Evolution in electric vehicle design has reached new heights with Citroen’s latest offering to the market. The E-C4 X distinguishes itself with an elegant four-door fastback silhouette that transcends the traditional hatchback format, creating a niche position in the electric saloon segment. Gold Satin detailing and Silver Chrome Satin skidplates elevate its exterior presence, while the aerodynamic profile serves both aesthetic and efficiency purposes.
Stepping inside reveals Citroen’s commitment to premium comfort without premium pricing. The deluxe leather steering wheel and Black/Light Grey TEP seating create an ambiance more commonly found in luxury segments. I’ve found the electrochrome interior mirror particularly effective during night driving—a thoughtful touch often reserved for upmarket vehicles.
Premium comfort meets accessible pricing, with luxurious touches that transform everyday driving into a first-class experience.
The 3D connected navigation system delivers real-time traffic updates, complemented by convenient USB connectivity for all passengers.
Powertrain options showcase Citroen’s practical approach to electrification. The choice between 136hp/50kWh and 156hp/54kWh configurations means buyers can prioritize either value or range. DC fast charging at 100kW allows a 20-80% charge in approximately 25 minutes—competitive in this class. The 54kWh version’s 263-mile range exceeds many rivals, making the E-C4 X viable for anxious range-conscious consumers. While its official highway range of 265km is respectable, real-world testing in cold weather yields a significantly reduced highway range of 205km, which aligns with industry findings that cold temperatures can reduce EV range by 10-24% due to battery chemistry limitations. Recent price cuts of up to £5,600 have made this electric fastback even more accessible to budget-conscious buyers.
The Citroën Advanced Comfort® suspension represents perhaps the most compelling feature for everyday use. This system delivers exceptional ride quality over deteriorated surfaces, while enhanced sound insulation creates a serene cabin environment. The semi-autonomous driving capabilities, including adaptive cruise with Stop & Go functionality, reduce driver fatigue on longer journeys.
Priced from £31,505, the E-C4 X delivers extensive specification levels that challenge more expensive options. The MAX trim, particularly, brings luxury touches without the corresponding price tag.
With its combination of fastback styling, 93mph top speed, and thoughtful interior appointments, Citroen has created an EV that balances everyday practicality with genuine comfort and subtle elegance—potentially redefining expectations in its segment.
