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 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.
