# **New Citroën C4 and C4 X: Stylish, Comfortable, and Surprisingly Clever**
Citroën has unveiled the latest versions of its C4 and C4 X models, and let’s just say—they’ve been busy. These cars aren’t just about looking good (which they do). They’re also about making **every drive smoother, quieter, and more relaxing**. And in a world where potholes seem to be multiplying like rabbits, that’s a welcome change.
## **Sleek Exterior Design: More Than Just a Pretty Face**
Citroën has given the C4 and C4 X a **fresh new look**. Think of it as a stylish makeover, but without the questionable haircut decisions. The **redesigned front grille**, updated **brand logo**, and **sleeker LED headlights** give the cars a sharper, more confident appearance. Meanwhile, the rear has been tidied up to improve **aerodynamic efficiency**, which basically means you’ll cut through the air more smoothly, using less energy in the process.
Other key exterior features include:
- **New LED headlight clusters** that shine brighter than your phone screen at 2 AM.
- **Two new paint options**: Manhattan Green (for those who like understated elegance) and Eclipse Blue (for those who want their car to look as mysterious as a spy movie).
- **Subtle body line refinements** that make the car look as if it’s always in motion—even when parked.
## **Interior Comfort and Technology: Because You Deserve to Be Spoiled**
Step inside, and you’ll quickly realize that Citroën wasn’t kidding about **comfort**. The **Advanced Comfort seats** have been upgraded with **thicker foam padding**, making long journeys feel less like a test of endurance and more like a first-class flight. If you’ve ever driven for more than two hours and started questioning your life choices, you’ll appreciate this.
Tech-wise, [the new Citroën C4](https://electriclighter.wordpress.com/2025/02/08/2025-citroen-c4-and-c4-x-now-with-more-style-comfort-and-less-road-rage/) and C4 X come packed with **thoughtful upgrades**, including:
- **A 7-inch digital driver’s display**, because old-school dials are so last century.
- **A 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system** with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. No more fumbling with cables like a magician performing a bad trick.
- **Physical climate control buttons**, because touchscreen-only climate controls are the automotive equivalent of putting the volume button on the back of a phone—frustrating and unnecessary.
## **Powertrain Options: Pick Your Poison**
Not everyone drives the same way, which is why Citroën offers **multiple powertrain choices**. Whether you’re an **eco-warrior** or just someone who hates stopping for gas, there’s an option for you.
- **Electric Versions**: Available with either a **100kW (136hp) or 115kW (156hp) electric motor**, paired with a **54kWh battery**. The latter offers a range of **up to 263 miles** (WLTP). That’s enough to get you through an entire road trip without having to explain to your passengers why you didn’t check the charging stations beforehand.
- **Hybrid Models**: Featuring a **1.2-liter Turbo PureTech engine** paired with a **6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission**. This version balances fuel efficiency with enough power to keep things interesting.
## **Trim Levels and Pricing: The Fun Stuff**
Citroën keeps it simple with three trim levels: **YOU!**, **PLUS**, and **MAX**. Even the base model comes loaded with:
- **18-inch bi-tone ‘Amber’ diamond-cut alloy wheels** (because 17 inches just weren’t enough).
- **Dual-zone climate control** (so driver and passenger can finally stop arguing over the temperature).
- **Rear parking sensors**, because even the best drivers have their off days.
Pricing starts at **$30,000** for the C4 and **$33,500** for the C4 X. That’s **less than some people pay for coffee in a year**.

## **The Drive Experience: Smooth, Quiet, and Built for Real Roads**
Driving the new Citroën C4 and C4 X feels like **floating on a cloud**, but without the risk of plummeting to the ground. Thanks to **Citroën’s Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension system**, these cars absorb bumps and potholes with ease. This isn’t just marketing fluff—on rough roads, the difference is noticeable. Speed bumps? Barely a blip. Cobblestone streets? More like a gentle massage than a jackhammer to the spine.
Noise levels are also impressively low. **Citroën has worked on reducing cabin vibrations**, wind noise, and road roar, making the driving experience more serene. Whether you’re commuting in city traffic or cruising on the highway, the cabin remains **a peaceful oasis**—unless, of course, you have kids in the backseat who just discovered how to argue at 100 decibels.
## **Fuel Efficiency and Charging: A Practical Choice**
With fuel prices being as unpredictable as the weather, efficiency matters. The **Hybrid 136 version** combines the best of both worlds, delivering lower emissions and improved mileage without requiring frequent charging stops. Citroën claims up to **15% fuel savings compared to traditional petrol models**, which means more miles per gallon and fewer trips to the pump.
For those considering the electric version, charging is refreshingly simple. With **100 kW fast charging**, the battery can reach **80% in just 30 minutes**—just enough time to grab a coffee and question why you ordered that extra-large croissant. For home charging, a **7.4 kW wall box** takes around **7.5 hours**, making overnight charging a convenient option. Whether you opt for petrol, hybrid, or full-electric, Citroën has ensured that **running costs stay low and efficiency stays high**.
## **Final Thoughts**
The new Citroën C4 and C4 X don’t just look good—they **drive well, keep you comfortable, and won’t break the bank**. If you want a **car that’s as practical as it is stylish**, this could be the one. **Just be ready for people asking you about it at gas stations, parking lots, and anywhere else you stop.**
