Street Style with a Soft Spot

The Citroën C4 cuts a distinctive profile that sits between a compact SUV and a hatchback, with a raised stance, sculpted wheel arches and playful lighting details that give it real kerb appeal. At roughly 4.35–4.58 m long depending on body style, it feels larger than typical superminis without becoming unwieldy in town. The design leans toward comfort-first aesthetics rather than sporty aggression, which will suit buyers who want presence without shouting. Overall, the C4’s looks are modern and likeable, aimed at families and style-conscious commuters rather than driving enthusiasts.

Cabin Comfort, Not Cockpit Drama

The interior prioritises softness and calm: generous use of padded surfaces, wide seats and a deliberately uncluttered layout make daily life easy and relaxing. Packaging supports five seats with sensible controls and visibility, though the touchscreen setup can feel touch-first compared with physical shortcut keys some drivers prefer. Materials are pleasant and feel durable for the class, with a focus on passenger comfort rather than premium flair. Attention to small storage areas and easy-to-reach features keeps the cabin practical for everyday use.

Luggage and Living Space That Work

Boot volume starts from about 380 litres on some versions and rises to roughly 510 litres in others, with the rear seats folding to create around 1,250–1,360 litres of maximum cargo space — enough for weekend trips or flat-pack furniture. Rear-seat room is adequate for adults on shorter journeys, while payloads close to 400 kg mean the car can cope with a full load of passengers and luggage. Small touches like a low load lip and useful cubbies add up to a genuinely practical package for families. Taller items and longer loads are handled more easily in the C4 X liftback variants without sacrificing rear passenger comfort.

Relaxed Ride, Predictable Handling

Steering and chassis tuning favour composure: the C4 is comfortable over rough surfaces and absorbs urban imperfections with little fuss, reflecting Citroën’s comfort-first DNA. Performance varies by powertrain — the petrol PureTech around 131 hp will do 0–100 km/h in roughly 10–10.5 seconds, while the stronger electric 156 hp variants cut that to about 8 seconds — but all versions prioritise smooth delivery over sharp responses. Electric models add weight (curb weights around 1,636–1,659 kg versus lighter petrol versions), which dampens agility but aids stability on the motorway. Expect composed cross-country cruising and confidence-inspiring behaviour in everyday cornering rather than sports-car thrills.

Costs to Run: Litre, kWh and Real-World Range

Petrol PureTech models return around 5.9 L/100 km in WLTP figures while mild-hybrid variants can dip to about 4.7–4.8 L/100 km, which translates to comfortable long-distance mileage for mixed driving. The electric e‑C4 family uses roughly 14.5–15.3 kWh/100 km from batteries in the 46–51 kWh range, delivering WLTP ranges from about 354 km up to 427 km depending on spec — sufficient for most daily commutes and many weekend trips without frequent charging. In practice, real-world EV range will vary with speed, climate and load, but the higher-range electric versions suit those wanting minimal charging stops. For urban drivers the EVs lower running costs and eliminate tailpipe emissions; for longer-distance drivers a petrol or hybrid still offers the most straightforward refuelling experience.

Driver Aids and Daily Tech

Safety and assistance equipment cover the essentials: adaptive cruise, lane-keeping aids, blind-spot monitoring and automated parking aids are available and make motorway and city driving less tiring. Infotainment offers smartphone mirroring and connected features, though the touchscreen experience is competent rather than class‑leading and quick shortcuts are missed by some drivers. Practical ramps such as multiple USB points and clear menus help everyday usability, while higher trims add richer safety packs for those who want extra peace of mind. Overall, the tech package helps the C4 feel up-to-date without overwhelming the driver with gimmicks.

Who Should Put the C4 on Their Shortlist?

The Citroën C4 suits buyers who prioritise comfort, style and practical everyday usability over outright performance — especially families, city commuters and those switching to electric for lower running costs. The range covers petrol PureTech and mild-hybrid options for traditional buyers, alongside e‑C4 and e‑C4 X electric variants with 136–156 hp and WLTP ranges that can reach the mid‑400 kilometres, so there is a version for many needs. Heavy drivers who demand sharp handling or maximum cargo volume might look elsewhere, but anyone wanting a relaxed, well-equipped compact with modern powertrain choices will find the C4 compelling. Current line‑up spans petrol, MHEV and fully electric models, allowing buyers to choose the balance of economy and emissions that fits their lifestyle.
