If you value relaxed comfort, clever practicality and a car with personality rather than pretence, the C4 is a charming, sensible choice — and it won't make you miss the usual hot‑hatch theatrics.

As a hydrogen-powered cruiser it delivers genuinely clean driving and a practical, slightly exotic alternative for buyers who want something clever without the fuss.
