CITROËN Ë-C4 50KWH: FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Citroën ë-C4 50kWh is reviewed as a comfortable family hatchback, particularly noted for its compliant suspension and plush, albeit firm, seats. The reviewer highlights the abundance of physical buttons as a positive, contrasting with the trend of touchscreen-only controls. Practicality is a mixed bag: while the boot offers a convenient flat entry and cable storage, its overall capacity and usability for larger items are found to be somewhat limited, especially when compared to rivals. Interior quality is a point of contention, with a 'festival of scratchy plastic' noted despite the otherwise pleasant feel. The reviewer also expresses frustration with the default lane-keep assist and the oddly placed rear spoiler that impedes rear visibility. Real-world range is estimated at around 180 miles in mixed driving, with charging to 80% achievable in 30 minutes at 100kW. While comfortable and well-specced, the reviewer ultimately expresses a preference for more punchy EVs and suggests considering alternatives like the Kia Niro for those prioritizing boot space or outright speed.
