2022 Citroen E-C4 - Europe's Electric Magic Carpet via insideevs.com
, and in fact, it’s no longer a hatchback. Citroen has turned the latest C4 into a kind of high-riding coupe-like crossover that doesn’t appear quite as tall as most crossovers, although its ride height does give it away.
Acceleration is leisurely at best, since the E-C4 needs almost 10 seconds to reach 100 km/h , which is to be expected given that it weighs 1,636 kg ; top speed is 150 km/h . With that being said, you will never really be left wanting for power since the vehicle’s 260 Nm of torque is delivered instantly and the vehicle picks up nicely even when you accelerate while already traveling at high speeds.Citroen loves suspension so much, it gave the E-C4’s suspension its own... suspension.
Not in the E-C4, though. During my drive, I frankly didn’t notice this at all and I drove it on many bad roads and my city’s horrific tram tracks that really stick out and should have been refurbished 30 years ago. It just feels settled and planted no matter what you drive it over, even when you go over large road imperfections at higher speeds.
The rear light clusters also deserve attention. The upper part lifts with the hatch , while the lower part stays in place and it looks quite unique when open. Trunk space is 380 liters and you can lower the rear seat to get 1,250 liters . Materials are not exceptional and while I didn’t mind the swathes of hard plastic on the dashboard , I did not appreciate the limited padding on the central and door armrests - these were the biggest letdown for me as they just kept the interior comfort levels from being unmatched.
