CITROEN E-C4 2022 REVIEW: MAXIMUM COMFORT

EV Channels Review

The Citroen e-C4 Shine Plus (2022) is presented as a comfortable and practical electric family hatchback. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, generous boot capacity, and a high level of standard specification, including a heads-up display, dual-zone climate control, and a wireless phone charger. The unique "Citroen Advanced Comfort" suspension with "hydro cushions" is praised for delivering a superior ride quality compared to its Stellantis siblings, effectively smoothing out road imperfections. While the acceleration is described as adequate rather than thrilling (0-60 in 14 seconds), the reviewer notes good real-world efficiency, achieving around 4.6 miles per kWh, translating to over 200 miles of range, with a claimed 204 miles and a realistic 180 miles on the motorway. Criticisms include a small driver's display, a distracting split rear window, and a less practical middle rear seat due to the transmission tunnel. Charging speeds are decent, with up to 100kW rapid charging expected, and a 50kW charger taking around 45 minutes for a 20-80% charge. Overall, the e-C4 is recommended for its comfort, value, and comprehensive features.
