The new Citroën ë-C4 X reworks its e-C4 coupé SUV sibling into a saloon with a big boot and a slightly longer range. But should you buy one instead of the normal e-C4? We’ve been finding out -
UK range that’s only available as an electric car. That’s right, no matter how hard you look, you won’t find any PureTech petrol engines here. Instead, every ë-C4 X is powered by a 134bhp motor that’s connected to a 50kWh battery, officially giving it a range of up to 222 miles between charges.
Don’t expect much more than that, though. There really isn’t all that much go when you plant your foot, with acceleration tailing off towards motorway speeds. It certainly doesn’t feel as quick as the MG5 Long Range, which will dispatch 0-62mph in 8.3sec, and it’s a far cry from theArguably more important than straight-line speed is how far it’ll take you between charges. Officially, the 50kW battery will allow you to cover 222 miles, which is a few more than the standard car’s 217 mile range.
The ë-C4 X starts to suffer at higher speeds, though. The relative lack of body control means it doesn't feel quite as planted over undulating roads, and occupants are subjected to more vertical bounce than in stiffer rivals, such as theWhen it comes to handling, the ë-C4 X leaves a lot to be desired and tends to lean fairly dramatically through corners, so there are more composed alternatives if cornering ability is important to you.
Leg room, meanwhile, remains similar to in the standard ë-C4, so there’s more space in the back than in the crampedSo, you might be asking where all of the extra space has gone. That mystery is solved when you look in the boot: following a 130-litre increase, it’s now one of the largest for a car of this type. Indeed, with a total of 510 litres it’s more accommodating than the MG4’s , MG5 estate’s and Niro EV’s .
