CITROËN Ë-C4 - IS THIS THE MOST COMFORTABLE EV ON SALE?

EV Channels Review

The revised Citroën ë-C4 is presented as a comfortable and stylish family hatchback, building on its predecessor's strengths. The reviewer highlights the successful facelift, particularly the updated styling and integration of design cues from the Ollie concept. Comfort is emphasized as the car's primary selling point, thanks to Citroën's 'Advanced Comfort' program, featuring unique suspension with hydraulic cushions and exceptionally supportive seats. The interior is praised for its distinct Citroën feel, good storage solutions, and a user-friendly 10-inch infotainment system with physical climate controls. Practicality is noted with 380L of boot space and a 60/40 split rear seat. However, the review points out persistent drawbacks: vague steering and a spongy, difficult-to-modulate brake pedal, characteristic of Stellantis vehicles. Performance is described as average, with the 156hp motor in the Max trim offering a 9-second 0-60mph time, which the reviewer feels could be slightly quicker. The battery, even the 'extended range' 54 kWh unit, is questioned for its size in the current market, though it offers a claimed 257-mile WLTP range. Despite these criticisms, the ë-C4 is lauded for its comfort, value for money, and unique character, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing a comfortable family car over outright performance or sharp dynamics.
