Citroën ë-C4 X (2023 – current) | Skilled Score


Summary


Arriving in the UK in Spring 2023, the Citroën ë-C4 X is an electric four-door saloon that sits somewhere between a conventional car and a crossover/SUV vehicle.

Based on the electric Citroën ë-C4 family hatchback, it sits taller than a conventional saloon but lower than a regular SUV, in much the same way as the larger C5 X, which won The Car Expert‘s Best Large Car Award for 2022.

The saloon’s reception from the UK media has been somewhat mixed. While reviewers agree that the ë-C4 X is a comfortable and efficient family car, many comment that it faces strong competition from its EV rivals, even within the Citroën range.

“There’s not much that’ll persuade you to buy this saloon instead of its hatchback stablemate”, argues The Telegraph‘s Alex Robbins, “and the range that simply doesn’t stack up to its rivals.”

The ë-C4 and ë-C4 X share the same rather affordable price tag, but while the saloon offers a bigger boot, it also comes with less rear headroom.

Some outlets also take issue with the car’s performance. “Its soft suspension and sedate acceleration make it a comfortable pick for tackling pothole-strewn roads and motorway trips”, Carbuyer explains, “but don’t make for an engaging driving experience.”

As of January 2023, the Citroën ë-C4 X holds an Expert Rating of 54% based on 12 reviews published by British motoring outlets, which means that it is some way short of the 69% held by the ë-C4.

Please note that all of these reviews were published after the car’s European launch. Therefore, this score could significantly increase or decrease in the coming months as reviewers get their hands on UK spec models.
