About the car: Citroen C4, second generation (2010-2018)

The second-generation Citroen C4 (2010-2018) is built on the PSA PF2 platform and was available as a 5-door hatchback. The model received a facelift in 2015, and the hatchback was produced until early 2018.

On the tailgate of the car in the photo, the Menabo Mistral rack is secured with straps. The rack fits on the tailgate or boot lid of the car, so for this type of accessory the tailgate of the hatchback is the fixing point. The rubber contact surfaces help protect the bodywork, according to the product sheet.
