Citroën ë-C4

Model reviewed: 54 kWh battery
Score: 8 / 10
“The 54kWh battery, improved electric motor and standard-fit heat pump make the updated Citroën ë-C4 worth considering over the original version. Those after increased range, and greater consistency in its delivery all the year round, will be better served than those wanting punchier performance. But the gains should still be sufficient to keep the e-C4 in the mix for those after a compact family EV.”

“The e-C4 is an excellent first attempt at an all-electric family car from Citroen, with a genuinely usable range and solid recharging capability.”

“In terms of interestingness, the Citroën ë-C4 is probably halfway between the Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen ID.3 in terms of both looking at and sitting in it. And with a 50kWh battery, it should go further between charges than their base variants, but it’s not quite as nice to drive as either.”

“The Citroen e-C4 is a lot of car for the money and if your commute is not too long and charger access is good, the company car tax benefits and driving experience are tangible differentiators.”

“The C4 is a pleasant and certainly comfortable drive. The comfort factor goes doubly for the electric Citroen e-C4 version, which adds a peaceful silence and smooth running to the mix. It’s also a more engaging drive and – thanks to its frictionless acceleration – a fraction faster out of the blocks.”

“The Citroën ë-C4 has its own individuality with handsome – and very French – styling and design. I loved the interior with most things being controlled by an innovative touch screen. The ride was incredibly smooth from a well-positioned driver seat, minimum road noise and an all-round feeling of safeness.”

“Is the ë-C4 a worthy heir to the line of daring compact Citroën cars from the past which made their mark through comfort and character? We think so. It’s Citroën to its core in terms of design, innovation and comfort, yet manages to also find a balance between affordability and versatility.”

“There’s a lot to like about the Citroën e-C4. Comfortable, easy to live and nicely made, it does all the boring things very well. But where the e-C4 really stands out is its design and attention to detail. This feels like a car that a team of designers and engineers genuinely enjoyed putting together.”

“When it comes to performance, the Citroën e-C4 certainly lives up to the hype. It starts in absolute silence, and the pull-away power is instant and impressive. A Brake feature that increases the energy regenerated through braking means single-pedal driving is possible in stop/start city driving.”

“It’s not the most exciting car to drive, but the supremely comfortable and stylish Citroën ë-C4 is well suited to its role as an EV. If you want to reduce stress levels on the move, then the refined and relaxing Citroen is just the ticket. It’s also lavishly equipped and competitively priced.” (James Disdale)

“The Citroën ë-C4 has far superior ride quality and performance to the petrol C4. It comes with a hefty price premium, which would take a chunk of time to recoup in fuel savings, but it’s still one of the more affordable pure-electric cars with a range of more than 200 miles per charge.”

“While the Citroen C4 is a likeable, modern and well-rounded EV, we would still be looking to the 64kWh Kia e-Niro as the best family EV on the market right now.”

“If you fancy a stylish-looking coupé SUV and want the clean conscience and emissions of an electric car, then the Citroën e-C4 is a good option. A Volkswagen ID.3 is faster, handles better, and has a much longer battery range, though.”

“The Citroen e-C4 may have a drivetrain familiar from other cars from the same group but gets a bit more range out of it and delivers this in an original, more refined package. The equipment is generous across the board, and the premium trims add worthwhile extras for the money. Although the VW ID.3 beats the e-C4 for range and performance for a bit less money, once you start adding feature packs the Citroen starts looking like decent value, and the design is attractive too.” (James Morris)
