Overview

As is tradition, the Citroen e-C4 shuns sportiness for a big dollop of comfort. It’s one of the plushest riding family electric cars out there, just like the regular Citroen C4 is amongst other hatchbacks. The e-C4 has already received a bit of a tickle since its introduction with a slightly larger battery, with this facelift adding a bit more tech and the latest Citroen styling.

This includes a new oval-shaped logo from the manufacturer, and revised headlight signatures for a more contemporary look. The 2025 e-C4 also offers vehicle-to-load charging capabilities. V2L charging essentially turns your e-C4 into a rolling power source for gadgets like camping lights or an electric bike. A trick worth considering if you plan to make it your family electric car.

The same trim grades are all present and correct on the 2025 model, but they’ve been renamed as YOU!, PLUS and MAX in ascending order. The updates are only light, but in our eyes they all seem to work.

Citroen has always liked to do things differently – the striking looks should be evidence enough of that – and the e-C4 is definitely unlike anything else on the market. Its key rivals are the slightly smaller Volkswagen ID.3 and the MG4, but the e-C4’s height means parallels will always be drawn with the likes of the Kia Niro EV, MG S5 and Peugeot e-2008.

Alongside those SUVs, the e-C4 looks like a case of style over substance, but the emphasis on comfort and the eye-catching exterior design will win it plenty of fans. The only catch is a slightly underwhelming range that makes it less well suited to long journeys.

2025 introduced a significant price cut which makes the relatively low range an awful lot more palatable. If you can live with around 200 miles of range, it’s suddenly much, much cheaper than many other electric hatchbacks.

Over the next few pages, we’ll be reviewing all aspects of the Citroen e-C4 thoroughly and rating them in our verdict. Our scores will look at the driving experience, how pleasant the interior is, the practicality on offer and what it’ll cost you to run.
