bits of Corsa inside, but design boss Mark Adams has spearheaded a minimalistic Pure Panel infotainment design that merges two large screens together, like in a VW Touareg – ‘detox’ is the buzzword.

CLEVER, AT ALL?

Citroën C4

Suite of Advanced Comfort kit includes super-squidgy seats and Progressive Hydraulic Cushion suspension. A new ‘smart pad support’ system means your front passenger can fix a tablet to the dashboard.

Vauxhall Mokka

CMP platform shared with the C4 means shorter overhangs and a handy 120kg weight loss compared to the old Mokka. IntelliLux matrix LED headlights and Level 2-anda-bit driving assistance tech are available, too.
